Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

The same thread (this verse)John 16:25
Figures of speech in public and plainness in private is the same pattern Mark describes.
“I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.”
