In this brief commentary, Paul Woodley explains that the parables recorded in Matthew 13 were spoken by Jesus to fulfill Old Testament prophecy. He cites Matthew 13:34‑35, noting that Jesus said nothing to the crowds without a parable, and links this to the prophetic declaration, "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world." Woodley emphasizes that the purpose of Jesus' parabolic teaching was to reveal hidden truths while simultaneously satisfying the prophetic expectation.

Gotcha. Okay, so that was the other parable that he said in Matthew 13. Now it says in verse 34, all these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables. Indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, quote, I will open my mouth in parables I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world. Okay, and so that is why Jesus spoke in parables, to fulfill prophecy, right?
