I've always wondered about this verse. It's still happening, Not just concerning the Pharasees, it seems fulfillment is ongoing in this scripture.

lolz--When Jesus says
"Unto you it is given"--He is talking to us as believer's. God will show us what the world does not know, that we, as gentiles, are inheritor's with the Hebrews. That is the mystery of Heaven
As for the second part--The parables spoken is the Word. And as Jesus is speaking, He is sowing seed--Now that seed can get deep down on the inside of us, or the enemy can take it before it has a chance to grow.
We are in charge of obtaining understanding--So that we can protect that seed so that it can grow. We can ask God for understanding and it will be given to us! I believe Jesus said it this way so that if ppl don't understand--They'll want to and they'll ask questions so that they can learn.
But in all actuality--The Word of God does not return void, so through everything you speak--Plants seed. And this Word Jesus spoke--Planted seed
Okay I hope I'm making sense here
