Yohanes 10:6

10:6 Jesus told them this parable, ¹  but they ²  did not understand ³  what he was saying to them.

[10:6]  ¹ sn A parable is a fairly short narrative that has symbolic meaning. The Greek word παροιμίαν (paroimian) is used again in 16:25, 29. This term does not occur in the synoptic gospels, where παραβολή (parabolh) is used. Nevertheless it is similar, denoting a short narrative with figurative or symbolic meaning.

[10:6]  ² tn Grk “these.”

[10:6]  ³ tn Or “comprehend.”
