Christ alone with his disciples. He explains to them at their request the parable of the tares ( Matthew 13:36-43 ), and adds three parables—the treasure, the pearl, the dragnet—the first two calculated to urge them to full renunciation of everything for Christ, the third to save them from presumption ( Matthew 13:44-50 ). Upon their acknowledging progress in spiritual understanding, he shows them further possibilities ( Matthew 13:51 , Matthew 13:52 ). read more

He answered and said unto them. In the following reply of our Lord ( Matthew 13:37-43 ) observe the change of style at Matthew 13:40 . Until then we have pithy, concise sentences all joined by the simple copula δέ , which can hardly be anything else than literal translations of the Lord's own phrases. But Matthew 13:40-43 are in the usual style of this Gospel. The Son of man ( Matthew 8:20 , note). read more

As therefore. Observe that in Matthew 13:40-43 our Lord dwells at much greater length on the details of the reapers' work than on the preceding stages of the parable. lie wishes to draw special attention to the fact that the tares will, without any doubt, be one day separated, and the wheat appear in full splendour. The tares are gathered and burned in the fire— burned with fire (Revised Version); cf. Matthew 3:10 , note— so shall it be in the end of this world (verse 39, note). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:36-43

The Son of man, the Lord Jesus, sows the good seed - that is, preaches the gospel.

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:24-43
The great Administrator's foresight. This second parable of the seven proceeds in a certain degree upon the lines of the first. But its object is different; and though quite in the nature of an advance on the former, it is more limited in its scope. The first parable manifestly is the foundation of this one, and perhaps it may be said of all others. We may, perhaps, judge that to each parable, as one succeeded another, quickened attention was given, at any rate, by some of the hearers. But... read more
