New
Testament Verses regarding "Mysteries"
The
Greek Word mustairieon,
meaning "a mystery" is defined as "a hidden
secret thing, a riddle, a religious secret, confided only to the initiated
and not to ordinary people, a mystic or hidden sense, a metaphor,
an allusion to an OT saying, an image or form seen in a vision or
a dream, a sign seen in the name of Jesus." The word appears once each in Matthew, Mark, and
Luke, four times in Revelation, and twenty times in the epistles.

and hearing, they may hear but not understand." |
