Matthew 13:34-35
New American Standard Bible
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak anything to them (A)without a parable. 35 This was so that what was spoken through the prophet would be [a]fulfilled:
“(B)I will open My mouth in parables;
I will proclaim things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

34 Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when speaking to the crowds. In fact, he never spoke to them without using such parables. 35 This fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet:
“I will speak to you in parables.
I will explain things hidden since the creation of the world.[a]”
