Parables » Jesus Christ speaking in parables
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable he spoke nothing to them; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation [of the world]."
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear. But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
