Matthew 13:34-36

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.

³⁵ That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

³⁶ Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.
