John 18 (NIV)
19
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his
teaching.
20
"I have spoken OPENLY to the world," Jesus replied. "I ALWAYS taught in
synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together.
I SAID NOTHING IN SECRET.
Matthew 13
36
Then he LEFT THE CROWD AND WENT INTO THE house. His disciples came to
him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
Now, please explain how teaching something to 12 people in a house is teaching
it openly.
1. Jesus spoke in a parable in public.
2. Even his closest followers did not understand the meaning.
3. He took them aside IN PRIVATE.
4. He explained what it meant.
5. He admiited that he did not teach the meaning publicly.
6. He explained why he didn't teach it publicly.
7. Therefore, he taught the meaning IN PRIVATE that he did not teach IN PUBLIC
admitted it, and even explained why (Mark 4:11).
