PARABLE OF JESUS IN THE BIBLE – Shows the Many Teaching Parables and Scriptures that Jesus taught in the Bible. Why did Jesus Teach in Parables?

Matthew 13:10-17 (NASB) The DISCIPLES asked JESUS, “Why do YOU speak to them in PARABLES?”Jesus answered them, “To you it has been GRANTED to KNOW the MYSTERIES of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but to them it has NOT been GRANTED. For whoever HAS, to him MORE shall be GIVEN, and he will have an ABUNDANCE; but whoever does NOT have, even what he HAS shall be TAKEN AWAY from him. Therefore I SPEAK to them in PARABLES; because while SEEING they do NOT SEE, and while HEARING they do NOT HEAR, NOR do they UNDERSTAND. In their case the PROPHECY of ISAIAH is being fulfilled, which says, ‘You will keep on HEARING, but will NOT UNDERSTAND; you will keep on SEEING, but will NOT PERCEIVE; for the HEART of this people has become DULL, with their EARS they SCARCELY HEAR, and they have CLOSED their EYES, otherwise they would SEE with their EYES, HEAR with their EARS, and UNDERSTAND with their HEART and RETURN, and I would HEAL them.’ But BLESSED are your EYES, because they SEE; and your EARS, because they HEAR. For truly I say to you that MANY PROPHETS and RIGHTEOUS MEN desired to see what you SEE, and did NOT SEE IT, and to HEAR what you HEAR, and did NOT HEAR IT.”

PARABLES – WHY DID JESUS TEACH IN PARABLES?

The first instance of Parables is in Jesus telling the “Parable of the Sower“– ie “the Seed and the Soils.”

In Matthew 13:10-17 (NASB) The DISCIPLES asked JESUS, “Why do YOU speak to them in PARABLES?”Jesus answered them, “To you it has been GRANTED to KNOW the MYSTERIES of the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but to them it has NOT been GRANTED. For whoever HAS, to him MORE shall be GIVEN, and he will have an ABUNDANCE; but whoever does NOT have, even what he HAS shall be TAKEN AWAY from him. Therefore I SPEAK to them in PARABLES; because while SEEING they do NOT SEE, and while HEARING they do NOT HEAR, NOR do they UNDERSTAND. In their case the PROPHECY of ISAIAH is being fulfilled, which says, ‘You will keep on HEARING, but will NOT UNDERSTAND; you will keep on SEEING, but will NOT PERCEIVE; for the HEART of this people has become DULL, with their EARS they SCARCELY HEAR, and they have CLOSED their EYES, otherwise they would SEE with their EYES, HEAR with their EARS, and UNDERSTAND with their HEART and RETURN, and I would HEAL them.’ But BLESSED are your EYES, because they SEE; and your EARS, because they HEAR. For truly I say to you that MANY PROPHETS and RIGHTEOUS MEN desired to see what you SEE, and did NOT SEE IT, and to HEAR what you HEAR, and did NOT HEAR IT.”

From this point on in Jesus’ ministry, when He spoke in Parables, He explained them ONLY to His disciples. But those who had continually rejected His message were left in their spiritual blindness to wonder as to His meaning. He made a clear distinction between those who had been given “ears to hear” and those who persisted in unbelief—ever hearing, but never actually perceiving.

2 Timothy 3:7 (NASB) says they are “Always learning but never able to acknowledge the TRUTH”.

The disciples had been given the gift of Spiritual Discernment by which things of the Spirit were made clear to them. Because they accepted Truth from Jesus, they were given more and more Truth. The same is true today of believers who have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth (John 16:13). He has opened our eyes to the light of truth and our ears to the sweet words of eternal life: Luke 24:44-45, Luke 24:16,31, Acts 9:18, Acts 9:1-31, Acts 16:14. [Excerpt: Got Questions)
