2  I will open my mouth in a ^aparable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

  11  And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in ^bparables:

  18  And I have given unto him the keys of the mystery of those things which have been ^bsealed, even things which were from the foundation of the world, and the things which shall come from this time until the time of my coming, if he abide in me, and if not, another will I plant in his stead.
