He answered G611 and said G3004 to them, Because G3754 it is given G1325 to you to know G1097 the mysteries G3466 of the kingdom G932 of heaven, G3772 but to them it is not given. G1325

Therefore G1223 G5124 speak G2980 I to them in parables: G3850 because G3754 they seeing G991 see G991 not; and hearing G191 they hear G191 not, neither G3761 do they understand. G4920

For this G5127 people's G2992 heart G2588 is waxed G3975 gross, G3975 and their ears G3775 are dull G917 of hearing, G191 and their eyes G3788 they have closed; G2576 lest G3379 at G3379 any G3379 time G3379 they should see G1492 with their eyes G3788 and hear G191 with their ears, G3775 and should understand G4920 with their heart, G2588 and should be converted, G1994 and I should heal G2390 them.

For truly G281 I say G3004 to you, That many G4183 prophets G4396 and righteous G1342 men have desired G1939 to see G1492 those things which G3739 you see, G991 and have not seen G1492 them; and to hear G191 those things which G3739 you hear, G191 and have not heard G191 them.

And he said, G2036 To you it is given G1325 to know G1097 the mysteries G3466 of the kingdom G932 of God: G2316 but to others G3062 in parables; G3850 that seeing G991 they might not see, G991 and hearing G191 they might not understand. G4920

Those G3588 by the way G3598 side G3844 are they that hear; G191 then G1534 comes G2064 the devil, G1228 and takes G142 away G142 the word G3056 out of their hearts, G2588 lest G2443 G3361 they should believe G4100 and be saved. G4982

And that which fell G4098 among G1519 thorns G173 are they, which, when they have heard, G191 go G4198 forth, G4198 and are choked G4846 with cares G3308 and riches G4149 and pleasures G2237 of this G3588 life, G979 and bring G5052 no G3756 fruit G5062 to perfection. G5052
