Growth Why did Jesus ask questions after parables?

[MalcolmTotos]

Evaluation is very important after explaining, comparing and applying the new thoughts.

Jesus did it in a way understandable to common people. He evaluated the listeners' knowledge so that they can create new works based on this understanding.

Some academic researches reflect this, as below:

Hi MalcolmTotos and welcome to CF

Jesus used parables in Matthew 13 as illustrations of comparisons to bring about a certain point He was making. At the end of each one He also gave an explanation.

Why did He use parables, because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given, Matthew 13:11; John 3:12.

One way to give an answer is by asking another question. Jesus did this to make them think and consider what was important.
