BACK TO THE EVENTS--INDEX

Parables of Jesus refers to a series of narratives attributed to Jesus of Nazareth in the gospels and early Christian tradition.

Nativity of Jesus -> Jesus' Hidden Years -> Ministry of Jesus (Parables of Jesus, Miracles of Jesus) -> Passion of Jesus -> Resurrection of Jesus

Overview

Parables were common and quite popular in ancient teaching. They were short, effective, and easy to remember.

The Synoptics and Thomas preserve Jesus' parables in their more original form. The parables generally focus on the announcement of the coming of the Kingdom of God. In the Gospel of John they become more a vehicle of self-revelation.
