Mark 4:11 in Context — Mark 4

9 Puis il dit: Que celui qui a des oreilles pour entendre entende.

10 Lorsqu’il fut en particulier, ceux qui l’entouraient avec les douze l’interrogèrent sur les paraboles.

11 Il leur dit: C’est à vous qu’a été donné le mystère du royaume de Dieu;mais pour ceux qui sont dehors tout se passe en paraboles,

12 afin qu’en voyant ils voient et n’aperçoivent point, et qu’en entendant ils entendent et ne comprennent point, de peur qu’ils ne se convertissent, et que les péchés ne leur soient pardonnés.

13 Il leur dit encore: Vous ne comprenez pas cette parabole? Comment donc comprendrez-vous toutes les paraboles?
