Using Parables Fulfills Prophecy

34 Jesus told the crowds all these things in parables, and He would not speak anything to them without a parable, 35 so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:

from the foundation of the world.[a]

Luke 1:26-38 ( Greek  -- Bible Hub ) Gabriel Predicts Jesus’ Birth 26 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David.
