And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes, and he did not speak to them independent of a parable,

And having summoned them, he said to them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

I will incline my ear to a parable. I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

I will open my mouth in parable{s (LXX/NT)}. I will utter dark sayings of old,

And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these sayings, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

And in his teaching he said to them, Look away from the scholars, those who desire to go about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,

The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his doctrine.
