'Explain' in the Bible

So He called them to Himself and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan?

And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them,

When He was alone, the Twelve and the others who were about Him requested Him to explain His figurative language.

And He said, “How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use to illustrate and explain it?

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