The Purpose of Jesus’ Parables
(Isaiah 6:1–13, Matthew 13:10–17, Luke 8:9–10)
As soon as [Jesus] was alone [with] the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him [about] the parable.[fn]
11He replied“To know[fn] the mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables, 12 so that,
‘vvv they may be ever seeing [but] never perceiving,
and vvv ever hearing [but] never understanding;
otherwise they might turn
and be forgiven their sins.’[fn]”
