Mark 4:34

34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

Ver. 34. He expounded ] He read them the riddles, as it were, or untied the knots, επελυε . So, Judges 7:15 , we read of a dream, and the interpretation, or breaking of it. A metaphor from the breaking of a nut to get the kernel.
