45.17 He Did Not Speak Without a Parable

MT 13:34-35

34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; and without a parable he did not speak to them. 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet:

"I will open my mouth in parables,

I will utter things hidden

since the foundation of the world."

MK 4:33-34

33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable he did not speak to them. And when they were alone, he explained everything to his own disciples.
