Now when Jesus came into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
Then the disciples came and said to him, “Why do yoʋ speak to the people in parables?”
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
Then Peter said to him in response, “Explain this parable to us.”
A few days later Jesus went to Capernaum again, and the people heard that he was at home.
and a crowd came together again, so that Jesus and his disciples could not even eat bread.
When he was alone, those who were around him, along with the twelve, asked him about the parable.
He did not speak to them without using a parable, but privately he explained everything to his disciples.
After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into a house, his disciples asked him about the parable.
But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up, and the boy arose.
He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything except prayer and fasting.”
