mark 4:10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

mark 4:10 And as soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, [began] asking Him [about] the parables.

After this parable is recorded the Evangelist says:

10. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve--probably those who followed Him most closely and were firmest in discipleship, next to the Twelve.
asked of him the parable--The reply would seem to intimate that this parable of the sower was of that fundamental, comprehensive, and introductory character which we have assigned to it (see on Mt 13:1).

mark 4:10 And as soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, [began] asking Him [about] the parables.
