Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 13:36

Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.The desire of the disciples for an explanation of that parable is understandable. Even with the Lord's explanation, men do not fully understand it, as evidenced by the most diverse opinions regarding it. It must have appeared dark indeed before the Lord illuminated it.Explanation of the Parable of the Tares of the Field: read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 13:37

And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man.The identity of the one who sowed the good seed is plain. It is Christ. The problem concerns the true meaning of "the field." Christ said the field is "the world," and from this it is alleged that the parable has no reference to prohibitions against the disciples' exercise of discipline against members of the church. Note, however, that authority for church discipline does not require any support from this parable, since... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 13:38

And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one.The fact that the tares did not appear until fruit was "brought forth" (Matthew 13:26) shows that they were indistinguishable from the wheat until that time, a fact strongly indicating that they were "in the church," else they could not have been confused with the wheat. The "tares" were actually "darnel" (English Revised Version (1885), margin), a type of bastard wheat... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 13:38

Matthew 13:38. The children of the kingdom— This is a Hebraism, signifying the heirs of the kingdom, ch. Mat 8:12 where the unbelieving Jews are named the children of the kingdom, in opposition to the Gentiles, because they were born within the Mosaic covenant. Here the children of the kingdom are the true believers, as the children of the wicked one are the unregenerate and disobedient. See John 8:41; John 8:44. read more

36-38. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field, &c.—In the parable of the Sower, "the seed is the word of God" (Luke 8:11). But here that word has been received into the heart, and has converted him that received it into a new creature, a "child of the kingdom," according to that saying of James (Luke 8:11- :), "Of His own will begat He us with the word of truth, that we... read more

38. The tares are the children of the wicked one—As this sowing could only be "while men slept," no blame seems intended, and certainly none is charged upon "the servants"; it is probably just the dress of the parable. read more

C. Adaptations because of Israel’s rejection of Jesus 13:1-53"The die is cast. The religious leaders have openly declared their opposition to their Messiah. The people of Israel are amazed at the power of Jesus and His speech, but they fail to recognize Him as their King. Not seeing the Messiahship of Jesus in His words and works, they have separated the fruit from the tree. Because of this opposition and spiritual apathy, the King adapts His teaching method and the doctrine concerning the... read more

IV. THE OPPOSITION TO THE KING 11:2-13:53Chapters 11-13 record Israel’s rejection of her Messiah and its consequences. Opposition continued to build, but Jesus announced new revelation in view of hardened unbelief."The Evangelist has carefully presented the credentials of the king in relationship to His birth, His baptism, His temptation, His righteous doctrine, and His supernatural power. Israel has heard the message of the nearness of the kingdom from John the Baptist, the King Himself, and... read more
