Matthew 13:11-
12 He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. ...
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Mark 4:14-
20 The
sower soweth
the word. ... And these are they
which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [
it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some
an hundred.
