1 | Does Luke 16 use the term 'parable'? | Luke 16:23 | Morant61 | 86040 | ||
Greetings Goodnewsminister! In the example that you cite from Matt. 13, notice the pattern. Mt. 13:3 - "Then he told them many things in parables, saying: 'A farmer went out to sow his seed." Mt. 13:24 - "Jesus told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field." Mt. 13:31 - "He told them another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field." Mt. 13:33 - "He told them still another parable: 'The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.'" Mt. 13:34 - "Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable." There are more, but this should suffice. Each parable is identified as being a parable. Where in Luke 16 is the account of Lazarus and the Rich man called a parable? Notice also that Mt. 13:34 refers to 'these things', the things Jesus was currently speaking to the crowd. Mt. 13:34 does not provide justification for saying that everything Jesus said to a crowd at anytime was also a parable. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Does Luke 16 use the term 'parable'? | Luke 16:23 | goodnewsminister | 87820 | ||
I must disagree with you here, Brother Moran, as the Pharisee were present in the Luke 16 and we know that Jesus did not reveal truth to them, but He always used parables when speaking to the people in the presence of the religious crowd of His day. However, you are entitled to your understanding of this and I respect your view. In Him, The Good News Minister |

3 | Does Luke 16 use the term 'parable'? | Luke 16:23 | Morant61 | 87846 | ||
Greetings Good News Minister! On what basis do you makde the statement that Jesus only spoke in parables in the presence of the religious leaders? There are many times Jesus spoke quite plainly to the religious leaders. Consider Mt. 23:2-8! In this passage, there is no parable, yet Jesus is speaking to the Pharisees! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
