Mark 4:10-12
10And when He was alone, 1His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11And He was saying to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to athose who are outside, everything comes bin parables, 12so that awhile seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, lest they return and be forgiven.”
