Luke 6:43-45 ""For no fine tree produces rotten fruit, and no rotten tree produces fine fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For example, people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they cut grapes off a thorn bush. A good man brings good out of the good treasure of his heart, but a wicked man brings what is wicked out of his wicked treasure; for out of the heart's abundance his mouth speaks."
The tree in this illustration would be an individual or group of individuals claiming to be God's servants. The fruit would be the words, actions and displays of love that are shown by these individuals or groups of individuals. You would then be able to judge a tree by it's fruit. The individual that is producing fine fruit would be a good tree. A tree not producing any fruit or rotten fruit would be a worthless tree. Jesus made this illustration to help his followers identify false Christians from sincere Christians.
Yes, Luke 16 is a parable.
The parable of the prodigal son in Luke.
The parable of the 'good Samaritan' is found at : Luke 10:30-37
The parable of the greedy farmer is found in the New Testament in the book of Luke, specifically in Luke 12:16-21.
Jesus gives the interpretation of the parable in Luke 8:11ff. I think a good hidden meaning is the seed grew the best in the soil that had been prepared for the seed. If we think of the soil as representing a persons 'heart' then a person must be prepared before receiving God's word.
The parable is in the Gospel of Luke chapter 15
The most famous parable in the bible is, The story of the prodigal son in Luke.

A:Two parables that are unique to Luke are the parable of the Prodigal Son and the parable of the Good Samaritan. Although Luke has the only gospel version, we can not say with certainty that Luke wrote these stories, in the sense of actually creating them.
