Mark Chapter 4, Verse 13
From BibleWiki
13: και λεγει αυτοις ουκ οιδατε την παραβολην ταυτην και πως πασας τας παραβολας γνωσεσθε
13: And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then
will ye know all parables?
13: And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this, parable? and how
shall you know all parables?
Know ye not this parable? This which is so plain and obvious.
How then will ye know all parables? Those which are more difficult and obscure. As they were themselves to be teachers, it was important that they should be acquainted with the whole system of religion -- of much more importance for them at that time, than for the mass of the people.
