Bible Question:
Given: The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10) However, in Matt. 13:10, when Jesus is asked why he speaks in parables, His answer seems to imply that He does so not to aid in the people in their understanding, but to confound it..."Otherwise they might see...hear...and understand... and turn and I would heal them."

Bible Answer: Wee Willy, Jesus was actually saying, the Nation of Israel, was blinded. Although thousands of Jews did follow Jesus.

Act.1:6 (Salvation) had to come, to the Gentiles, in order for us to see, and enter His kingdom. All of the parables, are only about, the Kingdom of God, and nothing else.
