³⁴ All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:

³³ And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it;

³⁴ and without a parable spake he not unto them: but privately to his own disciples he expounded all things.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

¹³ Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
