Luke 8:4 Douay-Rheims

And when a very great multitude was gathered together, and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude.

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

And therefore it is significantly said, When much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city. For not many but few there are who walk the strait road, and find the way which leadeth to life. Hence Matthew says, that He taught without the house by parables, but within the house explained the parable to His disciples. (Matt. 13:36.)
