The Parables in the Synoptic Gospels

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke were all written from the same perspective and probably used some of the same source material for their accounts.

The "Parables" in John

The Gospel of John does not contain the word parable. However, in John 10.6 following Jesus' metaphor of the Good Shepard (John 10.1-5) and in John 16.25,29 following the Women in Travail (John 16.20-24), what is translated as "this figure of speech," is the Greek paroimia meaning "wise saying" or "riddle."

None of the following "parables" take the same form as the parables in the synoptic Gospels, yet Jesus' unique style of teaching is still apparent. These parables then, help to establish the historical continuity between the Gospel of John and the other four.
