Psalm 78:2

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

I will incline my ear to a proverb: I will disclose my riddles upon the harp.

To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their riddles.

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.

All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:

But without a parable he spoke not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

I will incline my ear to a proverb: I will disclose my riddles upon the harp.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because seeing they see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their riddles.

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.

But without a parable he spoke not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come into the open.
