This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

The reason Yeshua used parables

Mat 13:34–35

Mark 4:33–34

34 Yeshua told all these things to the crowds in the form of parables. In fact he said nothing that wasn’t a parable, 35 so that what had been written by the prophet would be fulfilled:[ref]

‘I will be saying things that have been hidden since the creation of the world.’


33 ⇔And so as much as they could handle it, Yeshua shared the good message with them via many similar word pictures. 34 He never spoke without those illustrations, but he explained all of them to his close followers.
