He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

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

For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

…and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

…because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

Peter said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
