With many other parables like these, Jesus kept speaking his message to them according to their ability to understand.

While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader's home and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?"

He was speaking about this matter quite openly.

When they take you away and hand you over for trial, don't worry ahead of time about what you will say. Instead, say whatever is given to you at that time, because it won't be you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Such a large crowd gathered that there wasn't room for them, even in front of the door. Jesus was speaking his message to them

Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.
