Prophecy and the Parables
34 Mark 4:33, 34; John 10:6; 16:25All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, 35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
Ps. 78:2"I will open My mouth in parables;
Rom. 16:25, 26; 1 Cor. 2:7; Eph. 3:9; Col. 1:26I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world."
