33With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.
34He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
Focused Passage
Mark 4:33-34
The Mystery of the Kingdom: Hearing, Fruitfulness, and the Lord over the Storm
Mark 4 moves from Jesus' parable of the sower to the mystery of the kingdom, from warning about hearing to promises of hidden growth, from small beginnings to great kingdom outcome, and finally from kingdom teaching to a storm where the disciples must learn who Jesus is.
