JESUS TEACHES BY PARABLES. ( = Mark 4:1-34; Luk 8:4-18; Luk 13:18-20). (Mat. 13:1-52)
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the seaside. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The sea-side - This was the Sea of Tiberias. The multitude stood on the shore near to him, so that he could be easily heard. He went into a ship - that is, a boat; and sat down to address them. Few spectacles could be more interesting than a vast crowd on the hanks of a smooth and tranquil sea - an emblem of his instructions - and the Son of God addressing them on the great interests of eternity. |

Mar 4:1; Luk 8:4. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The same day - Our Lord scarcely ever appears to take any rest: he is incessant in his labors, and instant in season and out of season; and in this he has left all his successors in the ministry an example, that they should follow his steps: for he who wishes to save souls will find few opportunities to rest. As Satan is going about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, the messenger of God should imitate his diligence, that he may counteract his work. The gospels are journals of our Lord's life.
Went Jesus out of the house - This was the house of Peter. See Mat 17:24.
Sat by the sea side - The sea of Galilee, on the borders of which the city of Capernaum was situated. |
18 Then [1161] said he [3004], Unto what [5101] is [2076] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] like [3664]? and [2532] whereunto [5101] shall I resemble [3666] it [846]?
19 It is [2076] like [3664] a grain [2848] of mustard seed [4615], which [3739] a man [444] took [2983], and cast [906] into [1519] his [1438] garden [2779]; and [2532] it grew [837], and [2532] waxed [1096] [1519] a great [3173] tree [1186]; and [2532] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] lodged [2681] in [1722] the branches [2798] of it [846].
20 And [2532] again [3825] he said [2036], Whereunto [5101] shall I liken [3666] the kingdom [932] of God [2316]?
4 And [1161] when much [4183] people [3793] were gathered together [4896], and [2532] were come [1975] to [4314] him [846] out of every [2596] city [4172], he spake [2036] by [1223] a parable [3850]:
5 A sower [4687] went out [1831] to sow [4687] his [846] seed [4703]: and [2532] as [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598]; and [2532] it was trodden down [2662], and [2532] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] devoured [2719] it [846].
6 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] upon [1909] a rock [4073]; and [2532] as soon as it was sprung up [5453], it withered away [3583], because [1223] it lacked [3361] [2192] moisture [2429].
7 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] among [1722] [3319] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprang up with it [4855], and choked [638] [1970] it [846].
8 And [2532] other [2087] fell [4098] on [1909] good [18] ground [1093], and [2532] sprang up [5453], and bare [4160] fruit [2590] an hundredfold [1542]. And when he had said [3004] these things [5023], he cried [5455], He that hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
9 And [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], What [5101] might [1498] this [3778] parable [3850] be [1498]?
10 And [1161] he said [2036], Unto you [5213] it is given [1325] to know [1097] the mysteries [3466] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316]: but [1161] to others [3062] in [1722] parables [3850]; that [2443] seeing [991] they might [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] hearing [191] they might [4920] not [3361] understand [4920].
11 Now [1161] the parable [3850] is [2076] this [3778]: The seed [4703] is [2076] the word [3056] of God [2316].
12 Those [1161] by [3844] the way side [3598] are [1526] they that hear [191]; then [1534] cometh [2064] the devil [1228], and [2532] taketh away [142] the word [3056] out of [575] their [846] hearts [2588], lest [3363] they should believe [4100] and be saved [4982].
13 [1161] They on [1909] the rock [4073] are they, which [3739], when [3752] they hear [191], receive [1209] the word [3056] with [3326] joy [5479]; and [2532] these [3778] have [2192] no [3756] root [4491], which [3739] for [4314] a while [2540] believe [4100], and [2532] in [1722] time [2540] of temptation [3986] fall away [868].
14 And [1161] that which fell [4098] among [1519] thorns [173] are [1526] they [3778], which, when they have heard [191], go forth [4198], and [2532] are choked [4846] with [5259] cares [3308] and [2532] riches [4149] and [2532] pleasures [2237] of this life [979], and [2532] bring [5052] no [3756] fruit to perfection [5052].
15 But [1161] that on [1722] the good [2570] ground [1093] are [1526] they [3778], which [3748] in [1722] an honest [2570] and [2532] good [18] heart [2588], having heard [191] the word [3056], keep [2722] it, and [2532] bring forth fruit [2592] with [1722] patience [5281].
16 [1161] No man [3762], when he hath lighted [681] a candle [3088], covereth [2572] it [846] with a vessel [4632], or [2228] putteth [5087] it under [5270] a bed [2825]; but [235] setteth [2007] it on [1909] a candlestick [3087], that [2443] they which enter in [1531] may see [991] the light [5457].
17 For [1063] nothing [3756] is [2076] secret [2927], that [3739] shall [1096] not [3756] be made [1096] manifest [5318]; neither [3761] any thing hid [614], that [3739] shall [1097] not [3756] be known [1097] and [2532] come [2064] abroad [1519] [5318].
18 Take heed [991] therefore [3767] how [4459] ye hear [191]: for [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192], to him [846] shall be given [1325]; and [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192] not [3361], from [575] him [846] shall be taken [142] even [2532] that which [3739] he seemeth [1380] to have [2192].
4 And [1161] when much [4183] people [3793] were gathered together [4896], and [2532] were come [1975] to [4314] him [846] out of every [2596] city [4172], he spake [2036] by [1223] a parable [3850]:
1 And [2532] he began [756] again [3825] to teach [1321] by [3844] the sea side [2281]: and [2532] there was gathered [4863] unto [4314] him [846] a great [4183] multitude [3793], so that [5620] he [846] entered [1684] into [1519] a ship [4143], and sat [2521] in [1722] the sea [2281]; and [2532] the whole [3956] multitude [3793] was [2258] by [4314] the sea [2281] on [1909] the land [1093].
24 And [1161] when they [846] were come [2064] to [1519] Capernaum [2584], they that received [2983] tribute [1323] money came [4334] to Peter [4074], and [2532] said [2036], Doth [5055] not [3756] your [5216] master [1320] pay [5055] tribute [1323]?
