Jesus Gives True Rest^(A)

^25 (B)At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ^(C)You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent ^(D)and have revealed them to babes.

¹⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, ^(A)for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but ^(B)My Father who is in heaven.

The Purpose of Parables^(A)

^10 (B)But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.

¹¹ And He said to them, “To you it has been given to ^(A)know the ^[a]mystery of the kingdom of God; but to ^(B)those who are outside, all things come in parables,

⁶⁵ And He said, “Therefore ^(A)I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”

¹⁰ But ^(A)God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

^27 (A)To them God willed to make known what are ^(B)the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: ^[a]which is ^(C)Christ in you, ^(D)the hope of glory.

²⁰ But ^(A)you have an anointing ^(B)from the Holy One, and ^(C)you^[a] know all things.

²⁷ But the ^(A)anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and ^(B)you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing ^(C)teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you ^[a]will abide in Him.
