Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 13:36 In-Context

34 Jésus dit à la foule toutes ces choses en paraboles, et il ne lui parlait point sans parabole,

35 afin que s'accomplît ce qui avait été annoncé par le prophète: J'ouvrirai ma bouche en paraboles, Je publierai des choses cachées depuis la création du monde.

36 Alors il renvoya la foule, et entra dans la maison. Ses disciples s'approchèrent de lui, et dirent: Explique-nous la parabole de l'ivraie du champ.

37 Il répondit: Celui qui sème la bonne semence, c'est le Fils de l'homme;

38 le champ, c'est le monde; la bonne semence, ce sont les fils du royaume; l'ivraie, ce sont les fils du malin;
