Mark 4:33

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Jesus used many other stories when he spoke to the people, and he taught them as much as they could understand.

See the chapter Copy

Then he taught them many things by using stories. He said: A farmer went out to scatter seed in a field.

But once it is planted, it grows larger than any garden plant. It even puts out branches that are big enough for birds to nest in its shade.

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

I have much more to say to you, but right now it would be more than you could understand.
