Parables and metaphors and analogies

[wifeNmom.02]

Did Jesus always explain himself to those who did not understand his parables metaphors and analogies? Or did he sometimes leave some confused or believing him in the wrong way?
I *really * would like some help on this!!

Jesus taught the people in parables, and in no other way did he teach them. Read the parable of the sower, and the explanation he gave to the apostles, and his reasons for not giving the full explanation to the crowd.

 

[Jim_Baur]

Parable of the “Sower” gives some great insights for understanding some basic teachings.

Jesus explains thorns. Can you hear Genesis?

Jesus explains the birds that pick up the seeds.

Use the parables in conjunction with other Biblical teachings.

The man was going down to Jericho, a sinful city.

He was traveling away from Jerusalem, a holy city.

He was stripped of his clothing.

They took his truth, faith, chastity, love, and almost took his salvation.

Ephesians 6: 10-17 gives a short list of the clothing we received in baptism.

Ephesians 6: 10-17 gives biblical definition for sword and other ideas.
