Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your being, and all your strength. These words that I am commanding you today must always be on your minds. Recite them to your children. Talk about them when you are sitting around your house and when you are out and about, when you are lying down and when you are getting up.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7
A parable is a simple story that teaches and illustrates a spiritual lesson. Jesus told many parables in the Gospels.
The Gospels are in the New Testament of the Bible. Parables are found in Matthew, Mark and Luke. These are the first books of the Bible in the New Testament. Many people were farmers where Jesus told His parables. Many of Jesus’ parables are stories about farming and agriculture. This helped people better understand the lessons in the stories or parables.
