Matthew 13:34
Much of what Jesus did in his life here on earth was a fulfillment of prophecy. It would be impossible to find a prophecy he did not fulfill. And, although it is difficult for us to understand, his parables were a fulfillment of prophecy. Parables are like morality stories, the point might be missed if the moral to the story is not revealed. Indeed, only those who really wanted to understand would understand Jesus’ teachings.
Matthew 13:35
The quotation here is from the Psalms. Psalm 78 verse 2 states “I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:” This means that Jesus was expounding upon things that Almighty God had not yet chosen to reveal before that time. Though these things were true from the very beginning of the world, Jesus was the first to reveal them to mankind. He is the Prophet that would come, who is greater than Moses. He shows us the Truth that we need.
