The Parables Only Luke Kept

Luke's travel narrative (Luke 9:51–19:27) carries the largest store of unique parables in the Gospels: the Good Samaritan (10:25–37), the Friend at Midnight (11:5–8), the Rich Fool (12:16–21), the Barren Fig Tree (13:6–9), the Chief Seats and the Great Supper (14:7–24), the Tower Builder and the King at War (14:28–33), the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son (15:8–32), the Unjust Steward (16:1–13), the Rich Man and Lazarus (16:19–31), the Servant's Duty (17:7–10), the Persistent Widow and the Pharisee and the Publican (18:1–14), and the Pounds (19:11–27). Read as a set, they carry Luke's signature portrait: the Son of man who "came to seek and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10) — grace for outsiders, warnings for the rich, and persistence in prayer. Each reference above is the door into the reader. Sources: the KJV text itself (PD); parables brief §4 and §6.
