TWO OF JESUS' PARABLES ARE REPEATED AT THREE SEPARATE TIMES. THE SALT OF THE EARTH PARABLE WAS FIRST GIVEN DURING HIS FAMOUS SERMON ON THE MOUNT (MATTHEW 5:13). IT WAS THEN TAUGHT IN LATE 29 A.D. WHILE CHRIST WAS IN CAPERNAUM (MARK 9:50). IT WAS FINALLY OFFERED IN EARLY 30 A.D. AFTER HE LEFT CAPERNAUM FOR THE LAST TIME (LUKE 14:34 - 35).
THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD PARABLE WAS ALSO FIRST GIVEN DURING THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (MATTHEW 5:14). IT WAS NEXT TAUGHT (LIKELY) IN LATE 28 A.D. WHILE THE LORD WAS PREACHING TO A CROWD GATHERED ON THE SHORE (MARK 4:21). ITS THIRD APPEARANCE WAS LATE 29 A.D. WHILE HE WAS IN CAPERNAUM (LUKE 11:33).
