Mark 7:17

When He went into the house away from the crowd, the disciples asked Him about the parable.

Then Peter replied to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

Then He dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached Him and said, “Explain the parable of the weeds in the field to us.”

After He went into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

Then the disciples came up and asked Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

When He was alone with the Twelve, those who were around Him asked Him about the parables.

And He did not speak to them without a parable. Privately, however, He would explain everything to His own disciples.
