John 10:6

Parable [π α ρ ο ι μ ι α ν]. The word occurs but once outside of John's writings (2 Peter 2:22). The usual word for parable is parabolh, which is once rendered proverb in the A. V. (Luke 4:23, changed to parable by Rev.), and which occurs nowhere in John. For the distinction see on Matthew 13:3.
