The Parables of Our Lord |
|
The limits between parable, simile, and metaphor are not strictly defined.
Often there is scarcely any difference. In a technical sense the word
parable ordinarily signifies a complete, howbeit imaginary, story. But
etymologically the word signifies the placing of two or more objects
together for the sake of comparison. In a wider sense the public preaching
of our Lord assumed the general characteristic of speaking in parables. "All
these things spake Jesus unto the multitudes in parables; and without a
parable spake He not unto them," Matt. 13:34. The following list is
submitted with the explanation that it does not confine itself to parables
in the strictly technical sense and that it does not exhaust the parabolic
sayings of our Lord. |
