Mark 4:9-12
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 4

9And He was saying, 'He who has ears to hear, let him hear.'
10As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve disciples, began asking Him about the parables. 11And He was saying to them, 'To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but for those who are outside, everything comes in parables, 12so that WHILE SEEING THEY MAY SEE, AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR, AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND IT WOULD BE FORGIVEN THEM.'
King James Version

Chapter 4

9And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 4

9Then he said, "Let anyone who has ears to hear listen."
10When he was alone, those around him with the Twelve, asked him about the parables. 11He answered them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables
12so that they may indeed look, and yet not perceive; they may indeed listen, and yet not understand; otherwise, they might turn back and be forgiven."
New Living Translation

Chapter 4

9Then he said, 'Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.'
10Later, when Jesus was alone with the twelve disciples and with the others who were gathered around, they asked him what the parables meant.
11He replied, 'You are permitted to understand the secret of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables for everything I say to outsiders,
12so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled: ‘When they see what I do, they will learn nothing. When they hear what I say, they will not understand. Otherwise, they will turn to me and be forgiven.’ '
English Standard Version
