The disciples came to Him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?"

              He replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

                         Whoever has will be given more and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

                                      This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand."
