Mark 7:17
“When he had entered into a house away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the parable.”
What does Mark 7:17 mean?
Jesus's disciples are confused about something he just taught the crowd, so they pull him aside privately to ask for clarification. This moment shows how Jesus welcomed genuine questions from those close to him, and how his followers weren't afraid to admit when they didn't understand something. It reminds us that seeking understanding through honest conversation, especially with those we trust, is a faithful response to confusion rather than something to be ashamed of.
