Thematic Bible
Parables » Jesus Christ speaking in parables
All this Jesus spoke to the people in figurative language, and except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them, in fulfilment of the saying of the Prophet, "I will open my mouth in figurative language, I will utter things kept hidden since the creation of all things."
With many such parables He used to speak the Message to them according to their capacity for receiving it. But except in figurative language He spoke nothing to them; while to His own disciples He expounded everything, in private.
