Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
