Greetings, In the case of Mark 4:11-12, Jesus quotes Isaiah 6:9-10 to explain why he uses parables to teach with. Now, while Jesus is known for using parables to teach with, he wasn't the only one in the Bible. Many of the old testament prophets used parables. His reasoning, as he explains, is to reveal the mysteries of God and Heaven to everyone. However, those who are closest to Christ will understand the meaning. Those who aren't will hear nothing but nonsense and riddles. This is why many people, both during the time of Christ and even now, have a hard time getting to the root meaning of parables. In Isaiah 6:9-10, this is a part of Isaiah's calling to becoming a prophet. His message from God was designed to harden the hearts of rebellious and ungodly while also instructing and guiding the faithful. This is similar to Jesus's purpose for speaking in parables, which is why he chose it as scriptural support for his method of teaching. Jalek |
