In the New Testament, it is often associated with the teaching method of Jesus, who used parables to convey spiritual truths by setting them alongside everyday experiences and objects.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the use of parables and analogies was a common rhetorical device. Teachers and philosophers would often use familiar stories or objects to illustrate complex ideas, making them more accessible to their audience. In Jewish tradition, parables were also a well-established method of teaching, used by rabbis to explain the Torah and ethical teachings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">para</a> and <a href="/greek/906.htm">balló</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to throw beside<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>crossed over (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3846: παραβάλλω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παραβάλλω</span></span>: 2 aorist <span class="greek2">παρέβαλον</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to throw before, cast to</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">παρά</span></span>, <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 1) (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Dio Cassius</span>, others; as fodder to horses, <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Iliad 8, 504). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to put one thing by the side of another</span> for the sake of comparison, <span class="accented">to compare, liken</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Herodian): <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">βασιλείαν</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">παραβολή</span>, to portray the kingdom of God (in), by the use of, a similitude, <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-30.htm">Mark 4:30</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 133, 22). <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> reflexively, <span class="accented">to put oneself, betake oneself</span> into a place or to a person (<span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, (<span class="abbreviation">Diogenes Laërtius</span>); of seamen (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 7, 179; <span class="abbreviation">Demosthenes</span>, p. 163, 4; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">Ποτιόλους</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 18, 6, 4), <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">Σάμον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/20-15.htm">Acts 20:15</a> (<span class="accented">put in at</span> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
