No, I’m afraid you didn’t answer why Christ spoke in parables.Sure I did. From Mark. You like Matthew. They match.
And you’re wrong. Christ was not gnostic. Nor were His teachings.
Again with the misquoting. I'm saying you're veering into gnosticism.

You’ve given zero evidence of understanding Christ’s teaching as to why He spoke in parables. Read the verses in Matthew. Hopefully, they’ll help you.

"And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."
