With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 33. This seems to contradict what was said verse 12, that seeing they may not see, and so forth; but we must observe, that parables have more explanations than one, some more easy, whilst others are more difficult to be understood. In parables, the multitude understood the more literal interpretation, whilst Christ explains the more abstruse and hidden sense to his apostles. Hence there is no contradiction in these texts. Nic. de Lyra.
