Why did Paul write 1 Corinthians? Why was one of Jesus' names The Storyteller? Why did monotheism become popular? Who was Jesus's first apostle? Why is the number 40 significant in the Bible? Why is the Talmud important to Judaism?
If you are asking yourself if Jesus did this on purpose, of course he did. Jesus shared the meaning with his disciples with full disclosure. They knew Him to be the messiah, and just in case they needed the clarification of the parable, He gave it to them. (For reference take a look...
