He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said:

He taught them many things using stories. In his teaching he said,

And he was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them:

He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them,

He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching said to them:

He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when speaking to the crowds. In fact, he never spoke to them without using such parables.This fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet:“ I will speak to you in parables. I will explain things hidden since the creation of the world.”

He replied,“ You are permitted to understand the secret of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables for everything I say to outsiders,

Jesus called them over and responded with an illustration.“ How can Satan cast out Satan?” he asked.

He told many stories in the form of parables, such as this one:“ Listen! A farmer went out to plant some seeds.

His disciples came and asked him,“ Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?”

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,

Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.

So Jesus told them,“ My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me.Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own.

Jesus used many similar stories and illustrations to teach the people as much as they could understand.In fact, in his public ministry he never taught without using parables; but afterward, when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything to them.

Jesus also taught:“ Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they like to parade around in flowing robes and receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces.

for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—

I listen carefully to many proverbs and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.
