Matthew 13:34-35
Contemporary English Version
The Reason for Teaching with Stories
(Mark 4.33,34)
34 Jesus used stories when he spoke to the people. In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories. 35 (A) So God's promise came true, just as the prophet[a] had said,
“I will use stories
to speak my message
and to explain things hidden
since the creation
of the world.”
