Mark 4:11

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
