A '''Biblical Parable''' is a symbolic story that teaches gospel truths by comparing them to earthly things.  There are about 40 parables in the [[New Testament]] and several in the [[Old Testament]], depending on how one counts them.

Many of the parables are about [[open-mindedness]] and how that leads one to truth and [[God]].  Most of [[New Testament]] parables have a surprise twist that a closed-minded mindset initially has trouble accepting, despite the indisputable logic of the parable.
