馬太福音 13:11-12 RCUVTS

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 13:1-17

CRITICAL NOTESPRELIMINARY REMARKSThe parables of Jesus.—The word “parable” has in the New Testament, in its application to the discourses of Jesus, a considerably wider meaning than the one in which we speak of the parables of the Lord in the current phraseology of the church. The designation παραβολή, from παραβάλλειν (therefore = placing side by side, comparing), belongs to every utterance containing a comparison of any kind (see Luke 5:36; Luke 6:39; Mark 3:23 ff.; Matthew 24:32; Mark... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:3-50

Matthew 13:3-50 The Parables of the Kingdom. I. Taking these seven parables all together, notice, first, the fact that our Lord, in describing the kingdom of heaven, did deliberately use many parables, and those strikingly different from one another. The kingdom of heaven is a many-sided thing, and there are many ways of looking at it, all of which may be true ways, though differing very greatly. II. The kingdom of heaven, as Christ expounded it, is the Gospel, the word of salvation, everywhere... read more

Matthew 13:10-17 The Parables of Christ. I. "Whosoever hath, to him shall be given," etc, Here a universal law is announced as the explanation of the gift to the disciples of understanding mysteries, and of the difference between them and others. Whosoever hath, whosoever hath not. Is it not assumed in that universal statement is it not affirmed that every man has received certain things which the Bestower will increase if he hold them fast, but which he may let go and be left utterly bare?... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:12

Matthew 13:12 To Him that hath shall be given a law of the Christian Sabbath. Let us illustrate this doctrine by a reference: I. To nations. If there were any land in which the higher uses of the Sabbath were universally understood and enjoyed, we should be able to show there, in their full measure, the temporal benefits with which it is charged; but, alas! such an example cannot be found on earth. In Popish countries generally, and in some that are nominally Protestant, you may see the... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 13:11

mysteries A "mystery" in Scripture is a previously hidden truth, now divinely revealed; but in which a supernatural element still remains despite the revelation. The greater mysteries are: (1) The mysteries of the kingdom of heaven Matthew 13:3-50.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:1-58

Now as we enter into the thirteenth chapter, we come into the area of the parables that deal with the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. And in these we have more or less a key to all parables.And years ago when I was in seminary I had a very smart professor who exhorted us young seminarians to not preach from the parables until we've been pastoring for at least thirty years. I now qualify. And I wish I had back a lot of those sermons that I preached from the parables when I thought my... read more

Matthew 13:2 . He went into a ship. A small vessel or boat, probably belonging to one of the disciples, several of whom were fishermen. Matthew 13:3 . He spake many things to them in parables. On the mount our Saviour unfolded the grace of his kingdom, and rescued the purity and perfection of the law from the glosses of rabbinical traditions. Here, making a pulpit of the ship, he varied his method, and spake in parables after the manner frequently resorted to in the east. This mode of... read more

11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Ver. 11. Because it is given to you ] Plutarch thinks that life is given to men merely for the getting of knowledge. And the Greeks call man Φωτα , for the inbred desire of light and knowledge that is naturally in all. a But desire we never so much, none can attain to sound and saving knowledge, but those only to whom it is given from above, into whose... read more
