Prophecy and the Parables

34 (D)All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, 35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

(E)“I will open My mouth in parables;
(F)I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
