The Gospel of John does not use the ordinary word "parable", as the Synoptics do frequently, for our Lord’s narrative likenesses in illustration of truth. John was led to employ the word given in the Septuagint for a "proverb", in the sense of an "allegory", or a divergence from the common way of speech, as parable means a comparison.
