Matthew 13:35

Matthew 13:35

The Parable of the Leaven

33 ^aAnother parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three¹ measures of meal till ^bit was all leavened.”

Prophecy and the Parables

34 ^aAll these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,

35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
^a“I will open My mouth in parables;
^bI will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

The Parable of the Tares Explained

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38 ^aThe field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are ^bthe sons of the wicked one.

I will utter (ereucomai). To cast forth like a river, to gurgle, to disgorge, the passion of a prophet. From Psalms 19:2; Psalms 78:2. The Psalmist claims to be able to utter "things hidden from the foundation of the world" and Matthew applies this language to the words of Jesus. Certain it is that the life and teaching of Jesus throw a flood of light on the purposes of God long kept hidden (kekrummena).
