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,

这都是耶稣用比喻对众人说的话；若不用比喻，就不对他们说什么。这是要应验先知的话，说：“我要开口用比喻，把创世以来所隐藏的事发明出来。”

我要侧耳听比喻，用琴解谜语。

使人明白箴言和譬喻，懂得智慧人的言词和谜语。

耶稣回答说：“因为天国的奥秘只叫你们知道，不叫他们知道。凡有的，还要加给他，叫他有余；凡没有的，连他所有的，也要夺去。所以我用比喻对他们讲，是因他们看也看不见，听也听不见，也不明白。

若不用比喻，就不对他们讲；没有人的时候，就把一切的道讲给门徒听。
