«All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: / That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.»
«And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.»
«And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? / The sower soweth the word.»
«And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.»
«And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, / The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, / And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.»
«Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.»
«And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? / He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.»
