¹⁷ And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

¹⁵ And Peter answering said to him, `Explain to us this simile.'

³⁶ Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came to the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying, `Explain to us the simile of the darnel of the field.'

²⁸ And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself -- `Why were we not able to cast it forth?'

¹⁰ And the disciples having come near, said to him, `Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?'

¹⁰ And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

³⁴ and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.
