30, 39. Let both grow together —that is, in the visible Church. until the harvest —till the one have ripened for full salvation, the other for destruction. (See on Matthew 13:1 ). and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers —(See on Matthew 13:1- : ). Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them —"in the fire" ( Matthew 13:40 ). but gather the wheat into my barn —Christ, as the Judge, will separate the two classes (as in Matthew 25:32 ). It will be observed that the tares are burned before the wheat is housed; in the exposition of the parable ( Matthew 13:41 ; Matthew 13:43 ) the same order is observed: and the same in Matthew 25:46 —as if, in some literal sense, "with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked" ( Matthew 25:46- : ). Third and Fourth Parables or Second Pair: THE MUSTARD SEED and THE LEAVEN ( Matthew 13:31-33 ). The subject of both these parables, as of the first pair, is the same, but under a slight diversity of aspect, namely— THE GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM FROM THE SMALLEST BEGINNINGS TO ULTIMATE UNIVERSALITY. The Mustard Seed ( Matthew 13:31 ; Matthew 13:32 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-31" class="com-number"
