Matthew 15:15

Contemporary English Version 1995

Peter replied, “What did you mean when you talked about the things that make people unclean?”

See the chapter Copy

After Jesus left the crowd and went inside, his disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the story about the weeds in the wheat field.”

The disciples said, “Now you are speaking plainly to us! You are not using examples.

After Jesus and his disciples had left the crowd and gone into the house, they asked him what these sayings meant.

He did not tell them anything without using stories. But when he was alone with his disciples, he explained everything to them.

Now listen to the meaning of the story about the farmer:

Jesus then said: Don't any of you know by now what I am talking about?
