What is a Parable?

A parable is not an allegory, in which words are used figuratively. Neither is it a proverb (a statement of fact with no tale at all) or a fable (fantasy in which fairies flutter and animals talk) (Copied from my King James Study Bible)

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary it’s: a short story that teaches a moral or spiritual lesson; especially : one of the stories told by Jesus Christ and recorded in the Bible

Yeshua’s Use Of Parables

Matthew 13:34-35

34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them. 

35 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.


Below is a list of parables that Jesus spoke in the Bible. I have used My King James (KJV) Study Bible for all verses posted on my blog and any verse links are to the Online King James Bible.
