I would think that these verses might be just a little bit jarring to the kind of Protestant who thinks that everything he or she needs to know about God and divine things is laid out plainly in the Bible.
There’s a clear reference to secrecy in these verses, and, if there’s a reference to revealing secrets (which there is), it’s also pointed out that such revelation occurs symbolically, after a long wait, and that the plain truth is taught only to an inner circle of disciples.
A modern Christian could be pardoned for wondering whether, just maybe, he or she might have missed something.
