Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 13:18-21

Luke 13:18-21. Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? After the Lord had thus silenced the ruler of the synagogue, and while he observed the rejoicings of the people, he reflected with pleasure on the reason and truth which so effectually supported his kingdom. For he delivered a second time the parables of the grain of mustard-seed, and of the leaven, to show the efficacious operation of the gospel upon the minds of men, and its speedy propagation through the world in spite of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 13:18-21

55. Wheat and weeds; mustard seed; yeast (Matthew 13:24-43; Mark 4:30-34; Luke 13:18-21)In another parable, two types of seed produce two types of plants in the same field. The plants, wheat and weeds, are not separated while they are growing, but are left till harvest time. Then the wheat is put into the farmer’s barn but the weeds are destroyed (Matthew 13:24-30).As with the parable of the sower, Jesus gave his disciples an interpretation (Matthew 13:34-36; cf. v. 10,16-18). In the present... read more

He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it? It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof.THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEEDANALOGIES IN THE PARABLEThe small seed = the small beginning of the churchThe large tree = the size of the historic ChristendomThe birds = evil, extraneous elements associated with the kingdomThe... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 13:18

18-21. mustard seed . . . leaven—(See on :-). The parable of "the Leaven" sets forth, perhaps, rather the inward growth of the kingdom, while "the Mustard Seed" seems to point chiefly to the outward. It being a woman's work to knead, it seems a refinement to say that "the woman" here represents the Church, as the instrument of depositing the leaven. Nor does it yield much satisfaction to understand the "three measures of meal" of that threefold division of our nature into "spirit, soul, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 13:18-19

The parable of the mustard seed 13:18-19 (cf. Matthew 13:31-32; Mark 4:30-32)The kingdom of God is the messianic kingdom that the Old Testament predicted. It would be an earthly kingdom over which Messiah would rule for 1,000 years (Revelation 20:4-6). It is similar to a mustard seed in that it had a small beginning in the preaching of Jesus, but it will grow to be a very large entity. It will eventually encompass the whole earth and the entire human race (Psalms 2; et al.). Luke did not... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 13:18-21

1. Parables of the kingdom 13:18-21The connection with what has preceded that Luke’s "therefore" suggests is probably the reaction of the multitude (Luke 13:17). Since the multitude reacted positively to Jesus, He taught them about the coming messianic kingdom. His previous comments about coming judgment made this teaching appropriate.These parables occur in Matthew and Mark in a different context. Luke therefore may have reported the same teaching on another occasion, or he may have moved... read more
