Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 13:34-36

"All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field." — Matthew 13:34-36 (ASV)

All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Then 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.

I again remind you that, whenever there is anything that you do not understand, the best way is to consult the Master concerning it.

If I read a book in which there is an obscure passage, and I can write to the author, and ask him what he means by it, I will most probably get to understand it. So, the best Expositor of the Word of God is the Spirit of God; therefore appeal to him whenever you are puzzled with anything that is taught in the Scriptures, and say to him, "Blessed Spirit, will you graciously expound to me this parable, this doctrine, this experience?" and he will do it, and so you will become wise unto salvation.
