Mat 13:11 Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

In the text, this is a response to the apostles asking why he speaks in parables, but notice how this follows the last version about those who hear. Christ is clearly addressing this both to his apostles then and to everyone who has the ability to understand something deeper. The "them" is not the masses as it appears in the story, but those who do not listen.

Altearnative version: Because you have been given the ability to recognize the secret truths of the universale rule, but it is not given to others.

"Given" is didômi, which means "to give," "to produce," "to devote oneself," and "to deliver." It is the world almost always translated as "give" in the Gospels.

"Know" is ginôskô, which means "to know" and "to recognize." It has the sense of recognizing people and recognizing facts. It also means like the earlier words for "ears" and "hear," "to understand."

"Mystery" is mustêrion, which means "mystery" and "secret docrtine." It is specifically the term used for secret religious rites and knowledge.

"Kingdom of heaven" is basileia (kingdom) ouranos (heavens, universe), which we have already written about extensively.
