There are only two parables that appear in all three of the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke). Perhaps you can name one... but can you name both (without looking it up?)

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

wups - I should have been clearer: two "extended" parables -- longer than a few verses.
So: Soil/Sower is correct; Wicked Tenants is also correct. But Mustard Seed is also correct, given my original question...
Followup: How do we understand the parable of the Wicked Tenants? Is it more than a historical commentary? If so, why would it feature so significantly in the gospels? If not, what does it mean to us?

Personally, I see it as symbolic to how God sent the prophets and other godly people throughout history to bring people to Him, and then even sent His own Son, but people still didn't choose God.

Fair enough -- that's a good interpretation... what might you think of this application:

Oh yes: Mr. O was also correct that the new wine and old skins is also in all three synoptic gospels. (but that's a puzzling one:
New Wine and Old Wineskins
)
