Matthew 13:37

37 qui respondens ait qui seminat bonum semen est Filius hominis

Matthew 13:37 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 13:37

He answered and said unto them
Being very ready to answer their request, and willing to communicate spiritual knowledge to them; thereby showing great condescension, and humility in himself, and great affection to them:

he that soweth the good seed, is the son of man;
he that is signified by the man that sowed good seed in his field, is "the son of man"; by whom he means himself, the seed of the woman; and the son of David; who being anointed with the Holy Ghost without measure, went about Judea and Galilee, preaching the everlasting Gospel, to the conversion of sinners, thereby making them good seed; though this may be understood of him, as including his apostles and ministers, whom he makes use of as instruments for the good of souls, by preaching the Gospel.

36 tunc dimissis turbis venit in domum et accesserunt ad eum discipuli eius dicentes dissere nobis parabolam zizaniorum agri

37 qui respondens ait qui seminat bonum semen est Filius hominis

38 ager autem est mundus bonum vero semen hii sunt filii regni zizania autem filii sunt nequam

39 inimicus autem qui seminavit ea est diabolus messis vero consummatio saeculi est messores autem angeli sunt
