Parables
10 Virgins
10 Talents/10 Minas - Luke 19:11-27
Judgement of the Sheep & Goats
The whole of this chapter is very punctual and profound to the point of Christ Jesus’ return. He is painting a picture of an event that is so far ahead of time that the disciples could not yet comprehend...
Faithful & Unfaithful Servants
Matthew 24:42-51
Mark: 13:32-37
Luke: 12:38-48
These parables are the same and speak of Jesus Christ’s Second Advent, but also of His Kingdom and its order.
What I find interesting in Luke is that Peter asks Lord Jesus if He is telling this parable for...
Parable Notes: Matthew 13:24-30
Jesus Christ being the Man and Master who sows good seed - Life - into His Creation; the heart of mankind made after His image.
The enemy being Satan and the Devil who sows destruction that leads to death in the heart of mankind - sin.
The slaves are the ones...
Audience: Disciples, Crowd
Matthew 13:33
Luke 13:20
**Note** Jesus spoke parables to fulfill what was written in Psalms 78:2 which is cross-referenced in Matthew 13:35
Jesus is speaking to His disciples (and the crowd in Luke) about the Kingdom of Heaven/God and how He should compare it...
Audience: Matthew & Mark Jesus’ Disciples. Luke is unknown.
Matthew 24:32-35
Mark 13:28-31
Luke 13:6-9
Matthew and Mark have the same parable while Luke’s seems different in context. In Matthew & mark the parable speaks about the coming season of Christ’s return. In fact, the whole chapter is...
Audience: Jesus’ Disciples, in Mark only 4 are mentioned. In Luke, Peter & the Crowd.
Matthew 24:45-51
Mark 13:32-37
Luke 12:41-48
Note: Be sure to read all chapters for important background and context to see what Jesus is saying.
In Matthew, this reminds me a bit of Joseph back in Genesis...
Audience: Chief Priests, Scribes & Elders
Matthew 21:33-46
Mark 12:1-12
Luke 20:9-19
God created the world and everything in it: Genesis 1:1, John 1:3. Naturally, He is the Master and Owner of all. He chose His nation as His people to spread word about Him (His will for the tenants). He went...
Ask, Seek, Knock
Audience: Disciples
Luke 11:5-13
Matthew 7:7-12
The Unjust Judge is another parable with the same persistence in Luke 18:1-8, even though it is for a different matter, the persistence is the same. Jesus is showing as well as telling us that we should always pray and that...
Audience: Legal Expert
Luke 10:25-37 (Context)
Luke 10:30-36 (Parable)
Our neighbor is anyone who is in need and not to turn a blind eye to. There are many who are in need: elderly, those who fall victim, the poor, etc.
In a very similar way, Christ did exactly that for the whole world...
Audience: Simon, the Pharisee
Luke 7:36-50 (full context)
Luke 7:41-42 (Parable)
“There were two debtors who owed a certain creditor. One owed 500 denarii and other 50. When they were not able to repay him, he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?” - Jesus Christ...
AKA: Hearers and Doers
Audience: Disciples and Crowd
Matthew 7:24-29
Luke 6:46-49
There is so much Truth in this little passage. God knows His creation better than anyone He made, so it’s only fitting that Jesus said this ambiguous teaching of both elements: physical truth and Spiritual...
AKA: Defilement from Within
Audience: Crowd & Disciples
Mark 7:14-23
There are 2 places in the Bible where all food is declared clean: Mark 7:19 & Acts 10:10-29. God sends a single vision to Peter which holds a double meaning (amazing!)
1. Lord Jesus Christ reminds Peter that He has declared...
Sermon on the Plain/Mount
Audience: Disciples & Crowd
Luke 6:37-42
Matthew 7:1-5
***
Paraphrasing:
For someone who is blind to the Truth cannot lead others who are also blind to the Truth, because they will both fall into the pit if they do not first realize something is wrong.

Self Growing Seed
Mark 4:26-29
“The Kingdom of God is like this: Like a man scatters seed on the ground. And he sleeps and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows - he does not know how. By itself the soil produces a crop: first the grass, then the head of grain, then the full...
The Lamp Parable Comprised of Matthew, Mark and Luke
The Audience
Matthew - Sermon on the Mount: Crowd and Disciples
Mark - Disciples
Luke - Disciples
“You are the light of the world. A city located on top of a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light a lamp and place it under a basket, a bed...
The Sower
Matthew 13:1-23
Mark 4:1-20
Luke 8:4-15
Jesus Christ sat on a boat on the water because of the great crowd and there He told them parables. This crowd in particular are outside of God, which is why He told them parables and so they having eyes may not see and those having ears may not...
The world has gone haywire, crashing into one another like waves, in the name of racism. Even self-professing Christians have bought into the mindset of this secular idea of justice. They have abandoned God and His Way for this movement which stands for its father, Satan. Father God stands for...
Parable of A Kingdom Divided:
Mark 3:20-35
Luke 11:14-26
Matthew 12:22-50
Jesus describes two kingdoms at work, and at war as we see in the Bible, but both have something in common. Both kingdoms are whole and not divided against itself to wage war or make peace. This parable should not be...
Today I have a very hurt heart. For a long time I've looked for the Christian family Christ spoke of: Mark 3:35 and I thought I found that, but just today was taken away by ungodly behaviour. It was simply because I wasn't liked, so the story of my life is. I've always been hated be it by family...
New & Old Parable: Mark 2:19-22, Matthew 9:16-17, Luke 5:36-39
For a while I couldn’t figure out why this parable seemed like it came from left field. Reading through its context, I didn’t understand what Jesus Christ was saying to the Pharisees (excluding John’s disciples from one of the...
