The mutiple editors of the bible never really got together to collaberate a coherent story so that's why it's the dog's breakfast that it is. Parable writing method tries to smother over the inconsistencies I guess but fails upon closer scrutiny and application of logic and historic findings.
Try again why Jesus used parables. He says if He did not people would understand and He would have to save them. Read Mark 4.
