{The mysteries} (	a must(8872)ia). See for this word on 烘t
13:11; Mr 4:11|. Part of the mystery here explained is how so
many people who have the opportunity to enter the kingdom fail to
do so because of manifest unfitness. {That} (hina). Here  Mr
4:11  also has hina while  Mt 13:13  has hoti (because). On
the so-called causal use of hina as here equal to hoti see
discussion on 烘t 13:13; Mr 4:11|. Plummer sensibly argues that
there is truth both in the causal hoti of Matthew and the final
hina of Mark and Matthew. "But the principle that he who hath
shall receive more, while he who hath not shall be deprived of
what he seemeth to have, explains both the hina and the hoti.
Jesus speaks in parables because the multitudes see without
seeing and hear without hearing. But He also speaks in parable
{in order that} they may see without seeing and hear without
hearing." Only for "hearing" Luke has "understand" suni(9373)in,
present subjunctive from a late omega form suni(935c) instead of the
-mi verb suni(886d)i.
