馬太福音 13:49 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:47-50

The dragnet. The import of this parable is similar to that of the tares, though perhaps of wider application. The theatre of the earlier parable is the land, which in prophecy designates the Hebrew people, while the sea, in the latter, points to the Gentile nations (cf. Isaiah 5:30 ; Daniel 7:2 , Daniel 7:3 ; Revelation 13:1 ; Revelation 17:1 , Revelation 17:15 ). The kingdom of heaven was first offered to the Jews, and when they rejected it, it was then carried to the Gentiles... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:49

So shall it be at (in, Revised Version) the end of the world ( cf. Matthew 13:39 , Matthew 13:40 , notes): the angels shall come forth ( Matthew 13:41 ), and sever . Taking them completely away ( ἀφοριοῦσιν ). The wicked ( τοὺς πονηρούς ); Matthew 7:18 and Matthew 6:13 , notes. As compared with σαπρός (verse 48), it refers more directly to the moral character. Our Lord has here left the imagery of the parable. From among the just; the righteous (Revised... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:47-50

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net ... - This parable does not differ in meaning from that of the tares. The gospel is compared to a net dragging along on the bottom of a lake, and collecting all - good and bad. The gospel may be expected to do the same; but in the end of the world, when the net “is drawn in,” the bad will be separated from the good; the one will be cast away, and the other saved. Our Saviour never fails to keep before our minds the great truth that there is to be a day... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 13:47-50

Matthew 13:47-50. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, &c. The gospel preached to the world may be compared to a net cast into the sea, and gathering fishes of all kinds. For by the preaching of it congregations are gathered, and a visible church is formed, and both good and bad men are brought to profess themselves members of it, and are mingled together in such a manner, that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to make a proper distinction between them: Christian... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:44-52

56. Hidden treasure; pearl; fishing net (Matthew 13:44-52)Two parables show that when people are convinced of the priceless and lasting value of the kingdom of God, they will make any sacrifice to enter it (Matthew 13:44-46). Yet those in the kingdom still live in a world where the righteous and the wicked exist together. Even among those who claim to be in the kingdom are the true and the false. These will be separated at the last judgment (Matthew 13:47-50).Jesus’ teachings are likened to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 13:47-50

Matthew 13:47-50. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net— This parable intimates, that by the preaching of the Gospel a visible church should be gathered on earth, consistingboth of good and bad men, mingled in such a manner, that it would be difficult to make a proper distinction between them; but that at the end of the world the bad shall be separated from the good, and cast into hell; which the parable represents under the image of casting them into the furnace of fire, because that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:49

49. So shall it be at the end of the world, c.—(See on Matthew 13:1). We have said that each of these two parables holds forth the same truth under a slight diversity of aspect. What is that diversity? First, the bad, in the former parable, are represented as vile seed sown among the wheat by the enemy of souls in the latter, as foul fish drawn forth out of the great sea of human beings by the Gospel net itself. Both are important truths—that the Gospel draws within its pale, and into the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 13:1-53

C. Adaptations because of Israel’s rejection of Jesus 13:1-53"The die is cast. The religious leaders have openly declared their opposition to their Messiah. The people of Israel are amazed at the power of Jesus and His speech, but they fail to recognize Him as their King. Not seeing the Messiahship of Jesus in His words and works, they have separated the fruit from the tree. Because of this opposition and spiritual apathy, the King adapts His teaching method and the doctrine concerning the... read more

IV. THE OPPOSITION TO THE KING 11:2-13:53Chapters 11-13 record Israel’s rejection of her Messiah and its consequences. Opposition continued to build, but Jesus announced new revelation in view of hardened unbelief."The Evangelist has carefully presented the credentials of the king in relationship to His birth, His baptism, His temptation, His righteous doctrine, and His supernatural power. Israel has heard the message of the nearness of the kingdom from John the Baptist, the King Himself, and... read more
