Allegorical parables

[Jim_Baur]

Here are two examples of allegorical parables: 1. Nathan and David. 2. The lady that washed Jesus face with her tears–those who are forgiven much love much, Luke 7.

I need help in compiling a list of parables that Jesus used that are like the two that I mentioned. I would suspect that the Good Shepherd in one also.

Please help, thank you!

I heard the Good Samaritan:

The man is Adam, the robbers, the demons. Their assault, the fall.

The Levi and other Jewish guy show that the Old Law cannot save the man.

The Samaritan is the Christ. The Oil and Wine symbolize the Sacraments.

The InnKeeper is the Pope, the Inn, the Church. [He has KEYS to all the Rooms]

Jesus will pay back all merit in indulgences, etc, when He “comes back”.
