Marcos 4:11 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 4:11

And he said unto them
His disciples;

unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God;
or the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, the secrets of the Gospel dispensation, the mysterious doctrines of grace; (See Gill on Matthew 13:11),

but unto them that are without;
"to strangers", as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it, who were not the disciples of Christ, nor admitted to any intimacy with him; who came only to amuse themselves with the sight of his person and miracles:

all [these] things are done in parables;
are wrapped up in dark sayings, and figurative expressions, the sound of which they heard, and might be pleased with the pretty similes made use of, but understood not the spiritual meaning of them.

Marcos 4:11 In-Context

9 Y El decía: El que tiene oídos para oír, que oiga.
10 Cuando se quedó solo, sus seguidores junto con los doce, le preguntaban sobre las parábolas.
11 Y les decía: A vosotros os ha sido dado el misterio del reino de Dios, pero los que están afuera reciben todo en parábolas;
12 para que VIENDO VEAN PERO NO PERCIBAN, Y OYENDO OIGAN PERO NO ENTIENDAN, NO SEA QUE SE CONVIERTAN Y SEAN PERDONADOS.
13 Y les dijo<***>: ¿No entendéis esta parábola? ¿Cómo, pues, comprenderéis todas las parábolas?
