Not everyone can accept this word This phrase introduces a profound truth about the nature of spiritual teachings and the human heart's readiness to receive them. The Greek word for "accept" is "χωρέω" (chōreō), which implies making room for or containing something. In the context of Jesus' teachings, it suggests that not all hearts are prepared or willing to make room for the challenging truths of the Kingdom of God. Historically, this reflects the varied responses to Jesus' message, as some were open and receptive, while others were resistant or hostile. The phrase underscores the necessity of spiritual readiness and openness to divine truths. but only those to whom it has been given Parallel Commentaries ...
