Verse 1
Verse 1
Sea-side; the shore of the Sea of Tiberias.
Verse 11
Verse 11
Mysteries; truths before unknown.
Verse 15
Verse 15
Lest at any time, &c., that is, their eyes and ears were wilfully closed against the truth. The sentiment of this answer of our Savior's, the meaning of which is rendered still more plain by the parallel passages, (Mark 4:11,Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10,) is, that, while divine truth is so revealed that the docile and spiritually-minded, and all really desirous to learn of him, can easily understand it, yet it is so presented that the captious, the proud, and the evil-minded, may hear and not understand. A veil covers and conceals the spiritual meaning, though it is a veil easily to be removed by all who wish to remove it.
Verse 18
Verse 18
Hear ye; hear ye the explanation.
Verse 20
Verse 20
Anon; immediately.
Verse 21
Verse 21
Are offended; take offence at the gospel, and apostatize.
Verse 31
Verse 31
Mustard-seed. The mustard plant of Palestine is said to have been of much larger growth than the one known by that name among us.
Verse 33
Verse 33
The idea intended by both these similitudes is, that the Redeemer's kingdom, though destined to be great and widely extended at last, was to commence by small beginnings, and in a noiseless and unobtrusive manner,--entirely contrary to the prevailing expectations among the Jews.
Verse 36
Verse 36
The house; the house in which he dwelt in Capernaum.--Declare unto us; explain unto us.
Matthew 13:38-43. It would seem impossible to teach more plainly than it is taught in this language, that there is day of judgment and retribution to come, after this life is ended; and that those who shall then be condemned will find themselves involved in hopeless and eternal ruin.
Verse 52
Verse 52
Every scribe instructed, &c.; every well-instructed teacher of the gospel.
Verse 54
Verse 54
His own country; Nazareth.
Verse 55
Verse 55
His brethren; near relatives, perhaps cousins. The words signifying the various degrees of relationship were used among the Jews with great latitude. The reason for supposing the persons here referred to to be the cousins of our Lord, is that apparently the same person who is named in John 19:25, as our Savior's mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, is mentioned, in Matthew 27:56, as the mother of James and Joses.
