PARABLES: Similitude:
illustration {Matthew 13:3}, comparison {Mark
"He answered and said unto them, Because it
is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to
them it is not given. {12} For whosoever hath, to him shall be
given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken away even that he hath. {13} Therefore speak
I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing
they hear not, neither do they understand. {14} And in them is
fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear,
and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall
not perceive: {15} For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed;
lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their
ears, and should understand with their heart, and should
be converted, and I should heal them. {16} But blessed are your
eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. {17}
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have
desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them;
and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard
them"{Matthew 13:11-17}
"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." {Matthew 13:34-35}
