THE PARABLES OF JESUS
There are forty one Parables of Jesus recorded in the Gospels of which Luke has the largest number, being twenty eight, followed by Matthew and Mark. John does not record any of the Parables of Jesus. We are going to read all of them, in a way that gives us the chance to review how each Gospel writer depicts them for his own individual audience. Some Parables consist of just one or two verses. If you have any comments of questions relating to the different versions of the Parable, please share.
