馬太福音 13:33-36 CUNPTS

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 13:34-35

Christ spake all the aforementioned things to the multitude, and also to his disciples, in parables, dark sayings, covering Divine and spiritual truths with fit and proper similitudes; and at this time he delivered himself wholly in this manner to them, though at other times he spake more plainly. He gave us the reason before; and by this way of speaking also he made his own disciples more diligent to attend to what they heard, and more inquisitive after the true sense and meaning of it. And... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 13:36

The multitude went away (as most people do from sermons) never the wiser, understanding nothing of what they heard, nor caring to understand it. But there was a more conscientious part of our Saviour’s auditory, who could not thus satisfy themselves; they follow Christ into the house, and entreat him to open to them the parable of the tares of the field; they say nothing of the other two parables, because probably they understood them, and it may be this parable did more affect them, in regard... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 13:31-33

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 13:31. Mustard seed.—It is disputed whether the allusion is to the Sinapis or common mustard plant, or to the Salvadora Persica of European botanists. Dean Plumptre suggests that the name was probably used widely for any plant that had the pungent flavour of mustard. Dr. W. M. Thomson remarks that the mustard seed was the smallest of the seeds which the husbandman was accustomed to sow, while the plant, when full grown, was larger than any other herb in his garden (see... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 13:34-43

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 13:35. Fulfilled.—The quotation illustrates, much in the same way as those in Matthew 8:17; Matthew 12:17, St. Matthew’s peculiar way of dealing with the prophetic language of the Old Testament. He found the word “parable” at the opening of a psalm (Psalms 78:2). The psalm itself was in no sense predictive of the coming Christ and has never been classed among the Messianic psalms, but was simply an historical survey of God’s dealings with Israel from the days of the Exodus... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:3-50

Matthew 13:3-50 The Parables of the Kingdom. I. Taking these seven parables all together, notice, first, the fact that our Lord, in describing the kingdom of heaven, did deliberately use many parables, and those strikingly different from one another. The kingdom of heaven is a many-sided thing, and there are many ways of looking at it, all of which may be true ways, though differing very greatly. II. The kingdom of heaven, as Christ expounded it, is the Gospel, the word of salvation, everywhere... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:31-33

Matthew 13:31-33 The Kingdom of God. I. Look first at the external progress of the kingdom as illustrated by the growth of the mustard seed. It is ever important to remember that Christianity, at first like a small grain of seed, spread throughout the world, until the nations of the earth came to flock like birds to its protecting shelter, by no aid except its own inherent spiritual power. There was nothing to help it in the character of its early teachers. There was nothing to make its... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:33

Matthew 13:33 (with Luke 13:20-21 ) The Leaven. This parable, like that of the mustard seed, relates to the marvellous increase of the kingdom of God; but while the last sets forth its outward visible manifestation, this declares its hidden working, its mysterious influence on that world which on all sides it touches. I. By the leaven we are to understand the word of the kingdom, which word, in its highest sense, Christ Himself was. As the mustard seed, out of which a mighty tree should... read more

DISCOURSE: 1362LEAVEN HID IN MEALMatthew 13:33. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.AS our Lord was not weary of multiplying his parables, so neither should we be of considering them. There is indeed an inexhaustible variety in them; and in those, which most resemble each other, there will be found a rich and instructive diversity. Scarcely any two are more alike than... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Matthew 13:36

DISCOURSE: 1363THE TARESMatthew 13:36. His disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.THERE is much in the Holy Scriptures which unenlightened reason cannot comprehend. Hence the proud and self-sufficient continue ignorant of many truths. But they who seek Divine teaching have more enlarged views. God can “reveal to babes what he hides from the wise and prudent.” Nor will he leave any in darkness who pray for his Spirit. The Apostles set us an example... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 13:33

Another parable That interpretation of the parable of the Leaven (Matthew 13:33) which makes (with variation as to details) the leaven to be the Gospel, introduced into the world ("three measures of meal") by the church, and working subtly until the world is converted ("till the whole was leavened") is open to fatal objection: (1) it does violence to the unvarying symbolical meaning of leaven, and especially to the meaning fixed by our Lord Himself. Matthew 16:6-12; Mark 8:15 See "Leaven,"... read more
