The Gospel of Matthew - The Purpose of the Parables| Matthew Chapter 13: 10 - 17

In Matthew 13:10-17, the disciples ask Jesus why He speaks in parables. He explains that parables reveal truths to those open to understanding but conceal them from those with hardened hearts. He highlights the privilege of the disciples, who see and hear what many prophets and righteous people longed for but did not experience. Jesus fulfills Isaiah’s prophecy about people who hear but do not understand and see but do not perceive, due to their spiritual dullness.
