[2] {Gentiles}
This too is most significant. The rejected King of Israel will turn
to the Gentiles (cf.)
# Mt 10:5,6
In fulfilment this awaited the official rejection, crucifixion, and
resurrection of Christ, and the final rejection of the risen Christ.
# Lu 24:46,47 Ac 9:15 13:46 28:25-28 Ro 11:11

[1] {The men of Nineveh}
Again the rejected King announces judgment (cf)
# Mt 11:20-24
Israel, in the midst of the Pharisaic revival of outward religious
strictness, was like a man out of whom a demon had "gone," i.e, of
his own volition. He would come back and find an empty house, etc.
The personal application is to a mere self-cleansed moralist.

[2] {While}
Rejected by Israel, His "kinsmen according to the flesh" (cf)
# Ro 9:3
our Lord intimates the formation of the new family of faith which,
overstepping mere racial claims, receives "whosoever" will be His
disciple.
# Mt 12:49,50 Joh 6:28,29

[1] {spake}
The seven parables of Mat 13., called by our Lord, "mysteries of the
kingdom of heaven" (v.11), taken together, describe the result of the
presence of the Gospel in the world during the present age, that is, the
time of seed sowing which began with our Lord's personal ministry, and
ends with the "harvest"
# Mt 13:40-43
Briefly, the result is mingled tares and wheat, good fish and bad, in
the sphere of Christian profession. It is Christendom.
[2] {sower}
The figure marks a new beginning. To labour in God's vineyard (Israel,
# Isa 5:1-7
is one thing, to go forth sowing the seed of the word in a
field which is the world, quite another (cf)
# Mt 10:5
One fourth of the seed takes permanent root, but the result is
"wheat"
# Mt 13:25 1Pe 1:23
or "children of the kingdom"
# Mt 13:38
This parable
# Mt 13:3-9,18-23
is treated throughout as foundational to the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven. It is interpreted by our Lord Himself.
