“A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It
is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his
master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the
members of his household! So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing
concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made
known.”

“He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has
been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will
have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from
him. This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the
prophecy of Isaiah: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will
be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become
calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with
their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’ ”
