This is where the teaching of Christianity starts. One cannot use the KJV N.T. 'willy-nilly':
Jesus confirmed that He had two agendas:
Matthews: 8 KJV N.T.
22 But Jesus said unto him, 1. Follow me; and 2. let the dead bury their dead.
The above is how Jesus separated his disciples from all others.
Only the disciples were chosen or given by God to follow Jesus. Therefore everyone else were 'the dead who bury their dead'
Many more than the twelve disciples tried to follow Jesus. Jesus dismissed all, except the disciples. Only the twelve disciples were given by God and were allowed to 'follow Jesus'. Everyone, apart from the disciples, were 'the dead who were under Jesus other instruction, 'let the dead bury their dead':
John: 6 KJV N.T.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
The above set the division and tone for all deliveries in the KJV N.T.
Jesus also confirmed the following:
Matthews: 13 KJV N.T.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
The above fully establish the distinction between the disciples and everyone else who Jesus encountered and/or delivered too.
The above confirm that only the disciples were given or chosen by God to get the mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven from Jesus. And indeed Jesus gave the mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven to only the disciples, in very private sessions among only them.
In the above Jesus confirmed that He gave parables to everyone else, for the following reasons:
1. Jesus said that He gave parable to those who were not given by God to know the mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven.
These people were not given or chosen by God to get the mysteries of His kingdom of heaven. Therefore Jesus would not hide these mysteries in parables. It is not a game.
One is either given by God to follow Jesus or one is among the dead who bury their dead.
2. Jesus said that He gave parables to them (i.e. those who were not given by God to know the mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven) so that the little they have, will be taken from them.
This confirms that parables were not given to people to add any thing to them. Parables were given to take away the little that they had.
:idea: :idea: Clearly parables were given to serve Jesus second mission which is for 'the dead to bury their dead'.
Those who were called, by God, to follow Jesus were only the disciples and only they got the mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven, from Jesus in very private session among only them.
Why then would any one esteem, use, promote and invoke parables and falsely claim that they are following Jesus? They are obviously 'the dead who bury their dead'.
Those who follow Jesus are the chosen few. They are the ones who seek out, esteem, use, promote and invoke only those few revelations in the KJV N.T. which Jesus delivered to only His disciples in private session among only his disciples.
Clearly those who esteem, use, promote and/or invoke parables are not seeking the mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven. They are 'the dead who are burying their dead', according to Jesus other mission and instruction: 'let the dead bury their dead'.
