³⁴ Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them,

³³ With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

³⁴ Without a parable he didn't speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained all things.

²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

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