Mateo 13:18 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 13:18

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
That is, the interpretation of the parable; for they had heard the parable before, and had desired an explanation of it; which, though not mentioned by Matthew, is, by the other evangelists, ( Mark 4:10 ) , ( Luke 8:9 ) and since it was given to them to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, therefore Christ calls upon them to attend unto, and hear, so as to understand the spiritual meaning of this parable. Mark relates, that he moreover said to his disciples at this time, "know ye not this parable?" Do ye not understand the meaning of it, so easy to be taken in? them as it were reproving for their dulness of hearing, notwithstanding the grace given them, and the advantages they enjoyed: "how then will ye know all parables?" all that he had delivered, or was about to deliver at this time, or should hereafter; which were of more difficult interpretation, and not so easy to be understood as this.

Mateo 13:18 In-Context

16 »Pero benditos son los ojos de ustedes, porque ven; y sus oídos, porque oyen.

17 Les digo la verdad, muchos profetas y muchas personas justas anhelaron ver lo que ustedes ven, pero no lo vieron; y anhelaron oír lo que ustedes oyen, pero no lo oyeron.

20 Las semillas sobre la tierra rocosa representan a los que oyen el mensaje y de inmediato lo reciben con alegría;
