PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN A parable is a story designed to teach one central truth or to answer a question. It should not be treated as an allegory with a one to one correspondence. In order to accomodate the allegorical extreme of the parable we divide the parables into three groups 1. The Story Parables Example: The Lost Son & Loving Father (Luke 15:11-32) 2. Similitude Parables: The similitude is more like an illustration taken from everyday life. Example “The kingdom of heaven is like,” it is saying that the kingdom of heaven is illustrated by the following situation. Matthew 13:44 (note Matt.13:31 - “Another parable he put forth to them”), “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” 3. Allegory, Metaphor: Parables are not supposed to be treated as allegories. However even Jesus himself presents a story calling it a parable and then interpreted it as an allegory. For example, in the parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13:24-30), 95
PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN Jesus explains the details in verses 36-43: • The One who sows the seed = the Son of Man • The field = the world • The good seeds = the sons of the kingdom • The tares = the sons of the wicked one • The enemy = the devil • The harvest = the end of the age • The reapers = the angels Ordinarily we should not interpret the details of a parable in this way, but in this case we have the authority of Jesus Christ Himself to do so. 96
