Apothegm
An apothegm is a short, pithy, instructive saying; a terse remark or aphorism.
As used by some biblical scholars, the term "apothegm" denotes brief stories in the Gospels that culminate in a saying of Jesus. Examples include Matthew 8:18-22; 9:10-13; 16:1-4; Mark 2:18-22; 10:13-15; Luke 6:1-5; 11:37-44. (Walter A. Elwell, Philip W. Comfort, Tyndale Bible Dictionary, 2001, p. 96.)
