Mark 4:10

When he was alone with the Twelve and those around him, they began to ask him about the parables.

Then the disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do you speak to people in parables?"

He did not tell them anything without using a parable, though he explained everything to his disciples in private.

Whoever keeps company with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.

Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and asked, "Explain to us the parable about the weeds in the field."

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples began asking him about the parable.

Then his disciples began to ask him what this parable meant.
