The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 13:51-58

Chapter 57 Parables Turned to Account Matthew 13:51-58 . Jesus Christ uttered a gospel which was meant to be understood. Do not create more mysteries than he himself created. Jesus Christ took his disciples, so to say, into co-partnery in divine teaching: this circumstance is never to be forgotten in estimating the value and force of the Christian argument. There is to be no needless mystery. Mystery comes as a necessity, and is not to be introduced by clever persons as a merely intellectual... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 13:53-58

"And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. (54) And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? (55) Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? (56) And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? (57)... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:55

Is not this the carpenter's son? [1] I find carpenter in all translations, though the Greek word signifies, in general, a workman or craftsman. The Latin is also a general word, which of itself signifies no more a carpenter than a smith. But the common belief of the faithful is, that St. Joseph was a carpenter, which may be confirmed by what Theodoret relates (lib. iii. Hist. chap. xviii.) of one Libanius, under Julian the apostate, who asking scornfully of a holy man, what the carpenter's son... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 13:53-58

53-58 Christ repeats his offer to those who have repulsed them. They upbraid him, Is not this the carpenter's son? Yes, it is true he was reputed to be so; and no disgrace to be the son of an honest tradesman; they should have respected him the more because he was one of themselves, but therefore they despised him. He did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. Unbelief is the great hinderance to Christ's favours. Let us keep faithful to him as the Saviour who has made our peace... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 13:1-99

Matthew 13 THIS CHAPTER OPENS with the fact that He proceeded to suit His actions to His words. He left the narrow confines of the house, and went forth to the open air and the sea the sea being symbolic of the nations. There He began to teach the multitude from a boat, using the parabolic method. This chapter contains seven parables. We will begin by noticing the expression He used in verse Mat_13:52 , “things new and old,” for this will help us as to the drift of the parables. Old things are... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 13:51-58

How Unbelief Hinders Matthew 13:51-58 God’s truth is always new and always old. It is as fresh as the morning breeze for each coming generation. But however stated, the fundamental facts are invariable. Let us store our minds and hearts with holy and helpful thoughts, so as to deal them out as the occasions serve. Compare Matthew 13:53 with Luke 4:16-30 . The question His townspeople put is stated a little differently in Mark 6:3 . Till He left home, at the age of thirty, for His baptism,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:1-58

This chapter contains the seven parables of the Kingdom. The reason for the parabolic teaching of Christ is set forth here. This first parable was spoken to the multitudes (verses Mat 13:2-3 ). Its explanation was given to the disciples only (verses Mat 13:10-18 ). "The word of the Kingdom" is the seed (verse Mat 13:19 ). The result is dependent on the one who hears, and on how he hears. The second parable was spoken to the multitudes (verse Mat 13:34 ). Its explanation was given to the... read more

Jesus Is Confirmed As The Son of God, Begins To Establish His New Congregation, Reaches Out To Gentiles, Is Acknowledged As Messiah By His Disciples, and Reveals His Inherent Glory (13:53-17:27). The advance of the Kingly Rule of Heaven leading up to the final consummation having been made clear by His parables Jesus is now confirmed as the Son of God (Matthew 14:33; Matthew 16:16; Matthew 18:26) and begins to establish a new open community (Matthew 14:13-21; Matthew 15:32-39; Matthew 16:18;... read more
