[[Jesus]] often taught using parables. The word is derived from the Greek word [[Παραβολη]] (''[[parabole]]''). ===[[Parables of Jesus]]=== In the [[Gospels]], Jesus is shown to have often taught in parables. These were sometimes stories that make a main point (like the [[Good Samaritan]]), stories that are allegories (like the [[parable of the Sower]]) or simple statements. ==Quotes== ==Links==* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable Wikipedia - Parables] {{returnto}} [[Parables of Jesus]][[Category:Parables of Jesus]]
