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,

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

I will sing a song that imparts wisdom; I will make insightful observations about the past.

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

耶稣用比喻向人群讲了这一切；他向他们讲话，没有不用比喻的。这是为要应验那藉着先知所说的话：“我要开口，用比喻说出创世以来被隐藏的事。”

我要侧耳听箴言，弹竖琴解开谜题。

使他们领悟箴言和比喻，领悟智慧人的话语和谜题。

耶稣回答他们，说：“天国的奥秘已经赐下来让你们知道，而没有赐给那些人；因为凡是有的，还要赐给他，使他丰足有余；凡是没有的，连他有的也将从他那里被拿走。我之所以用比喻对他们说，是因为他们虽然看了，却看不见；听了，却听不进，也不领悟。

他向众人讲话，没有不用比喻的。可是，他却单独给自己的门徒们解释一切。
