TSK · Matthew 13:3

Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;

Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:

Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?'

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them,

Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,

He summoned them, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?

He said to them, "Don't you understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables?

He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

"The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

Peter said to him, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?"

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
