Matthew 13:34-35
Modern English Version
The Use of Parables
34 Jesus said all these things to the crowds in parables. And without a parable He did not speak to them, 35 to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying:
“I will open My mouth in parables;
I will say things which have been kept secret since the foundation of the world.”

Luke 8:10
Easy-to-Read Version
10 He said, “You have been chosen to know the secret truths about God’s kingdom. But I use stories to speak to other people. I do this so that
‘They will look,
but they will not see,
and they will listen,
but they will not understand.’
