Matthew 13:34-35 GW Jesus used illustrations to tell the crowds all these things. He did not tell them anything without illustrating it with a story. (35) So what the prophet had said came true: "I will open my mouth to illustrate points. I will tell what has been hidden since the world was made."

Matthew 13:34-35 GNB Jesus used parables to tell all these things to the crowds; he would not say a thing to them without using a parable. (35) He did this to make come true what the prophet had said, "I will use parables when I speak to them; I will tell them things unknown since the creation of the world."

Matthew 13:34-35 ESV All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed, he said nothing to them without a parable. (35) This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."

Matthew 13:34, 35 NWT All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds by illustrations.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
