Parables part 1 Tuesday Night with worksheet

Oh, fly away, oh fly away, oh fly away, oh fly away, oh fly away.

Woo!

When was the drunkard's pride?

When was the drunkard's pride?

The summer sweet, I've been letting down.

So better let a hallelujah sound down.

We're living for our own mysteries.

God just feels the melody.

It's beautiful to mess me up, the honest prize of bringing home.

Better than a hallelujah.

I'm still trying to work through these two big bags of candy, so.

And get on to something different, because I like variety.

Okay, so you can already see if you're good, if you got your worksheet coming around.

Let me touch base on worksheets real quick.

So we do a worksheet every Tuesday night.

Once you have seven, you get a prize from RJ.

If you're a teenager, once you have eight, you get a prize from my prize bin.

Once you have 13, you get lunch.

I'm down to just a few people who have 13, who have told me that they have 13, that I have not gotten them lunch yet.

So it's 13 completed worksheets.

I have 14.

Yep, I got Jason.

All right, so seven is a prize from RJ if you're a teenager.

Eight is a prize from me, anybody that comes to our prize bucket.

And then 13, I take you to lunch.

26, I take you to dinner.

And then it starts over.

So if you get eight, seven, you get a prize from RJ.

Eight, prize from me, like that.

Only teenagers get the prize from RJ, so sorry adults on that one.

All right, so we're going to talk about parables.

So there is some confusion in and amongst us even, but everywhere in the world about what a parable actually is.

And over the next, I don't know, it's probably going to take us a couple months until we get into Christmassy type season.

We're going to talk about parables, and then we're going to go through a bunch of significant parables,

some of which you'll be a little bit surprised about.

You would think that, like, oh, I don't really think that's even a parable, but after you had this lesson today, then you'll understand it better.

Okay, so we're going to talk about what a parable is.

And so the typical or very simple definition of a parable is what?

Does anybody have one?

Your own opinion of what?

Just tell me what.

Okay, a what?

Okay, very simple.

A story that teaches a lesson.

From a Christian point of view, it might be like a heavenly story that tells an earthly lesson or something like that.

But it's, yeah.

So in the upper right hand corner of the page, you see two S's.

Anybody guess what's in the blanks?

Short story.

Short story.

That's right.

So a parable tends to be a short story.

But as we're going to see, it's a lot more than just that.

It can be a lot more than just that.

Okay.

But what everybody always thinks of it as is a short story.

Okay.

And then there's kind of a bigger fancy word that starts with an A.

I'm going to take a stab at that.

Joshua?

Anybody?

Ah, it starts with an A.

Okay, the word is allegory.

Allegory.

Okay.

A-L-L.

It's almost like it sounds all A-G-O-R-Y.

A-L-L-A-G-O-R-Y.

Allegory.

A-L-L-A-G-O-R-Y.

I believe, yes.

I'm 90% sure it's an A.

But if it's an E, we'll fix it.

See, spelling isn't all that important.

Instead, it's the word is what's really important.

All right.

So an allegory just means that everything represents something else.

If you go down, just hold.

Remember where we're at.

We just finished that.

Now go down to the right-hand corner and you see the word again.

Is it an E?

Okay.

So take your pen and mark out the A.

Okay.

And put an E in there because I misspelled it.

That's okay.

Down the bottom right-hand corner now, you see the word allegory, but it's spelled with

an A in the middle.

Instead of putting an A in the middle, put an E in the middle.

I have no problem with admitting I misspelled that.

I still like it the other way actually better, but it's wrong.

So what am I going to do?

Okay.

All right.

And so now we're going to talk just briefly about what allegory is.

And when we're talking about allegory and you see the letter F for the first word, what

do you think that is?

Under allegory in the bottom right-hand corner.

Signs?

Nope.

So it's under allegory.

Got to pay attention, man.

We jumped from the top to the bottom.

We'll go back up there in a minute.

No.

Figurative.

Another big word.

F-I-G-U-R-A-T-I-V, at least I think.

I lost my seventh grade spelling bee on the word angel.

So it's figurative.

And that means that the language doesn't mean exactly what it says, basically.

It means something more or deeper.

So for example, if I say I pet the dog, it's very simple.

I pet the dog, right?

But if you say he was a dog, that's something.

He wasn't literally a dog, right?

Unless he was a dog.

Like say my boyfriend was a dog or my teacher was a dog.

That's kind of mean.

Doesn't mean he was literally a dog.

I wasn't learning from a dog, right?

That's figurative language, calling him a dog.

It really means what?

He's ugly or something like that.

He's disrespectful, something like that.

So figurative language, you say something, but you're kind of submitting something else.

And in allegory, I'm just going to give it to you so we can keep moving.

People, the first P is people, then place, and then you know the next one, right?

OBJ, objects, right?

Very good.

R is represent.

Here's another weird word for you.

Abstract, which is A-B-S-T-R-A-C-T, abstract, or mental.

Anybody want to give me that last word?

I gave you the first C and the N-C.

Say it again.

Oh, that's close.

That's really close.

Nope, that's not it.

Think of it with the mental.

Concepts.

Concepts.

So a concept is something that kind of like stands by itself.

So basically, if you tell a story, you might tell a story about a farmer, but the farmer

actually represents someone else.

He's a person, but you're telling it as if you were representing, so there's a story

about a farmer who takes care of his field and the farmer represents God.

So that's a people representing God, right?

Or a place.

There was a beautiful city with streets of gold.

Well, we know as soon as we hear streets of gold, we start thinking heaven, right?

But you might be describing France.

It didn't literally have streets of gold.

So you might be describing France.

And so the story has people, place, objects.

All of those things can represent abstract or mental concepts.

So they can be like, they weren't literally streets of gold.

They were just wealthy streets.

Bunch of people with wealthiness, for example.

And that's allegory.

So that's what allegory is.

Now go back up to where it says allegory on the top.

We've defined it.

We have a parable, short story, allegory, and it says it aims to...

Okay, it's teach, but it's actually illustrate.

All right, because instruct and teach would pretty much be the same thing.

So it aims to illustrate or teach.

So you might have already have the principle of something.

You understand what I'm talking about.

I understand what I'm talking about.

And now you just want to explain it better, make it clear.

That's called illustrating.

Okay, so the parable might be to illustrate something that we already kind of know,

but we question whether it's true or not, we don't understand how it works,

so we need to know something about it.

Or it might be to teach something new,

a concept that the person doesn't have.

Okay, so let's just make sure we're caught up because I did it in a confusing way.

I know I did.

So we got short story.

It's an upper right-hand corner, short story, allegory, aims to illustrate or teach.

Illustrate is I-L-L-U-S-T-R-A-T-E, probably, or teach.

Okay, and then under the allegory, we filled that part down in on the bottom,

in the bottom right-hand corner, just the definition of what allegory is.

And it's figurative people, place, objects, represent, abstract, or mental concepts.

Now again, we're just talking generally about what a parable is.

We're going to get more specific, get it down to biblical standards here in a minute.

What?

Okay, I was just recapping.

Okay, so now we're going over under the word parable, and you've got a sentence under the word parable.

It's really more of a phrase because it technically doesn't have a verb or a noun in the proper place.

Okay, so these are often.

The first word is often.

Yep, used, often used to, very good.

You can teach a lesson from here on out if you want.

I'm just kidding.

Often used to, to seize.

It's a story.

Create.

Nope.

Communicate.

I know, I was the shortest line for communicate.

You could do convey.

Yep, convey would fit there better.

Communicate or convey, I feel like convey is shorter.

Complex.

There is no T, it's not complexed.

People always say that, but it's not.

It's complex.

Ideas.

Ideas, very good.

In a.

It is way.

Simple.

Way, simple, right.

Simple way.

Very good.

So it's often used to communicate complex ideas in a simple way.

It's hard for people to understand things like charity, love, kindness.

In the world today, if you go out in a normal place like school, the marketplace, workplace,

whatever, you may not find love, charity, or kindness.

Like you might be walking around going like.

I don't go to restaurants anymore.

Yeah, you might be walking around like you never see.

Not on the pickleball court, we discovered that.

I wasn't there, but they discovered that on Tuesday night.

So you might never see those things.

So then you might be talking to somebody and you're trying to explain to them what that means.

And you might use a story to explain to them what that means.

And in the story, you might represent kindness, love or charity with people or actions even that those people did.

Right.

For example, if you say, man, I'm trying to explain to you what love is.

And then you say, well, you know, Jesus loved us so much that he died on the cross for our sins.

Well, that illustrates love.

But Jesus is a real person and that's a real action.

Right.

So he was loving us while he did that, but you can use it to illustrate.

Right.

But you see there when you use Jesus, that's not really technically a parable, is it?

Unless it is by another definition.

And we're going to talk about that in a minute.

All right.

So the next thing.

So what you wrote there was often used to communicate complex ideas in a simple way.

And the next thing down, that word there.

And I gave you the pronunciation is parabola.

That's a Greek word.

OK.

So we get our.

Yes, ma'am.

In the what?

No, the first P I haven't given you yet.

I'm just pronouncing the Greek word for you.

I'll get there in a second.

OK.

So it's parabola.

Now, the word that we have for parable comes from this word.

So it didn't exist in English.

Didn't exist in what we call English.

What we call English probably didn't exist, right, because it's such a mishmash mess.

Right.

What we when we talk, it's such a mess of things.

So it came from the Greek into the Latin and it was kind of like a parabola.

And then it went into the English as a parable.

OK.

So that's where we get our word from.

So there was no previous word for it in what we call our language, which means when it was used, then tells us more about what it means than when it's used now.

Does that make sense?

So people use it now to say, well, I'm telling a parable.

And the truth is, when people talk about parables, the only time we use them commonly is talking about Jesus telling a parable.

Right.

Have you ever said, well, I met my friend Bob yesterday or whoever his name was, and we talked for a while and he told me a parable.

Nobody does that.

They might tell you a story that has a meaning or they might give you a but almost nobody uses that word in common usage anymore.

Its usage was a lot more common back when the church was especially in Europe when the church was a lot more common.

OK.

But the point is it is a real word and it comes to us from this.

So what we need to do is look at what the word was to define the word that we have, which is parable.

OK.

So what this is what it was.

This is the definition when we see in the Bible and we even see some examples.

And that's what's going to be the most of the rest of our lesson.

OK.

So the first thing it was was a proverb.

OK.

A parable was a proverb.

So that P there is proverb.

Now in the middle of your Bible, you have the Book of Proverbs.

OK.

And so if you pick out a single proverb out of that book, you could rightly say it's a parable.

So any one of them, any one of the proverbs.

Now not a whole chapter necessarily, especially its unrelated pieces or things like that.

Not a whole chapter.

But if you just pick one, there is a way that seems right unto a man, but leads to death.

That's a proverb.

But they would have called it a parable.

Understand.

So we have the word proverb.

There is another we are another word that would be only translated as proverb.

But this word that's translated parable is translated could be translated as a proverb.

And I'll show you that in the text before we're done.

OK.

And then it could be it also could be a full blown allegory.

OK.

So that's what's next.

Full blown allegory, which is we already talked about a figurative story.

People, places, objects represent abstract or mental concepts.

It could be that.

OK.

So it could be a proverb or a full blown allegory.

Including a riddle.

It could be a riddle.

So this word parabola could be a riddle.

So you say, hey, I got a riddle for you.

Or you could say, hey, I got a parable for you.

That would be the same thing.

So you got to tell her like, why did the chicken cross the road?

You know, or I just heard one about that recently.

Why did the French fries cross the road?

To get to the other sides.

To get to the other sides.

Because French fries are a side.

OK.

Anyway, so that was a parable.

Not a very good one, but it was a parable.

All right.

Proverb full blown allegory, including a riddle.

And then it could be a dark saying.

A dark saying.

Does anybody know what I mean when I say a dark saying?

I mean, it could be about that, but it doesn't have to be in order to be right.

Or some of the proverbs.

Yeah, no.

That would be dark, yes.

But this would be like.

Some of the proverbs.

Or some of the proverbs about suffering.

Here's one.

You too shall.

Go ahead.

A dark saying.

Yep.

You too will go to hell unless you repent.

Right?

That's a dark saying.

Unless you repent and turn to the Lord, you too will go to hell.

And that's an example of a parable.

Right?

By the biblical definition of the word.

Because the Bible has the word parabole in the cases where Jesus is talking.

He says parable.

That's the word.

In fact, there's one in there where the word parabole is actually.

We'll see it before we're done.

There's actually translated proverb.

But it was the word parabole.

It was actually.

So we see that it can be used in these different ways.

Okay.

And it could be an illustration.

Or a contrast.

Just simply a contrast between two things.

Or lastly, a story.

Okay.

Now this is where it gets a little bit fun and practical.

We're actually going to read some Bible verses.

Does anybody want to read?

Do you feel like reading a Bible verse?

Going once.

R.J. will.

R.J., you take Luke 4.23.

Emily, do you have a Bible with you?

Okay.

You can use mine.

Or you can use Jason's on his phone.

Either one would be fine.

So it's going to be Mark 3.23 is the verse you're going to read.

Do we have another volunteer?

We need two more actually before we're through.

All right.

Alicia.

Mark 13.28.

What was it?

What?

23.

4.23.

Jason, you'll have the last one.

What was M's verse?

M's was Mark 3.23.

Jason's, yours is Luke.

Well, you better let somebody else take it if you're going to have hers.

Okay.

All right.

Luke 18.2 to 5 is the other one then.

All right.

Okay.

So we had Luke 4.23.

R.J.?

Yes.

Okay.

So now to remember our definitions of parabolae that come out of the Bible and listen for

it in this verse.

That's the whole goal of this exercise.

We're going to listen for the parable in this verse.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Nice and loud.

He said to them, no doubt you will quote this proverb to me, physician, heal yourself.

When whatever we heard was done at…

Is it?

Capernaum.

Capernaum.

You'll hear in your hometown as well.

Okay.

So did you hear the word parabolae in there?

It was translated as proverb.

So Jesus said, no doubt you will quote to me this proverb, this parabolae.

That's the word.

Okay.

And it is heal yourself.

All right.

And you can put that in there if you want.

It goes right under Luke 4.23, heal yourself.

That is a poorly drawn kind of… it's not too terrible actually.

It was presented to the old doctor, old medical symbol back in the day.

Okay.

And then you notice I put the word proverb down there.

So what we just learned is according to the Bible, according to the way the Bible was

crafted, the Bible was written, the original text, a parable can be a proverb.

Understand?

So that's not our definition now.

We just got that definition directly from God's Word.

So when you're talking to somebody and they say, they tell you… I'll give you an example.

What's another example of the early bird gets the worm.

Okay.

Which is an old… it's a proverb.

It's not a biblical proverb, but it is a proverb.

Okay.

So it's also a what?

A parable.

So you could call it a parable if you wanted to.

And then somebody will say, no, no, that's not a story Jesus told.

No, no, no.

I don't mean that.

The actual definition of what a parable is would include what you just said to me.

Okay.

But I understand that's not from the Bible.

So, all right.

So that was, heal yourself, the proverb.

Okay.

And now we're going to the right and we're going to hear Mark 3.23.

Got it, Emily?

Nice and loud.

And he called out that to himself and he gets the parable.

Parables.

That's Satan, that's Satan.

Okay.

So that translation that she just read from actually translated the word parables as parables.

But then what did he do?

What was he actually doing?

He started speaking them into parables and then what did he do?

He asked them a question.

That could have an answer.

He might know the answer, but that's called a riddle.

Right?

So what he did was, I'm going to speak to you in parables.

Here's a riddle for you.

He said, I'm going to cast out Satan, cast out Satan.

And they were accusing him of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub or Satan rather than doing it by the power of God.

Right?

So that is the word parable A being used to represent a riddle.

And now you've got a biblical definition that includes proverbs and riddles.

Okay, now we're going.

Okay.

So we have Luke 18, 2 to 5.

No, Mom has Mark 13, 28.

Okay.

All right.

And speaking of which, this is Mark 13, 28.

Now learn the parable from the fig tree.

When its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

Okay.

So this is a parable, but it's not a story.

It's not even figurative language.

Right?

So there's no, it's just a simple illustration.

And so we see that a parable can be a simple illustration.

That is a pretty good representation of a fig tree, by the way.

They grow a lot like bushes and they have an oval leaf.

Okay.

All right.

You ready, Jason?

Luke 18, 2 to 5.

Okay.

Okay.

Then, so what is he doing there?

He's telling a story, but he's contrasting her with somebody.

And a little later, I may have had him stop just a little too soon.

Yeah.

I'll read after that.

It says, hear what the unrighteous judge said, now shall not God bring about justice for his elect who cry to him day and night?

And will he delay long over them?

I tell you that he will bring about justice for them speedily.

However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?

So this was a contrast between that judge and God.

He wasn't saying that judge was like God, right?

He's saying the opposite.

He's saying that judge is completely different than the way God is.

She kept begging him and he kept delaying, and finally he said, fine, she's going to weary me to death if I don't give in to her.

God said, it's not like that with God.

Jesus said, it's not like that with God.

Rather, pray to God and he will answer.

He will bring justice.

And when Jesus comes again, finally, he said, well, I find faithfulness on the earth.

Okay.

So the point of that parable, the message there is to pray and don't pray and do not lose heart.

That's what Jesus was telling them to do.

Realize that God will bring justice.

Okay.

And we just got a little summary.

And then we're going to go over the whole thing just for a second.

So we make sure we understand what we learned.

All right.

What was the thing that I need to say?

Pray and do not lose heart.

That's what the purpose of that contrast between the wicked judge and God was about.

That we should pray and do not lose heart.

Okay.

So now we've got a broad meaning.

You see the number one there?

We have a broad biblical meaning for the word parable.

It is any unusual or striking speech, any dark saying meant to stimulate thought.

Okay.

So that's one possibility.

That is the broadest meaning.

So you could do a riddle.

You could do a quick jab.

You could do a quote from an Old Testament verse.

You could do a story where things represent something different.

You could just illustrate one thing to another, whatever.

And all of that would be included in there.

Then there's a second definition.

All right.

Which is any story with two levels of meaning.

Literal and figurative.

So when you talk about Jesus' parables, that is definitely talking about,

he tells a parable, he realizes like the common man is going to get one definition.

But Christians are going to get a better understanding.

He would explain the parables to his disciples after everybody else kind of went away.

Right.

And he even, a couple of them, he said, if you can't understand,

well, with the parable of the sower, for example, he said,

if you can't understand this parable, how will you get all the rest?

Right.

So the parables are really important.

In other words, if you can't understand the parable of the sower,

you may not be able to understand dark sayings, riddles, illustrations, contrasts, stories, whatever.

So at some point we will look at the parable of the sower, but we're not there yet.

So first is a broad meaning.

Any unusual or striking speech, any dark saying that's meant to stimulate thought.

Secondly, there is a little more specific meaning.

It is any story with two levels of meaning.

A literal level and a figurative level.

And then there is a third definition that's being used a lot today in the world.

And we'll talk about that next week.

All right.

So we're going to stop right there for a minute before we do questions,

before I ask questions and throw candy.

Okay.

Does anybody have any questions or do you understand the four parables that we looked at?

Remember, the first one was a proverb, the second one was a riddle,

the third one was a simple illustration, and the fourth one was a contrast.

But do you kind of understand them?

They were, I'll give you the first one, they were accusing Jesus of not being able to do miracles.

They said they didn't believe he could do miracles.

But he had already done a ton of miracles.

Okay.

And then he said to them, well you probably say to me, physician, heal thyself.

Work all the miracles here that you worked over there.

But that's not why Jesus came.

Jesus came to save souls.

He didn't come to heal every single blind man, every single paralytic, every single diseased person,

whatever, he did a ton of that.

He did a ton of healing people.

But he really came to save souls.

There's a particular story where Jesus gets up really early in the morning and he's out in the woods

and he's praying and talking to God.

And the disciples wake up and all around the house where they were staying,

all these people came to be healed.

Tons and tons of people came to be healed.

They're all waiting.

And the disciples get up and they're like, oh, we can't heal all these people.

We need Jesus.

And so they go looking for Jesus and they find him in the woods.

And Jesus said, or first they say to Jesus, all the people are looking for you and we found you,

which is profound.

So they found Jesus in the woods.

So let's go back so we can heal all the people.

Jesus said, no, no.

We're going to go over here and preach the gospel.

We're going to go over here and tell the poor and the sick and the hurting,

tell everybody who will listen about God and how God loves them and how God wants to save them.

That's what he said they were going to do.

And they're like, but all these people, they need to be healed.

He says, but I didn't come to heal all those people.

I came to tell people about salvation.

Will there be sickness in the earth?

There's going to be sickness in the earth until the day Jesus comes again.

It's always going to be sickness.

Does God want to heal?

Yes.

Can he?

Yes, he does.

And sometimes he does heal miraculously, but he's not going to heal.

He doesn't heal everybody every single time.

Right.

So that's what that proverb was about.

Jesus was saying, you say that to me if you want.

But the reality is I came for so much more than just to heal everybody.

Okay.

And then they were saying he was casting out demons by power of Satan.

And he said, well, how can Satan cast out Satan?

That doesn't make any sense.

Right.

And that was the riddle for them.

And then they couldn't answer.

And so then that handled that situation.

And then there's the illustration of the fig tree.

When the fig begins to bloom on the fig tree, you know it's time, getting time to pick the figs.

Right.

And he was saying, and here I am in front of you doing miracles and telling you about God.

And you're missing the fact that it's time.

It's time to repent.

It's time to turn back to God.

And then the last one was the contrast between the wicked judge and Jesus and God.

And that showed how God will not delay.

He will bring justice.

And ultimately he will bring ultimate justice.

And the question is when God brings that ultimate justice, where will you stand?

Will you be faithful to God?

When Jesus comes again to check and see if ever, who's faithful and who's not, will you be found faithful?

And that's what Jesus was asking.

Okay.

So I just went over all four of them again for you.

All right.

So here we go.

We're going to ask some questions.

See how we do.

All right.

You ready?

Got your work in front of you.

Okay.

It's going to go kind of fast.

All right.

Okay.

So who, a teenager that can pronounce parable in Greek that can pronounce it.

Jason, go.

Parable.

All right.

I'll give it to you.

Ready?

Coming at you.

Got one there.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

So when a parable or a parable is a question, the word parable would actually be translated

as this.

What is it?

A riddle.

A riddle is correct.

Very good.

Coming back at you.

You're in the light of fire.

You're in the light of fire too, apparently.

She's like, I didn't do it.

I was just sitting here.

Okay.

All right.

Let's see.

Which book of the Bible does the Jesus contrast the wicked judge to God?

Haley.

Say it again.

No, it is not Mark.

Luke is correct.

Sorry.

These are the ones that kind of sail a little bit.

They're not very easily thrown, except for the little warhead things.

Okay.

So as far as the kind of worldly or broad definition, let's go Natalie.

I'm going to ask you directly.

Are you ready?

Okay.

So a parable is considered to be a story that aims to blank and blank.

What are they?

Correct.

I was actually pretty good.

You could have caught that.

All right.

Okay.

Easy question.

First answer.

First one to get it.

What kind of tree?

Big.

Who said that?

Big.

All right.

Very good.

She's like leaning in.

Hey, she caught them both.

That's pretty impressive.

Okay.

Okay.

Finish this proverb.

Physician.

What?

Feel thyself.

Josh got it.

Coming at you, Josh.

Ready?

These are a little bit easier.

Why?

Physician.

What?

It was close.

Okay.

When Jesus was accused of casting out demons by the power of Satan, he asked this riddle.

What was it?

How can Satan cast out Satan?

All right.

Is that what you were going to say, Hailey?

All right.

Are you ready, Sam?

I am ready.

What does this one really do?

It doesn't like them.

It doesn't like Twizzlers.

It doesn't like Twizzlers?

Seriously, it defied chocolate.

Well, this is not the chocolate bag.

It's the chocolate bag.

She's going to dodge everything I throw to her anyway.

Okay.

Let's see.

Hannah, spell allegory.

Correct.

Correctly.

That is correct.

Not like Pastor Dan would have spelled it, but.

Okay.

Hannah, spell allegory.

Correct.

Correct.

Correct.

Correct.

That is correct.

I think that A looks better, too.

Whatever.

It doesn't matter because I'm just wrong.

Okay.

All right.

What's that?

She asked why it was so dark outside because it's late September.

Yeah.

The clock has not fallen back yet, and that probably won't last for long either.

Okay.

All right.

Kishon, by the parable of the wicked judge and contrasting the wicked judge to God, Jesus

was telling them not to do what?

It's on the page.

You got to.

Okay.

Correct.

Not lose heart.

All right.

I feel like I'm going to do one deep one here.

Let's see.

Okay.

I'm going to do a whole... Let's see.

Big old scoop of candy one time.

All right.

Put your paper down, and I'll give this scoop of candy to anybody that can name the four

types of parable that we looked examples at.

All right.

You can only get one shot at it.

Jason, go.

Four types?

Four types.

Crab herbs?

Yep.

A dog saying no.

Nope.

What?

Next.

Haley.

Go.

If she blows it, you're up, Chris.

I said if.

Proverb is right.

You need three more.

Don't look at your worksheet.

Jason, you can't answer now anyway.

Emily, don't look at his worksheet.

Contrast?

Contrast is one.

You got two.

You need two more.

Oh, somebody's cheating.

I heard cheating.

Last one.

No.

The story is incorrect.

Chris, can you do the last one?

Then you can divide this candy out amongst your heard.

However you want.

Just the room.
