παρομοιάζετε [1 verse] (verb 2nd pl pres ind act) "Ye are like" is paromoiazo, which means "to be like" and "to be much like." This word is most often used is works about writing and elecution.  - The word translated as "ye are like" is from a verb that means "to be like" and "to be much like." This is NOT the verb that Jesus commonly uses in all the "the kingdom of heaven is like" verses. This word is a more academic word and indicates more of a likeness that the metaphorical similarity of the more common word.
