Psalm 78:2

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter enigmas from ancient time:

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my enigma upon the harp.

To understand a proverb, and an enigma: the words of the wise and their parables.

And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given.

All these things spake Jesus in parables to the crowds; and without a parable spake he not to them.

And without a parable spake he not to them: and apart, he solved all to his disciples.
