Throughout Jesus' ministry, he proclaims the Good News, which is the coming of the Kingdom of God. He did not intend to replace or contradict Jewish laws, teachings or institutions in his ministry,1 and employed some narrative methods used in the Old Testament or the Hebrew Bible. One method he used was parables. Jesus used parables to explain spiritual issues in a simple way so that ordinary people would understand his message. Jesus tries to bring the Kingdom into everyday life by using parables in his ministry2. This type of teaching would have been familiar to the people of Jesus' time on earth because there are many metaphorical stories in the Hebrew Bible, such as the story of Hosea and his wife Gomer, which symbolized the loss of faith of the people of Israel. and their separation from God3. The parable of the sower in Mark 4:1-9 can be interpreted as a metaphor for what happens when the word is spoken. The good earth is a symbol that he who hears the word and accepts it will be rewarded with the Kingdom. The parable shows the theme of final reversal, which Jesus also explains in the Beatitudes of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. In the first of the Beatitudes according to Luke, Jesus simply tells them that the poor will be rewarded with the Kingdom: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God. » (Luke 6:20). This is a reversal of status for those who accept God's Word, especially for those who have suffered through no fault of their own, such as those living in poverty or with an illness then considered unclean. The Beatitudes list what those who suffer can hope for in the Kingdom of God. Jesus also shows them, through his actions, what they can hope for in the Kingdom. Then... middle of paper... citizens because the society they lived in was patriarchal. Women were not even treated as humans, but property passed from the woman's father to her husband. They were not educated to the same extent as men and most had low status. Jesus did not treat women the same way as most people. Even though they were known as sinners, like the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus spoke to them like everyone else13. The equality that Jesus shows the woman was strange to his disciples because “they were astonished that he spoke to a woman” (Jn 4:27). Jesus' respect for women is also seen after his resurrection since his first appearance was to the women, "Mary of Magdala, and Mary, mother of James, and Salome" (Mk 16, 1), who came to anoint his body with aromatics. . This is significant because it shows the importance of women to Jesus and that they will be considered equal in the Kingdom of God..
