Jesus is teaching there comes a time when we stop talking to another person (or persons) about spiritual things. When is that time? It is time to stop talking to a person about spiritual things when they clearly demonstrate they have no interest in spiritual things. They show themselves to be like dogs and pigs in their lack of capacity to discern what is holy and valuable. This does not mean we reject that person or that we stop praying for them; we just stop talking to them about spiritual things until they’re interested. In our story today, Paul himself will put this parable in practice.
