Later, when Jesus was alone, the twelve apostles and others around him asked him about the stories.
Spend time with the wise and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suffer.
Then Jesus used stories to teach them many things. He said: “A farmer went out to plant his seed.
Then Jesus left the crowd and went into the house. His followers came to him and said, “Explain to us the meaning of the story about the weeds in the field.”
Jesus said, “You can know the secret about the kingdom of God. But to other people I tell everything by using stories
He always used stories to teach them. But when he and his followers were alone, Jesus explained everything to them.
Then Jesus said, “Let those with ears use them and listen!”
When Jesus left the people and went into the house, his followers asked him about this story.
