See introductory note of the chapter. The kingdom of heaven It is to be noted that these seven parables all have for their subject the kingdom of God: its planting principles, developments, and final victory. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 13:12

12. Whosoever hath That is, hath a willing and receptive disposition and purpose. Shall be given Namely, the truth which he is willing to receive. Hath not Hath not the receptivity. That he hath The disciples had a receptive disposition, and so there was given to them the lesson and its explanation, the parable and its doctrine. The Jewish cavillers had not the receptive willingness, and so even that which they had was taken from them, namely, the opportunity of learning. It was... read more
