Why name the book Parables of the Mysteries

Matthew 13:11-13 (KJV)11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

The name comes from Jesus mention "mysteries of the kingdom" in Matt 13:11 and about speaking in parables in Matt 13:13

So, to the multitude Jesus spoke the parables of the mysteries of the kingdom. But the title is too long for a book, so the book is simply called Parables of the Mysteries.

Though Jesus was speaking the parables to the multitudes to keep them from understanding, the parables are recorded to us with only a few parables that are explained in detail.

In effect the words on the kingdom still come to the believers as parables of they mysteries, as doubly encoded thoughts, left for the believers to figure out.
