'Illustration' in the Bible

This [illustration of] wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and great it was to me:

He told them many things in parables, saying, “Listen carefully: a sower went out to sow [seed in his field];

Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them,

Jesus gave them this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

Brothers, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to even a human covenant that has been ratified.

This illustration for today indicates that the gifts and sacrifices being offered could not clear the conscience of a worshiper,

He considered God to be able even to raise someone from the dead, and as an illustration, he received him back.

In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord.
