Matthew 13:34-35
Revised Standard Version
The Use of Parables
34 All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable. 35 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet:[a]
“I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”
