they would understand later – v2


They really didn’t understand
the parables, His message
the teachings of Christ
that He taught His first disciples
that He shared with the people
they really didn’t understand
though He was talking their language
their eyes had not yet been opened
to the meaning of His lessons

They didn’t understand Christ’s words
though He was speaking plainly to them
He used metaphors, parables, from their lives
but they could not understand Him
because their eyes had not yet been opened
they would need His death, His resurrection
they would need the breath of the Spirit
for them to gain their vision

They would understand later
the lessons He taught them
the words of the parable
the way of the kingdom
their eyes would be opened
after His resurrection
they would understand fully
their eyes would be opened to
the lessons He taught them
