Exegesis
The main verb elalēsen {ἐλάλησεν | e-lá-lē-sen} “spoke” is aorist, narrating a completed act of speaking, with the explicit subject ho Iēsous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs} placed after the verb in typical narrative order.
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.
