“Again,
Jesus said.
‘To what
Should I compare
The kingdom of God?’”
Καὶ πάλιν εἶπεν Τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ;
Luke indicated that Jesus once again asked (Καὶ πάλιν εἶπεν) what he could compare the kingdom of God to (Τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)? Jesus was once again trying to figure out how to explain the kingdom of God. This indication of another parable can also be found in in Matthew, chapter 13:33, indicating a Q source. Jesus, via Matthew, told them another short parable (Ἄλλην παραβολὴν ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς), not using the phrase kingdom of God, but explicitly calling it a parable. Do you know how to make good comparisons?
