VER. 36.

Τότε ἀφεὶς τοὺς ὄχλους, ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ὁ Ἰησούς· καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, λέγοντες· Φράσον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ.

Then a Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away, Matt. xiv. 22. And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala, xv. 39. And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people, Mark vi. 45.

bHe answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given, 11. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? xv. 15, 16. And when he was entered into the

house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable, Mark vii. 17. Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me : and again, A little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy, John xvi. 17-20.

VER. 37.

̔Ο δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ὁ σπείρων τὸ καλὸν σπέρμα; ἔστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀyθρώπου.

A. D. 31.

He answered and said unto them, a He that soweth the good seed bis the Son of

man;

them, saying, the kingdom of heaven a Another parable put he forth unto is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. So the servants

of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 24. 27.

b The Son of man shall send forth

his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, 41. He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me, x. 40. When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some Elias: and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. He that heareth you xvi. 13-16. heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me, Luke x. 16. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me, John xiii. 20. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send Ï you, xx.

But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth, Acts i. 8. Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers, Rom. xv. 8. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase, 1 Cor. iii. 57. God, who at sundry times and in divers man

ners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Heb. i. 1. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him, ii. 3.

VER. 38.

Ὁ δὲ ἀγρὸς, ἔστιν ὁ κοσμὸς· Τὸ δὲ και λὸν σπέρμα, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας· Τὰ δὲ ζιζάνια, εἰσὶν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ που νηρού.

The a field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

a And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come, Matt. xxiv. 14. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. xxviii. 18-20. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark xvi. 15-20. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem, Luke xxiv. 47. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world, Rom. 1. 18. But now is made manifest, and

A. D. 31.

by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith, xvi. 26. Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth, Col. i. 6. And I saw another angel fy in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Rev. xiv. 6.

b A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation, Ps. xxii. 30. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand, Isa. liii.10. And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God, Hos. ii. 23. I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again, Zech. x. 8, 9. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God, John i. 12, 13. Verily, verily, Isay unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit, xii. 24. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together, Rom. viii. 17. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures, Jam. i. 18. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath

promised to them that love him? ii. 5. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever, 1 Pet. i. 23. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God, 1 John iii.

2.9.

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side, 19. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel, Gen. iii. 15. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it, John viii. 44. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? Acts xiii. 10. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things), Phil. iii. 18, 19. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil, 1 John iii. 8. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother, 10.

VER. 39.

The enemy that sowed them is the dethe harvest is the end of the world; cand the reapers are the angels.

a But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way, 25. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up, 28. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ, 2 Cor. xi. 3. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works, 13-15. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience, Eph. ii. 2. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, vi. 11, 12. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie, 2 Thess. ii. 8-11. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, 1 Pet. v. 8. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world : he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him,

Rev. xii. 9. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live, xiii. 14. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone, xix. 20. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled and after that he must be loosed a little season, xx. 2, 3. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever, 7-10.

b So shall it be at the end of the world the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among | the just, 49. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? xxiv. 3. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe, Rev. xiv.

in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory, Matt. xxv. 31. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened, Dan. vii. 10. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day, 2 Thess. i. 7— 10.

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints, Jude 14.

And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire, Heb. i. 6, 7. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? 14.

b So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 49. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! xviii. 7. Now, I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye

have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple, Rom. xvi. 17, 18. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

And

many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of, 2 Pet. ii. 1, 2.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity, Matt. vii. 22, 23. Then shall ye begin to say, we have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, Luke xiii. 26, 27. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath, Rom. ii. 8.

a See on clause 8. ver. 22. ch. v. b And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth, 50. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, viii. 12. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, xxii. 13. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out, Luke xiii. 28.

VER. 43.

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal, 46. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever, Dan. xii. 3. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption;
