WHICH NEW TESTAMENT CHAPTER HAS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF PARABLES FROM JESUS? THE ANSWER IS MATTHEW 13 WHICH RECORDS EIGHT OF THEM!
THE FIRST FOUR PARABLES OF JESUS IN MATTHEW 13 ARE THE SOWER (VERSES 3 - 23), THE TARES (24 - 30), THE MUSTARD SEED (31 - 32) AND HIDDEN LEAVEN (VERSE 33). THE LAST FOUR ARE TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD (VERSE 44), THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE (45 - 46), THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS LIKE A NET (47 - 50) AND THE HOUSEHOLDER (VERSE 52).
INTERESTINGLY, SIX OF MATTHEW 13'S EIGHT PARABLES ARE UNIQUE TO HIS GOSPEL! THIS ALSO MAKES THE CHAPTER THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF UNIQUE PARABLES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
