There are parables used for teaching throughout the entire Bible, but Jesus, of course, taught by means of them in the new testament. A "parable" is an illustration, often a fictitious comparison with a moral(a spiritual meaning)that teaches a point. Jesus spoke often in parables, as was prophesied at Psalm 78:2 (Matthew 13:34+35)(Mark 4:33+34), because parables effectively reached the hearts of his listeners, drawing those who were seeking the truth(Matthew 13:9+36)(John 6:54, 60-66), and at the same time, confusing or discouraging those who weren't.(Matthew 22:15-21)(Matthew 9:11-13)(Matthew13:13-15). Here are a few examples: (Matthew 21:28+33; Luke 16:1+19)(Matthew 13:47-50)(Matthew 21:18-22)
