Which Bible parables made an impression on you?

.

On 51:  For me the key word here is "you", applying to the hearer. "YOU" do not know it. We can't be sure of the emphasis.

On 77 :  The key word there is "I". It should mean "I" from the perspective of the hearer, not just the speaker. "I" am the light, etc.

How about these, further on?...

55-57 : Jesus said, "Whoever does not hate father and mother cannot be my disciple, and whoever does not hate brothers and sisters, and carry the cross as I do, will not be worthy of me."

Jesus said, "Whoever has come to know the world has discovered a carcass, and whoever has discovered a carcass, of that person the world is not worthy."

Jesus said, "The Father's kingdom is like a person who has [good] seed. His enemy came during the night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The person did not let the workers pull up the weeds, but said to them, 'No, otherwise you might go to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.' For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be conspicuous, and will be pulled up and burned."
