Mark 4:2

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

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

So he called them to himself and said to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan?

And he said to them, "To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but to those outside everything is in parables;

Then he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow his seed.

The disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"

And when Jesus had finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching,

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

And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places

Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
