I tell

That same day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting beside the sea [of Galilee].

And He said, “To you [who have been chosen] it has been granted to know and recognize the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that though seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

“I have told you these things so that you will not stumble or be caught off guard and fall away.

Since we have such a [glorious] hope and confident expectation, we speak with great courage,

That preach

Wisdom shouts in the street,

She raises her voice in the markets;

Does not wisdom call,
And understanding lift up her voice?

“Go, stand and continue to tell the people in the temple [courtyards] the whole message of this Life [the eternal life revealed by Christ and found through faith in Him].”

So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there.

General references

She calls out at the head of the noisy streets [where large crowds gather];
At the entrance of the city gates she speaks her words:

For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been kept secret, but that it would come to light [that is, things are hidden only temporarily, until the appropriate time comes for them to be known].
