GOSPEL READING: MARK 4: 1-20
Jesus spoke in parables and said many things about the kingdom through parables. Naturally the parables are to be understood by the listeners. If they do not understand then the message also does not reach the listeners. The why did Jesus ask them whether they understood the parables. Did mean to make them not understand certain parables?.
By asking this question Jesus was trying to find out whether the understood what he wanted to communicate to them. Certainly they understood some things but did they understand the right things and in the right way. This was Jesus concern. His special tuition for the apostles alone made things clear for them. Parables need right explanations.
இயேசு உவமைகள் வழியாக இறையாட்சியைப் பற்றி போதித்தார். சீடர்கள் எல்லா உவமைகளையும் சரியாக புரிந்து கொள்ளவில்லை. அதனால்தான் இயேசு இவ்வாறு வினவுகிறார். ஒருசில உவமைகளுக்கு சரியான விளக்கங்கள் கொடுக்கப்பட வேண்டும்.
