'Parables' in the Bible

So He summoned them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?

He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them:

When He was alone with the Twelve, those who were around Him asked Him about the parables.

He answered them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables

Then He said to them: “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any of the parables?

He would speak the word to them with many parables like these, as they were able to understand.

Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug out a pit for a winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and went away.
