我要開口用比喻，把古時隱祕的事說出來，

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—

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will tell riddles of old,

耶穌用比喻向群眾講了這一切，他所講的，沒有不用比喻的。這就應驗了先知所說的：“我要開口用比喻，把創世以來隱祕的事說出來。”

我要留心聆聽箴言；我要彈琴解開謎語。

使人明白箴言和譬喻，懂得智慧人的言詞和他們的隱語。

他回答：“天國的奧祕，只給你們知道，卻不給他們知道。因為凡是有的，還要給他，他就充足有餘；凡是沒有的，就連他有甚麼也要拿去。因此，我用比喻對他們講話，因為他們看卻看不見，聽也聽不到，也不明白。

不用比喻，就不對他們講。只有單獨和自己的門徒在一起的時候，才把一切解釋給他們聽。
