SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:43
Entonces los justos resplandecern como el sol en el Reino de su Padre. El que tiene oídos para oír, oiga.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun , etc.] The time referred to is, when the tares shall be separated from the wheat: when they that offend and do iniquity, shall be gathered out of Christs kingdom; when the wicked shall be cast into hell: then the righteous, not who are so merely in their own apprehensions, and in the judgment of others; nor by their obedience, legal or evangelical; but who are made so, by the righteousness of Christ imputed to them: these, though they have been in this world loaded with reproaches, and attended with many afflictions and persecutions; and have been despised for their poverty and meanness, and want of outward glory, honour, riches, and prosperity; shall now shine forth in the robe of Christs righteousness, in perfect holiness of nature, in all felicity and prosperity of soul; and in the shining dazzling robes of glory, incorruption, and immortality, on their bodies; even as the sun , having no spot in them, or upon them, and without any clouds of darkness: they will be as Christ himself, the sun of righteousness, with whom, and in whose glory they shall appear, both in soul and body, in the kingdom of their father ; meaning either the same with the kingdom of Christ, the Fathers and his, being one and the same; or as distinct from Christs, (see Matthew 13:41) the church, and the government of it in this world, in all ages of time, and especially in the latter day, and during the thousand years, Christ and his saints shall reign together, may be peculiarly called the kingdom of Christ; when it will be delivered to the Father, and God shall be all in all: so that the ultimate glory may, though not to the exclusion of the Son, be styled the kingdom of the Father; of God, who is the Father of Christ and of his people; and which is observed, to assure the saints of their interest in it, right unto it, and certain enjoyment of it. Some copies read, the kingdom of heaven. Much the same images, here made use of, to set forth the glory of the saints, both in soul and body, in the world to come, are expressed by the Jews. The faces of the righteous, they say, in time to come, shall be hmjl twmwd , like to the sun, and moon, to the stars and planets, and lightnings, and lilies, and to the lamp of the sanctuary. And elsewhere they observe, that God in time to come, will beautify the body of the righteous, as the beauty of the first man, when he entered into paradise, according to ( Isaiah 58:11) and that the soul, whilst in its dignity, shall be sustained with the superior light, and be clothed with it; and when it shall enter into the body hereafter, it shall enter with that light; and then shall the body shine, [yqrh rhzk , as the brightness of the firmament: as is said in ( Daniel 12:3) And a little after it is said, that when the soul goes out, the body is left, which shall be there built again, amd arhnk , as the light of the sun, and as the brightness of the firmament. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear ; and seriously consider of the several things said in this parable, concerning the wheat and tares, the righteous and the wicked, as being matters of the greatest moment and importance.
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?

Vincent's NT Word Studies
43. Shine forth (eklamyousin). The compound verb with ejk, forth, is designedly used to express a dissipating of darkness which has hidden: a bursting into light. The righteous shall shine forth as the sun from behind a cloud. The mixture of evil with good in the world obscures the good, and veils the true glory of righteous character. Compare Dan. xii. 3.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
13:43 {Shine forth} (eklamyousin). Shine out as the sun comes from behind a cloud (Vincent) and drive away the darkness after the separation has come (cf. #Da 12:3).
