📖🕯 Holy Bible - Matthew 13 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: The parable of the sower, The parable of the tares, The parables of the mustard-seed and the leaven, The parables of the hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, the net cast into the sea, and the householder, Jesus is again rejected at Nazareth.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "Christ taught in parables. Thereby the things of God were made more plain and easy to those willing to be taught, and at the same time more difficult and obscure to those who were willingly ignorant." ~ Matthew Henry

"The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God." ~ Psalm 14:2 (NIV)

📖 About the book: Matthew, surnamed Levi, before his conversion was a publican, or tax-gatherer under the Romans at Capernaum. He is generally allowed to have written his Gospel before any other of the evangelists. The contents of this Gospel, and the evidence of ancient writers, show that it was written primarily for the use of the Jewish nation. The fulfilment of prophecy was regarded by the Jews as strong evidence, therefore this is especially dwelt upon by Matthew. Here are particularly selected such parts of our Saviour's history and discourses as were best suited to awaken the Jewish nation to a sense of their sins; to remove their erroneous expectations of an earthly kingdom; to abate their pride and self-conceit; to teach them the spiritual nature and extent of the gospel; and to prepare them for the admission of the Gentiles into the church.
