Matthew 13:34-35
Legacy Standard Bible
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He was not speaking to them (A)without a parable 35 so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
“(B)I will open My mouth in parables;
I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

Purpose of parables to the crowds
34 Jesus said all these things to the crowds in parables, and he spoke to them only in parables. 35 This was to fulfill what the prophet spoke:
I’ll speak in parables;
I’ll declare what has been hidden since the beginning of the world.[a]
