Mark 7:17

Now when Jesus had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable.

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

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

Then, after he went into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we cast it out?"

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

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

He did not speak to them without a parable. But privately he explained everything to his own disciples.
