The Parables of Jesus

What is a parable? A parable in the Bible is a short, simple story that illustrates a moral or spiritual lesson, often using everyday situations to convey deeper truths about God's kingdom. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, parables hold a significant place as a method of conveying profound spiritual truths through simple, relatable accounts. The term "parable" is derived from the Greek word "parabole," meaning "to place beside" or "to compare." Parables are illustrative accounts that use everyday events and objects to reveal deeper moral and spiritual lessons. Jesus employed parables extensively in His ministry, as recorded in the Synoptic Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
