2 Parables of Jesus Welcome to Scripture Adventures: Parables of Jesus. This material will help you learn about (and love) the beau ful parables that Jesus taught. A parable is a story that teaches a lesson. Jesus o en used them to help people understand his gospel message.

B B The parables of Jesus were recorded in four books in the Bible: Ma hew, Mark, Luke, and John, which are called the four gospels. They are in the beginning of the New Testament. Can you find Ma hew, Mark, Luke, and John in your Bible? G S G N T B M Throughout Scripture Adventures: Parables of Jesus, you will find maps of important places in the Bible. You can use the maps to learn more about the places that Jesus lived, taught, and visited. You can color the maps and share them with your family.

4 The Good Samaritan Jesus used stories, or parables, to teach important ideas. The stories helped people understand truths of his gospel. One day Jesus asked a scribe about the greatest commandment. The scribe answered, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Jesus said to the man, "Do these things, and you shall have everlas ng life." But the man asked, "Who is my neighbor?" To answer this ques on, Jesus told the parable of "The Good Samaritan." Read the story below and underline what happened to the man on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Circle the person who helped his neighbor. The Samaritan helped the wounded man when others would not. R '2 S,0 A certain man was going down the lonely road from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, who stripped him of all that he had, and beat him. Then the robbers went away, leaving him almost dead. It happened that a certain priest was going down that road, and when he saw the man lying there, he passed by on the other side and did not help the wounded man. A Levite also, when he came to the place and saw the man, he too, went by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he was going down, came where this man was; and as soon as he saw him he felt a pity for him. The Samaritan came to the man, and dressed his wounds. Then he li ed him up, and set him on his own donkey, and walked beside him to an inn. There he took care of him all night, and the next morning he took out from his purse two shillings, and gave them to the keeper of the inn, and said, "Take care of him, and if you need to spend more than this, do so, and when I come again I will pay it to you." Parables of Jesus Page 4

5 S W Y K When Jesus was finished telling the story, he asked the scribe, Which one of these three men do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" The scribe answered, "The one who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do thou likewise." 1. The priest and the did not help the wounded man. They hurried on their way without helping. 2. Put a check next to the things the Samaritan did to help the wounded man. He gave the wounded man money. He took the man to an inn where the man could get help. He took the man home. He gave money to the innkeeper to take care of the wounded man. 3. What do you think Jesus meant by this parable? a. If we see someone in need, we should only help them if they are our friend. b. We should always think of ourselves before others. c. The priest and the Levite were good men. d. Our neighbor" is the one who needs the help that we can give him. 4. What can you do to serve your neighbor? M V Jesus taught that we should love and serve everyone around us. Memorize his words: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. Luke 10:27 Parables of Jesus Page 5

6 ...and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. Luke 10:27 Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength...

8 The Lost Sheep and Coins While Jesus was teaching, many of the publicans, those who took up the taxes from the people, came to hear him along with many others who were called "sinners" by the Pharisees and the Scribes. The enemies of Jesus said: "This man likes to have sinners come to see him, and he eats with them." Then Jesus told two parables called "The Lost Sheep" and The Lost Coin to show why he was willing to talk with sinners. Read the stories below and underline what Jesus said happens in heaven when a sinner repents. R '2 S,0 The Lost Sheep What man of you, who has a hundred sheep, if one of them is lost, does not leave his ninety and nine sheep in the field and go a er the one that is lost un l he finds it? When he has found the lost sheep, he lays it on his shoulders, glad to see his lost sheep again. When he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, and says to them, "Be glad with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost! Even so, there is joy in heaven over one sinner who has turned to God. The Lost Coin If any woman has ten pieces of silver, and loses one piece, will she not light a lamp, and sweep her house carefully un l she finds it? When she has found it, she will call together her friends and her neighbors, saying, Be glad with me; for I have found the piece of silver that I had lost. Even so, there is joy among the angels of God over one sinner that turns from his sins. A woman who loses money will light a lamp and look for it carefully. Parables of Jesus Page 12

9 S W Y K Fill in the chart below using what you learned about the parables of The Lost Sheep and The Lost Coin. Parable What was lost? What did the owner do? What happened when the lost object was found? The Lost Sheep The Lost Coin M V Jesus taught that God loves everyone and rejoices when we repent. Memorize his words: There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Luke 15:10 Parables of Jesus Page 13
