Excerpt from The Parables of Jesus

In the New Testament, the term parable (greek parabole, a placing beside or Opposite, comparison) is likewise used in different senses. Sometimes it stands for type or symbol (ag Heb. Ix. But it is most extensively used to denote a real or fictitious history related more or less in detail, and intended as the vehicle of some moral or religious truth. Sometimes, instead of a history, a similitude in the form of a simple natural phenomenon the budding of the fig-tree, Matt. Xxiv. Or some image from everyday life the man allotting to his servants their various duties before he sets out for another country, Mark xiii. 34) serves the same purpose and receives the name of parable.
