Mark 4:2

And He was teaching them many things in parables, and was saying to them in His teaching,

All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable.

And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

And He was saying to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables,

And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow;

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

I will incline my ear to a proverb;
I will express my riddle on the harp.

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching;

With many such parables He was speaking the word to them, so far as they were able to hear it;

In His teaching He was saying: “Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places,

So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

The high priest then questioned Jesus about His disciples, and about His teaching.
