马太福音 13:15-16 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:1-58

(a) , Matthew 13:1-23 , also in Mark and Luke, except some characteristic enlargements in verses 10-17. The section contains the parable of the sower and its interpretation, together with a statement of our Lord's reasons for teaching by parables. This is so nearly akin to the fundamental lesson of the first parable, that we cannot be surprised that the two should be recorded together. They seem, indeed, to have formed the nucleus of the whole collection. (b) Verses 24-35, of which... read more

Parable of the sower. The object of this parable is to explain the causes of the failure and success of the gospel. It might have been supposed enough to proclaim the kingdom. Why does this fail? It fails, says our Lord, because of the nature of the soil. This soil is often impervious, often shallow, often dirty. I. " SOME SEEDS FELL BY THE WAYSIDE , AND THE FOWLS CAME AND DEVOURED THEM ." The spiritual analogue is said to be in him "who heareth the Word,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:10-17

The reason w hy Christ spoke to the multitudes in parables. The question of the disciples ( Matthew 13:10 ). Christ's antithesis—You are the recipients of God's gift; they are not ( Matthew 13:11 ). This is not arbitrary, but in accordance with a universal law ( Matthew 13:12 ). They have not been using their faculties, and therefore they are thus judged, in accordance with the words of Isaiah (verses 13-15). The privilege of the disciples further insisted upon (verses 16,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:10-17

The reason of the parable. After our Lord had discoursed in parables to the multitude assembled on the seashore, his disciples inquired of him why he used that mode of teaching, for hitherto he had spoken in simple and explicit language. The reply shows that the design was— I. TO EVINCE THE SPIRITUALITY OF SAVING TRUTH . 1 . It is a mystery to be revealed. 2 . It is still mystery when revealed. 3 . The revelation is blessed. II. TO LIMIT THE ... read more

For this people's heart is waxed gross. There are two ways of understanding this verse as it comes here. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:16

But blessed ( Matthew 5:3 , note) are your eyes . Christ now returns to emphasize Matthew 13:11 . For they see ( ὅτι βλέπουσιν ) . This may refer to the disciples being able to see spiritual truths before God's special grace given them by way of reward to this effect, but this hardly suits the context from the phrase, "it is given" ( Matthew 13:12 ). It is, therefore, better to understand the verse to refer to their seeing and hearing things by virtue of grace given in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:16-17

Parallel passage: Luke 10:23 , Luke 10:24 , after the return of the seventy, and immediately following our Matthew 11:25 , Matthew 11:27 . The verses stand there, that is to say, in close connexion with the other great utterance contrasting God's revelation of spiritual things to some and his hiding them from others. Possibly he spoke the verses only once (cf. the repetitions in the Prophets), but, in view of the frequency with which Christ's utterances are placed out of their original... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:10-17

Christ, in these verses, gives a “reason” why he used this manner of instruction. See also Mark 4:10-12; Luke 8:9-10.Matthew 13:11The mysteries of the kingdom - The word “mystery,” in the Bible, properly means a thing that is “concealed,” or that “has been concealed.” It does not mean that the thing was “incomprehensible,” or even difficult to be understood.The thing might be “plain” enough if revealed, but it means simply that it “had” not been before made known. Thus the “mysteries of the... read more

Matthew 13:13-15. Therefore speak I to them in parables, because they seeing, see not In pursuance of this general rule, I do not give more knowledge to this people, because they use not that which they have already: having all the means of seeing, hearing, and understanding, they use none of them; they do not effectually see, or hear, or understand any thing. For instance, seeing my miracles, which are incontestable proofs of my divine mission, they are not convinced thereby that I am... read more

Matthew 13:16-17. But blessed are your eyes, &c. For you both see and hear, and understand. You have not only greater opportunities of instruction than others, but you both know how to prize, and are concerned to improve them. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets Who prophesied of the coming of the Messiah; and righteous men To whom God familiarly showed himself, and made known his will, as he did to Abraham and the patriarchs; and many kings, Luke 10:24; from whose seed... read more
