“Jesus is not a parable.”
Never said he was. However he taught using parables so the ignorant would not gain the power of the knowledge. Let those who have ears hear.... Don’t give your pearls to the swine, lest they turn on you...
“However he taught using parables so the ignorant would not gain the power of the knowledge.”

That is not why Jesus used Parables - he used them to explain to the masses - all at once - the meanings behind his teachings - not to keep them in the dark - but to enlighten them
