Mat 13 – Why speak in parables? He doesn’t want everyone saved! Or they would be saved!

Mat 13:10 And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"
The disciples ask a good question. Why does He speak in parables to the people?
Mat 13:11 And He answered and said to them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

Mat 13:12 "For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.

The disciples want to know why Yeshua speaks in parables. He does so for a reason. Only certain ones will understand what He is saying. He wants it that way.

Mat 13:13 "Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Yeshua does not want everyone to understand what He is saying. He has good reason for this. It is a fulfillment of prophecy. In the Psalms we are told that Elohim will speak in parables for His people to know His Torah (Psalm 78:1-7). These parables are about knowing His Torah.
