Exegesis
The accusative ten parabolen {τὴν παραβολήν | tḕn pa-ra-bo-lḗn} expresses the content of their inquiry, connecting this private questioning directly to the parable just delivered in public. The overall syntax moves from setting (when He entered the house) to contrast (away from the crowd) to ongoing action (they were asking Him), emphasizing the pattern that Jesus’ parabolic teaching in public is followed by further instruction in private for His disciples.
In context — Mark 7:17
And when He entered into the house away from the crowd, His disciples were asking Him about the parable.
