Why did Jesus speak in parables to his disciples?
In Matthew 13, Jesus explained to His disciples why He spoke in parables to the people, saying, “This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
Why didn’t they simply ask Jesus what he meant?
Why didn’t they simply ask Jesus what he meant? The Bible doesn’t tell us why, but it was probably because they were afraid of looking foolish. (That happens today, too.) But Jesus knew quite well how foolish they were. He chided them for not understanding something that they should have been able to understand.

He chided them for not understanding something that they should have been able to understand. They could remember facts (verses 19-20), but they didn’t draw right conclusions.
