SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:37
Y respondiendo l, les dijo: El que siembra la buena simiente es el Hijo del hombre;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. He answered and said unto them , etc.] Being very ready to answer their request, and willing to communicate spiritual knowledge to them; thereby showing great condescension, and humility in himself, and great affection to them: he that soweth the good seed, is the son of man ; he that is signified by the man that sowed good seed in his field, is the son of man; by whom he means himself, the seed of the woman; and the son of David; who being anointed with the Holy Ghost without measure, went about Judea and Galilee, preaching the everlasting Gospel, to the conversion of sinners, thereby making them good seed; though this may be understood of him, as including his apostles and ministers, whom he makes use of as instruments for the good of souls, by preaching the Gospel.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-35 - The scope of the parable of the seed sown, is to show that the beginnings of the gospel would be small, but its latter end woul greatly increase; in this way the work of grace in the heart, the kingdom of God within us, would be carried on. In the soul where grac truly is, it will grow really; though perhaps at first not to be discerned, it will at last come to great strength and usefulness. The preaching of the gospel works like leaven in the hearts of those wh receive it. The leaven works certainly, so does the word, ye gradually. It works silently, and without being seen, Mr 4:26-29, ye strongly; without noise, for so is the way of the Spirit, but withou fail. Thus it was in the world. The apostles, by preaching the gospel hid a handful of leaven in the great mass of mankind. It was mad powerful by the Spirit of the Lord of hosts, who works, and none can hinder. Thus it is in the heart. When the gospel comes into the soul it works a thorough change; it spreads itself into all the powers an faculties of the soul, and alters the property even of the members of the body, Ro 6:13. From these parables we are taught to expect gradual progress; therefore let us inquire, Are we growing in grace and in holy principles and habits?
