And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow.
but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”
But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.
