Thematic Bible: Jesus Christ speaking in parables


Thematic Bible



My people, hear my instruction; listen to what I say. I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past-

Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables, and He would not speak anything to them without a parable, so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled: I will open My mouth in parables; I will declare things kept secret from the foundation of the world.

He would speak the word to them with many parables like these, as they were able to understand. And He did not speak to them without a parable. Privately, however, He would explain everything to His own disciples.
