'Speak' in the Bible

Then Jesus told him, "See to it that you don't speak to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest, and then offer the sacrifice that Moses commanded as proof to the authorities."

As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

When they hand you over, don't worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say, because in that hour what you are to say will be given to you.

What I tell you in darkness you must speak in the daylight, and what is whispered in your ear you must shout from the housetops.

As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to talk was brought to him. Jesus healed him so that the man could speak and see.

While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him.

Someone told him, "Look! Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak to you."

Then the disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do you speak to people in parables?"

That's why I speak to them in parables, because "they look but don't see, and they listen but don't hear or understand.'

This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet when he said, "I will open my mouth to speak in parables. I will declare what has been hidden since the creation of the world."
