And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.
But without a parable He did not speak to them. And when they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.
But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.
Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”
Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.
Then the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”
