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 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 to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

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

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

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

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
