I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old—

I will open my mouth and tell a story. I will speak about things that were hidden. They happened a long time ago.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old,

for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—

I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past—

耶穌總是用比喻對眾人講這些事，祂每次對他們講話時都用比喻。這是要應驗先知的話：「我要開口講比喻，道出創世以來隱藏的事。」

我要側耳聽箴言，彈琴解釋人生之謎。

使人領悟箴言和比喻，明白智者的話和謎語。

耶穌回答說：「天國的奧祕只讓你們知道，不讓他們知道。因為凡有的，還要給他更多，他就豐富有餘；凡沒有的，連他僅有的也要奪去。我用比喻教導他們是因為他們視而不見，聽而不聞，聞而不悟。

祂總是用比喻對他們講論，只有單獨和門徒在一起的時候，才把一切解釋清楚。
