The Parables of Jesus

Parable is derived from the Greek word “parabole” meaning a likeness
or comparison. A parable uses something familiar and compares it to
something not so familiar. Jesus used parables to teach important,
timeless lessons, and to illustrate the kingdom of God.

Psalms 78:1-2
O My people, hear My teaching;
Listen to the words of My mouth. l open My mouth in parables.

Matthew 13: 34-35
Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables;
and without a parable He did not speak to them,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things
which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
