    About this deck

    Jesus taught great crowds in parables — short, vivid stories drawn from ordinary life that hide and reveal the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. These flashcards collect twelve of His best-known parables, from the Sower to the Ten Virgins, with the central plot summary and a KJV reference on the back of every card. Use this deck to prepare a Bible study, review with children after Sunday school, or sharpen your own recall of where each parable is found and what it teaches.

    How to study these flashcards

    • Read the full passage after flipping each card.
    • Ask: what does this parable reveal about the kingdom of heaven?
    • Note which parables are unique to Luke (15 contains three lost-and-found parables).
    • Use the reverse mode to recall the parable name from the plot.
