Mark 4:2

And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching:

All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them;

And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?

And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are without, all things are done in parables;

And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying: Behold, the sower went out to sow.

And the disciples came and said to him: "Why dost thou speak to them in parables?

And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, that the multitudes were astonished at his teaching:

And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.

And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in robes, and love salutations in the markets,

Then Jesus answered and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

Then the chief priest questioned Jesus concerning his disciples and his teaching.
