Psalm 78:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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.

Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing 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 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.

But without a parable he spoke not to 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 hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
