"Again the Kingdom of Heaven is like a pearl merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great price, he sold everything he owned and bought it," Matthew 13:45-46.

Jesus said that He spoke in parables to hide the secrets of the kingdom from some and reveal them to others.This does not mean His parables are full of esoteric information that only a select few can grasp.
