'Parables' in the Bible

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
