Mateo 13:36 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 13:36

Then Jesus sent the multitude away
That his disciples might have the opportunity of conversing with him alone, about the sense of the parables he had delivered; and that he might instruct them by some others hereafter mentioned.

And went into the house:
left the ship in which he had been preaching to the multitude, came on shore, and returned to the house he came out of, ( Matthew 13:1 )

and his disciples came to him;
and being alone, make an humble request to him,

saying, declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field:
by which they mean, not a rehearsal of it, but an explication of the sense and meaning of it: they ask nothing about the parables of the mustard seed and leaven, either because they better understood them; or because there were some things very remarkable and striking in this, which made them very desirous to be particularly informed of the several parts of it, and their meaning.

Mateo 13:36 In-Context

34 Todo esto habló Jesús por parábolas á las gentes, y sin parábolas no les hablaba:

35 Para que se cumpliese lo que fué dicho por el profeta, que dijo: Abriré en parábolas mi boca; Rebosaré cosas escondidas desde la fundación del mundo.

36 Entonces, despedidas las gentes, Jesús se vino á casa; y llegándose á él sus discípulos, le dijeron: Decláranos la parábola de la cizaña del campo.

37 Y respondiendo él, les dijo: El que siembra la buena simiente es el Hijo del hombre;

38 Y el campo es el mundo; y la buena simiente son los hijos del reino, y la cizaña son los hijos del malo;
