Notes

Matthew 13:28–30

Jesus rebuked the sons of Zebedee for wanting to destroy villages that did not believe in him (Luke 9:54–55). He told his disciples not to seek revenge against enemies. Judgment is God's responsibility (see Matthew 7:1–5). Jesus urges his disciples to wait patiently for God's righteous judgment ("the harvest"; see Luke 13:6–9).

Matthew 13:24–30

Matthew 13:36–43 explains this story.

Matthew 13:1–53

In the third major speech recorded by Matthew (see study note on Matthew 5:1–7:29), Jesus here recognized the separation of his followers from others (Matthew 13:14, 16). He began to reveal the secrets of the kingdom of heaven privately to them through parables.
