Biblical parables were foretold, and are true?

18 Verses: (Definitions are lised below)

Jesus is the truth of God and God cannot lie. Each story or parable told by Jesus had a true history, or even a future to what He said. God the father knows all things, and Jesus the son and word of God knows and does His will. There is no reason either would make up a fictitious story.

Matthew 13:34 - 35. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in 3850> parables; and without a 3850> parable spake he not unto them: 35. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in 3850> parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Mark 4:33 - 34. And with many such 3850> parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 34. But without a 3850> parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

Numbers 23:17 - 19. And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken? 18. And he took up his parable <4912, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 19.

Psalms 78:1 - 4. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2. I will open my mouth in a parable <4912: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3. Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide [them] from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

Colossians 1:26 - 28. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Titus 1:1 - 2. Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
