Matthew 13:10

Peter answered him, “Explain the parable to us.”

Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”

He summoned them, and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?

He said to them, “To you is given the mystery of God’s Kingdom, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables,

He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

“Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.

When they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,

Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”

Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.

I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

Let’s acknowledge Yahweh. Let’s press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth.”

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;

After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast it out?”

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?”

The multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables.

He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”

When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,

As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately,

He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.

As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,

He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

The high priest therefore asked Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
