According to Mark and Matthew, Jesus taught in figurative language and his style of teaching was parables. In Greek Parables mean a “placing beside” or “a comparison”, it is a brief narrative which compares familiar object or practices that point you to the kingdom of God. Jesus debated points of the Mosaic Torah and quoted statements that his follows would remember, such as the “The Sabbath was md for man sake, and man for the Sabbath” (mark 2:27). Within the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus kept his speeches short except for the vivid parables.
