To offer an illustration without stating the point, however, was like presenting a riddle instead (compare Test.
Ab. 12–13A).
By articulating his principles only in parables, Jesus offers riddles whose answer can be fathomed only by those who understand them in the context of his own ministry (for example, events like the Pharisees’ rejection—12:24–45) or who patiently press into his inner circle to wait for the interpretation (13:12; compare Irenaeus Adversus haereses 2.27.3).
