Psalm 78:2

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

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

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

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 spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

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

But without a parable spake he 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 any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
