παραβολή, ῆς, ἡ (παραβάλλω; Pla., Isocr.+; ins, pap, LXX; En; TestSol 20:4; Just.; Mel., P.—JWackernagel, Parabola: IndogF 31, 1912/13, 262–67)

① someth. that serves as a model or example pointing beyond itself for later realization, type, figure παραβολὴ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τὸν ἐνεστηκότα a symbol (pointing) to the present age Hb 9:9. ἐν παραβολῇ as a type (of the violent death and of the resurrection of Christ) 11:19. λέγει ὁ προφήτης παραβολὴν κυρίου B 6:10, where the mng. may be the prophet is uttering a parable of the Lord (Goodsp.), or the prophet speaks of the Lord in figurative language (Kleist), or the prophet speaks in figurative language given him by the Lord. W. αἴνιγμα PtK 4 p. 15, 31. The things of the present or future cannot be understood by the ordinary Christian διὰ τὸ ἐν παραβολαῖς κεῖσθαι because they are expressed in figures B 17:2.

② a narrative or saying of varying length, designed to illustrate a truth especially through comparison or simile, comparison, illustration, parable, proverb, maxim.

ⓐ in the synoptics the word refers to a variety of illustrative formulations in the teaching of Jesus (in Mt 17 times, in Mk 13 times, in Lk 18 times; cp. Euclides [400 B.C.] who, acc. to Diog. L. 2, 107, rejected ὁ διὰ παραβολῆς λόγος; Aristot., Rhet. 2, 20, 2ff; Περὶ ὕψους 37; Vi. Aesopi II p. 307, 15 Eb.; Biogr. p. 87 Ὁμήρου παραβολαί; Philo, Conf. Lingu. 99; Jos., Ant. 8, 44. The Gk. OT also used παραβολή for various words and expressions that involve comparison, including riddles [s. Jülicher below: I² 32–40].—En 1:2; 3. Cp. π. κυριακαί Iren. 1, 8, 1 [Harv I 67, 1]). For prob. OT influence on the use of comparison in narrative s. Ezk 17. λέγειν, εἰπεῖν παραβολήν: Lk 13:6; 16:19 D; 19:11 (begins the longest ‘parable’ in the synoptics: 17 verses). τινί to someone 4:23 (the briefest ‘parable’: 3 words; here and in the next passage π.=proverb, quoted by Jesus); 6:39; 18:1; 21:29. πρός τινα to someone 5:36; 12:16, 41; 14:7; 15:3; 18:9; 20:9; with reference to someone Mk 12:12; Lk 20:19. παραβολὴν λαλεῖν τινι Mt 13:33. παραβολὴν παρατιθέναι τινί put a parable before someone vss. 24, 31. τελεῖν τὰς παραβολάς finish the parables vs. 53. διασαφεῖν (v.l. φράζειν) τινι τὴν παραβολήν vs. 36. φράζειν τινὶ τὴν παρ. explain the parable 15:15. ἀκούειν Mt 13:18; 21:33, 45. γνῶναι and εἰδέναι understand Mk 4:13b et al. μαθεῖν τὴν παρ. ἀπό τινος learn the parable from someth. Mt 24:32; Mk 13:28. (ἐπ)ἐρωτᾶν τινα τὴν παρ. ask someone the mng. of the parable Mk 7:17 (in ref. to vs. 15); cp. 4:10. Also ἐπερωτᾶν τινα περὶ τῆς παρ. 7:17 v.l.; ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν τίς εἴη ἡ παρ. they asked him what the parable meant Lk 8:9; the answer to it: ἔστιν δὲ αὕτη ἡ παρ. but the parable means this vs. 11.—παραβολαῖς λαλεῖν τινί τι Mk 4:33. W. the gen. of that which forms the subj. of the parable ἡ παρ. τοῦ σπείραντος Mt 13:18. τῶν ζιζανίων vs. 36 (cp. ἡ περὶ τοῦ … τελώνου παρ. Orig., C. Cels. 3, 64, 11).—W. a prep.: εἶπεν διὰ παραβολῆς Lk 8:4 (Orig., C. Cels. 1, 5, 11).—χωρὶς παραβολῆς οὐδὲν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς Mt 13:34b; Mk 4:34.—Mostly ἐν: τιθέναι τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν παραβολῇ present the Reign of God in a parable vs. 30. ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖν τινι Mt 13:10, 13; Mk 12:1. ἐν παραβολαῖς λέγειν τινί Mt 22:1; Mk 3:23. λαλεῖν τινί τι ἐν παραβολαῖς Mt 13:3, 34a. διδάσκειν τινά τι ἐν παραβολαῖς Mk 4:2. ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου Mt 13:35 (Ps 77:2). γίνεταί τινί τι ἐν παραβολαῖς someth. comes to someone in the form of parables Mk 4:11; cp. Lk 8:10. According to Eus. (3, 39, 11), Papias presented some unusual parables of the Savior, i.e. ascribed to Jesus: Papias (2:11).—AJülicher, Die Gleichnisreden Jesu I² 1899; II 1899 [the older lit. is given here I 203–322]; GHeinrici, RE VI 688–703, XXIII 561f; CBugge, Die Hauptparabeln Jesu 1903; PFiebig, Altjüdische Gleichnisse und d.

ⓑ Apart fr. the Syn. gospels, παρ. is found in our lit. freq. in Hermas (as heading: Hs 1:1; 2:1; 3:1; 4:1; 5:1; [6:1; 7:1; 8:1]) but not independently of the synoptic tradition. Hermas uses παρ. only once to designate a real illustrative (double) parable, in m 11:18. Elsewh παρ. is for Hermas an enigmatic presentation that is somet. seen in a vision, somet. expressed in words, but in any case is in need of detailed interpretation: w. gen. of content (s. a above) τοῦ πύργου about the tower Hv 3, 3, 2. τοῦ ἀγροῦ about the field Hs 5, 4, 1. τῶν ὀρέων 9, 29, 4. δηλοῦν τὴν παραβολήν 5, 4, 1a. παρ. ἐστιν ταῦτα 5, 4, 1b. ἀκούειν τὴν παραβολήν v 3, 3, 2; 3, 12, 1; Hs 5, 2, 1. παραβολὰς λαλεῖν τινι 5, 4, 2a. τὰ ῥήματα τὰ λεγόμενα διὰ παραβολῶν 5, 4, 3b; γράφειν τὰς παρ. v 5:5f; Hs 9, 1, 1; συνιέναι τὰς παρ. m 10, 1, 3. γινώσκειν Hs 5, 3, 1a; 9, 5, 5. νοεῖν m 10, 1, 4; Hs 5, 3, 1b. ἐπιλύειν τινὶ παρ. 5, 3, 1c; 5, 4, 2b; 3a. συντελεῖν 9, 29, 4. ἡ ἐπίλυσις τῆς παρ. explanation, interpretation of the parable 5, 6, 8; αἱ ἐπιλύσεις τῶν παρ. 5, 5, 1. ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς δούλου τρόπον κεῖται ἐν τῇ παρ. the Son of God appears in the parable as a slave 5, 5, 5. ἡ παρ. εἰς τοὺς δούλους τοῦ θεοῦ κεῖται the par. refers to the slaves of God 2:4.—S. also the headings to the various parts of the third division of Hermas (the Parables) and on Hermas gener. s.

Mt 13:28, 46; 18:30; 25:18, 25; Mk 6:27, 37; Lk 5:14.—W. indication of place or person ἀπό τινος (Thu. 8, 92, 2; UPZ 61, 6f [161 B.C.] ἀφʼ ὑμῶν ἀπελήλυθα; Epict. 3, 15, 11; 3 Km 21:36; Tob 14:8): ἀπὸ τ. ὁρίων αὐτῶν Mk 5:17. ἀπʼ αὐτῆς Lk 1:38. ἀπʼ αὐτῶν 2:15; 8:37.—ἔξω τοῦ συνεδρίου Ac 4:15 (cp. Jdth 6:12). In a ship J 6:22.

ⓑ go (opp. ἐξέρχεται GrBar 9:2; πόθεν ἔρχει καὶ ποῦ ἀπέρχει TestAbr B 2, p. 106, 4ff [Stone p. 60] cod. C) w. indication of place εἰς (Simplicius in Epict. p. 134, 51 ἀ. εἰς τὸ ἱερόν): (on Mt 4:24 s. 3); εἰς ἔρημον τόπον Mk 1:35; cp. 6:36, 46; 7:24; Mt 8:33; 14:15; but ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον Lk 23:33 v.l. εἰς τὸν οἶκον Mt 9:7; Mk 7:30; Lk 1:23; Hs 9, 11, 2; εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν Mt 28:10; J 4:3, 43 v.l. εἰς Σπανίαν Ro 15:28; cp. 2 Cor 1:16 v.l. (for διελθεῖν). Gal 1:17. J 6:66 s. b end. ἐπί τι (Jos., Vi. 151): ἐπὶ τὸ μνημεῖον Lk 24:24 (cp. 3 Km 19:19 v.l.; Epict. 4, 7, 30). ἐν: Hs 1:6 (cp. Diod S 23, 18, 5 ἀπῆλθεν ἐν Μεσσήνῃ; Pel.-Leg. p. 7, 3; Epict. 2, 20, 33 ἀπελθεῖν ἐν βαλανείῳ). W. the simple dat. (PFay 113, 12 [100 A.D.] τῇ πόλει πέμψας) ποίῳ τόπῳ ἀπῆλθεν Hv 4, 3, 7.—Of a possessive spirit/demon (Thrasyllus [I A.D.]: 622 Fgm. 1, 2, 3 Jac.

Perh. also πρὸς αὐτούς J 20:10 (v.l. ἑαυτούς s. ἑαυτοῦ), which may be a colloquial expression = rejoined their party or group, i.e. the disciples (so Twentieth Century NT). The rendering of NSRV et al., ‘returned to their homes’, seems improbable (cp. CBarrett, Comm. ad loc.) in view of the description of the huddled disciples vs. 19. What appears to be ‘loose’ writing (taking a reader’s knowledge of the story line for granted) is characteristic of numerous displays of colloquial syntax in John’s gospel.—The v.l. (πρὸς) ἑαυτούς 20:10 gives the mng. go home, as πρὸς ἑαυτὸν Lk 24:12 (v.l. αὐτόν). On these two pass. s. FNeirynck, ETL 54, ’78, 104–18; RBorger, GGA 130f; idem, TU 52, ’87, 34; for the rdg. αὑτούς N²⁵ in J 20:10 cp. Jos., Ant. 8, 124; but s. also Metzger 254, 615f.—J 16:7 πρὸς τὸν πατέρα is to be supplied from the context (PPetr II, 13 [19], 7 [252 B.C.] εἰς θεοὺς ἀπελθεῖν).—Also of a journey in a boat εἰς τὸ πέραν go over to the opposite side Mt 8:18; Mk 8:13. εἰς ἔρημον τόπον Mk 6:32. W. no place indicated (the context supplies the goal as POxf 16, 16: to a festival) Lk 17:23.—W. purpose inf. (s. ἔρχομαι 1aε) GJs 9:3.—Of stones, w. connotation of being appropriate go εἰς τ. οἰκοδομήν into the building Hs 9, 5, 3 and 4; 9, 14, 2.—Abs. ἀ. εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω draw back a short distance J 18:6. For 6:66 s. 5.

② to discontinue as a condition or state, of diseases, etc. (Cebes 14, 3 οὐ μὴ ἀπέλθῃ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ἡ κακία; Ex 8:25) ἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα the leprosy left him Mk 1:42; Lk 5:13; ἡ ὀπώρα ἀ. ἀπὸ σοῦ your fruit is gone Rv 18:14.—Gener. pass away (SSol 2:11) Rv 9:12; 11:14; 21:1, 4.

③ to go from a source and spread out, go out, of a message go out and spread εἰς ὅλην τ. Συρίαν Mt 4:24.

④ to endeavor to attain someth., go after, of the Sodomites ἀ. ὀπίσω σαρκὸς ἑτέρας go after flesh other than their own, i.e., as humans soliciting sexual relations with transcendent figures Jd 7.
