{How shall we liken?} (P(9373) homoi(9373)(936d)en?) Deliberative
first aorist subjunctive. This question alone in Mark. So with
the other question: {In what parable shall we set it forth?} (en
tini aut(886e) parabol(8869) th(936d)en;). Deliberative second aorist
subjunctive. The graphic question draws the interest of the
hearers (_we_) by fine tact.  Lu 13:18f.  retains the double
question which  Mt 13:31f.  does not have, though he has it in a
very different context, probably an illustration of Christ's
favourite sayings often repeated to different audiences as is
true of all teachers and preachers.
