Yeshua’s use of parables

Mat 13:10–17

13:10 Yeshua’s use of parables

(Mark 4:10-12; Luke 8:9-10)

10 After that, his apprentices came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

11 “You guys have been permitted to know the heavenly kingdom’s mysteries,” replied Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), “but not those other people, 12 because anyone who already has will be given more, and they’ll end up with plenty, but anyone who doesn’t have, even what they do have will be taken away from them.[ref] 13 That’s why I speak to them in parables, because when they look they don’t see, and when they listen, they don’t hear or understand, 14 and so the prophecy written by (Isaiah) is being fulfilled:

‘When you listen you will hear, but you certainly won’t understand,

and when you look you will see, but you certainly won’t perceive anything,

15 because these people’s hearts are insensitive, and they can barely hear with their ears,

and they shut their eyes so they can’t see with them.

Otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears,

and understand with their heart, and then return to me, and then I would heal them.’[ref]

16 “But your eyes are blessed, because they can see, and your ears also, because they can hear,[ref] 17 because I can assure you guys that many prophets and godly people wanted to see what you’re seeing, but they didn’t see, and they wanted to hear what you’re hearing, but they didn’t hear it either.

10 And the apprentices/followers having _approached said to _him:
For/Because_ why _reason are _you _speaking to _them in parables?

11 And he answering said to _them:
Because to _you _all has _been _given to _know the mysteries of _the kingdom of _the heavens, but to _those it _has_ not _˓been˒_given.

12 For/Because whoever is _having, will _be _being _given to _him and he _will _be _being _in _abundance, but whoever is_ not _having, even what he _is _having will _be _being _taken _away from him.

13 Because _of this I _am _speaking in parables to _them, because seeing they _are_ not _seeing, and hearing they _are_ not _hearing, nor are _they _understanding.

14 And the prophecy of _Aʸsaias/(Yəshaˊ^yāh) is _being _fulfilled to _them which saying:
With _hearing you _all _will _be _hearing but by _no _means you _all _may_ not _understand, and seeing you _all _will _be _seeing but by _no _means you _all _may_ not _perceive.

15 For/Because the heart of_ the this _people was _become _dull, and they_ hardly _heard with _the ears, and they _shut the eyes of _them, lest they _may _see with _the eyes, and they _may _hear with _the ears, and they _may _understand with _the heart, and they _may _return and I _will _be _healing them.

16 But blessed are the eyes of _you _all because they _are _seeing, and the ears of _you _all because they _are _hearing.

17 For/Because, truly I _am _saying to _you _all that many prophets and righteous men desired to _see what you _all _are _seeing, and they_ not _saw, and to _hear what you _all _are _hearing, and they_ not _heard.

4:10 Why Yeshua speaks in parables

(Mat. 13:10-17; Luke 8:9-10)

10 Later when the crowd had left, the twelve apprentices asked him about the parables 11 and he told them, “You’ve been given understanding about God’s kingdom, but for others, they’ll get it in parables

12 so that when they look, they might see but not perceive,

and when they listen, they might hear but not understand,

otherwise they might turn from their sins and be forgiven.”[ref]

10 And when he _became down/against/according _to alone, they with the twelve about him were _asking him the parables.

11 And he _was _saying to _them:
The mystery of _the kingdom of_ the _god has _been _given to _you _all, but to _those who are outside, all the things is _becoming in parables,

12 in _order _that seeing, they _may _be _seeing and may_ not _perceive, and hearing, they _may _be _hearing and may_ not _be _understanding, lest they _may _turn _back and it _may _be _forgiven to _them.

8:9 The reason for parables

(Mark 4:10-12; Mat. 13:10-17)

9 After that, his apprentices asked him, “What’s that parable all about?” 10 “You’re permitted to know the mysteries of God’s kingdom,” responded Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), “but the others get parables so that when they look, they won’t see, and when they listen, they won’t understand.[ref]

It _has _been _given to _you _all to _know the mysteries of _the kingdom of_ the _god, but to _the rest in parables, in _order _that seeing they _may_ not _be _seeing, and hearing they _may_ not _be _understanding.
