'Stories' in the Bible
He told them many things in parables, saying, “Listen carefully: a sower went out to sow [seed in his field];
And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?
For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.
All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:
That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.
And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was talking about them.
