“And with many such
parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without
a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all
things to his disciples.” Mark 4:33-34
as they were able to
hear it. More was taught to the disciples as they were able to hear and
understand the things concerning the Kingdom. Cf. Matt. 13:11. Most of the crowd did not understand because they
would not want to apply it if they did understand, so Christ waited until He
was alone with His disciples (Mark 4:34)
to explain the meaning of His parables. Referring back to the prophecy from Isa. 6:9-10.
all things See 1 Cor. 3:21-23 where all things were
gifts from God. See 1 Cor. 15:24-28
to see where all things are headed to the Kingdom of God.
2 types of distinct pedagogic methods. Parables to the
public who unable to believe His truth and exposition to the disciples who
received all the things the Father wanted His kingdom residents to understand.
Step by step. Cf. Matt 13:36-53.
