Matthew 13:3
Christ speaks in parables (Matthew 13:3) also to show through them that he himself is the one prophesied, of whom David said, “I will open my mouth in parables,” (Psalm 78:2) and again, “And the man will be one who hides his words and will be hidden as from rushing water.”
Greek
∆ιὰ τοῦτο ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖ ὁ Χριστός, ἵνα καὶ διὰ τούτων δείξῃ, ὅτι αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ προφητευθείς, περὶ οὗ εἶπεν ∆αυίδ· "ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου" καὶ πάλιν· "καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἄνθρωπος κρύ πτων τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ καὶ κρυβήσεται ὡς ἀφ' ὕδατος φερομένου".
