It is said,“Jesus taught in parables to make his teachings easier to understand.”

No, Jesus specifically said that he taught in parables so that the people would NOT understand (Matthew 13:10,11) in fulfilment of a specific prophecy ((Matthew 13:13).  Even his disciples had to ask him what he meant by the parables.  Later one exclaimed, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.”(John 16:29)

Jesus’ meanings were hidden to the Jewish people with the exception of the few (relatively) who followed him. (Matthew 13:10,11)
