A parable is a particular type of teaching method that involves a comparison or use of analogy between two different things. It involves words, used to illustrate and instruct.

A miracle, on the other hand generally involves an action rather than just words. In relation to Jesus' miracles, for example, the miracle was performed to meet a need, often to heal a sick person. Of course, many of Jesus' miracles also illustrate and teach things about Jesus, especially His compassion and divine power, but they are primarily action rather than words.

Why did Jesus often work a miracle just before he told a parable?

A:Many (but not all) of the parables in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were originally taken from the 'Q' document, which does not really have miracles. It was a matter for the authors of inserting the various parables into the material they had copied from Mark's Gospel in such a way as to create a harmonious storyline.
