Mark 9:28

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

And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable.

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

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 of the field."

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

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"

And 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 to his own disciples he explained everything.
