Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this to a second clause that heightens the first by negation: chōris parabolēs {χωρὶς παραβολῆς | chō-rís pa-ra-bo-lês} “without a parable” uses a genitive of separation to express exclusion.
Root and etymology
paraballōpi–alpha–rho–alpha–beta–alpha–lambda–lambda–omega
“to throw beside, to compare”
In context — Matthew 13:34
Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables , and without a parable He did not speak to them.
