Mark 4:2

And He was teaching them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them,

Jesus spoke all of these things to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He was not speaking to them:

And calling them to Him, He continued to speak to them in parables, How is Satan able to cast out Satan?

And He said to them, To you it has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them who are without, all things are in parables:

And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went out to sow.

And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables?

And it came to pass when Jesus finished these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching:

And in many such parables He continued to speak the word to them, as they were able to hear.

And He said to them in His teaching, Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and salutations in the forums,

Then Jesus responded to them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but of Him that sent me;

Then the high priest asked Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching.
