The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:36-52

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

The parables addressed to the disciples. I. THE HIDDEN TREASURE . 1 . The story. Treasures were often hidden in fact, still more often in fiction. A man walked through the field; he lighted suddenly on the treasure. He hid it, again. It was his, probably, by right of finding. But in this parable, as in others, not every detail is to be pressed. Earthly stories cannot exactly express every feature of spiritual truth. One parable supplies the omissions of another; taken together,... read more

The parable of the dragnet. This parable at once recalls that of the tares, but it will be noticed that there our Lord's aim is to inculcate patience and hopefulness on tile part of his servants when they realize the close proximity of the ungodly even in districts won over to the faith, while here his aim is rather to warn. To be in the kingdom is not enough; some of those now within it may nevertheless be cast out. It thus greatly resembles the parable of the ten virgins; save that in that... read more

The dragnet. This parable may be compared with the parables of the soils and the tares. All three show different results following the teaching of Christ according to the characters of those whom he teaches. The parable of the soils draws attention to the varying degrees of success or failure dependent on the condition of the hearers; the tares illustrate evil influences side by side with the work of Christ; the dragnet disregards these two causes of failure, and deals only with results—it... read more

The gathering together in order to the separating. Note, in introduction, that this parable is by no means merely another version of that of the tares. As a priori we should feel certain it could not be so, it needs neither long nor deep search to see that it certainly is not so. The resemblance between the two parables lies only on the surface, and not less true is it that on the very surface also lies sufficient conviction of the real difference between the two. The illustration of the... read more

The parable of the net. This parable, the last of the series, directs our thoughts to the completion of the kingdom. "So shall it be in the end of the world;" this is the starting point of the interpretation. We are to consider what part the kingdom of heaven is to play then ; when other kingdoms have played their parts; when. things are being settled for eternity according to their value to God. It makes no practical difference in the application of the parable whether you make the net... read more

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

Which, when it was full; filled (Revised Version, ἐπληρώθη ); i.e. not as a matter of course, but by those that came or were brought in. They drew to shore. The Revised Version reproduces the local touch, they drew up on the beach ( Matthew 13:2 , note). In the parable those who cast the net also separate the fish, but this identification of two distinct sets of persons ( Matthew 13:24 , Matthew 13:30 , Matthew 13:37 , Matthew 13:41 ) is merely part of the machinery of... read more

The final sorting time. Those who have watched the hauling in of the great seine net on our shores, the rapid sorting of its contents, the throwing of the bad away, and the noisy auction on the sands, will fully realize every point of our Lord's illustration. The net represents the gospel message, the good news of God the Saviour. It is like a net; it will catch and hold men. Put into words it is this: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Jesus "is able to save unto the uttermost... 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
