'Parables' in the Bible

So He called them to Himself and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan drive out Satan?

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

As soon as He was alone, those who were around Him, together with the twelve [disciples], began asking Him about [the interpretation of] the parables.

Then He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand and grasp the meaning of all the parables?
