God speaks through prophets. Every line of scripture was composed by a prophet acting by inspiration of God. I dare say that this also applies to the sayings of Jesus.

Edit: the chief difference between a parable and a mystical passage in Genesis (for example) may be simply that a parable is an overt analogy, whereas a mystical passage from the OT may not be obviously such. But it is instructive to consider the ways in which prophecy (not necessarily about future events) and prophetic imagery relate to their subject matter. It’s perhaps similar to the way oral traditions eventually result in a legendarium while still possibly rooted in historical or culturally significant messages.
