Mark 7:17

When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.

But Peter said to him, "Explain the parable to us."

Then he left the crowd and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field."

And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

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

And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

But without a parable he did not speak to them. And when they were alone, he explained everything to his own disciples.
