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—

这都是耶稣用比喻对众人说的话，不用比喻，他就不对他们说什么。这是要应验先知所说的话：“我要开口说比喻，说出从创世以来所隐藏的事。”

我要侧耳听比喻，用琴解谜语。

明白箴言和譬喻，懂得智慧人的言词和谜语。

耶稣回答他们说：“因为天国的奥秘只让你们知道，不让他们知道。凡有的，还要给他，让他有余；凡没有的，连他所有的也要夺去。我之所以用比喻对他们讲，是因为他们看却看不清，听却听不见，也不明白。

若不用比喻，他就不对他们讲，但私下没有人的时候，就把一切的道讲给门徒听。
