Mark 4:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

He told them: The secret of the kingdom of God is given to you. Illustrations are spoken to outsiders.

Jesus called them to him and spoke to them in illustrations. He asked: How could Satan cast out Satan?

I will incline my ear (turn my attention) to a proverb. I will explain my riddle with the music of a harp.

I will open my mouth in an illustration. I will utter dark sayings of old,

He told them many illustrations. He said: A farmer went out to sow.

He said: Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and to have greetings in the marketplaces.

When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at what he taught.

Jesus replied: My teaching is not my own. It is his who sent me.

The high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about the things he taught.
