5 The*Gospel*according*to*Mark* focusesonestablishingjesus iden6tyasthe SonofGod ; hence,markemphasizesjesus healingsandmiracles,not*his teachingandpreaching. Consequently,Mark*reports only9parables,whilemaihew* givesus23andluke,28. *
6 Theword parable isacompoundoftwo Greekwords:parav(para= alongside, as inparamedicorparalegal)andbolhv(bolé= theverb tothrow ). A*parable*is*a*succinct,*didacNc*story*thrown* alongside*a*common,*ordinary*truth*to* illuminate*that*truth*in*a*striking*and* memorable*fashion.**parables*are*meant*to* illuminate,*not*to*hide*or*obscure. **
