Parable Notes
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Introduction:
The purpose of this page is to document the meaning of the various New Testament parables. I find it curious that the book of John does not have the parables in it?
The Parables of YAHSHUA
The Lamp on a Stand
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
17For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
