The Purpose of the Parables(A)
10 When he was alone with the Twelve and those around him, they began to ask him about the parables. 11 He told them, “The secret about the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside, everything comes in parables 12 so that

otherwise they might turn around and be forgiven.’”[a]
