Matthew 13:34

And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow;

And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

And He was teaching them many things in parables, and was saying to them in His teaching,

and He was not speaking to them without a parable; but He was explaining everything privately to His own disciples.

“These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you openly of the Father.

His disciples *said, “Behold, now You are speaking openly and are not using a figure of speech.
