Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom (Job 32:7).

Knowledge is the consequence of time, and multitude of days are fittest to teach wisdom.

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, / I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: / And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

To address the multitude is to speak parables

And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
