Mark 7:17

When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable.

Peter said to Him, “Explain the parable to us.”

Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, “Why could we not drive it out?”

And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables.

and He did not speak to them without a parable; but He was explaining everything privately to His own disciples.
