All these thynges spake Iesus vnto the people in parables: and without a parable spake he not vnto them.
These thynges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme wyl come, when I shall no more speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely of my father.
Therfore speake I to them in parables: because they seeyng, see not: and hearyng, they heare not: neither do they vnderstande.
And he spake many thynges to them in parables, saying: Beholde, the sower went foorth to sowe.
This prouerbe spake Iesus vnto them: But they vnderstoode not what thynges they were, which he spake vnto them.
His disciples sayde vnto hym: Lo, nowe talkest thou plainely, and speakest no prouerbe.
