Mark 7:17

When he had left the crowd and gone home, his disciples began asking him about the parable.

Then Peter told him, "Explain to us this parable."

Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and asked, "Explain to us the parable about the weeds in the field."

When Jesus came home, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive the spirit out?"

Then the disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do you speak to people in parables?"

When he was alone with the Twelve and those around him, they began to ask him about the parables.

He did not tell them anything without using a parable, though he explained everything to his disciples in private.
