I'm sorry, was your contention that no one in the biblical narrative (assuming you mean the NT)-other than the character of christ- leveraged a parable? If so, then I misread your statement. On the other hand, every third person story about christ actually qualifies as a parable.......so, you probably don't understand what a parable is.... In the same way that you might see Hare or Briar Rabbit as a recurring character in a great many fables, you see christ as a recurring character in a great many parables.
Stories within stories within stories.
Or- are you asking me here to show you that someone other than chirst used a parable -from within the biblical narrative- as though that would have some impact on whether or not people used parables outside of the narrative, you know, in the real world?
I hate to have to ask....but with you, I'm afraid I really can't tell sometimes.
