SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:48
la cual estando llena, la sacaron a la orilla; y sentados, cogieron lo bueno en vasos, y lo malo echaron fuera.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 48. Which when, it was full , etc.] As the Gospel, and the Gospel church state may be said to be, when all the ends of the preaching of the word are answered; when all are called by the one, and into the other, that were designed to be called; when the fulness of the Gentiles shall be brought in, and all Israel shall be saved. They drew to the shore ; which will be done, when the end of the world comes; then will an end be put to the Gospel ministry, the net will be drawn to shore; the preaching of the Gospel will cease, and no more use be made of it: and sat down ; the ministers of the word having done their work, enter into the joy of their Lord, and rest from their labours: and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away ; as fishermen used to do; though this last office seems, by the application of the parable, to be what will be performed by angels; who, as many as they find to have a good work of grace wrought and finished in their souls, they will gather into Christs barn, into the everlasting habitations, the mansions in Christs Fathers house, he is gone to prepare: but as for the bad, who shall appear to be destitute of the grace of God, and righteousness of Christ, notwithstanding their profession of religion, they shall be rejected, as good for nothing, and shall be cast into the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 44-52 - Here are four parables. 1. That of the treasure hid in the field. Man slight the gospel, because they look only upon the surface of the field. But all who search the Scriptures, so as in them to find Chris and eternal life, Joh 5:39, will discover such treasure in this fiel as makes it unspeakably valuable; they make it their own upon an terms. Though nothing can be given as a price for this salvation, ye much must be given up for the sake of it. 2. All the children of me are busy; one would be rich, another would be honourable, another woul be learned; but most are deceived, and take up with counterfeits for pearls. Jesus Christ is a Pearl of great price; in having him, we have enough to make us happy here and for ever. A man may buy gold too dear but not this Pearl of great price. When the convinced sinner see Christ as the gracious Saviour, all things else become worthless to his thoughts. 3. The world is a vast sea, and men, in their natural state are like the fishes. Preaching the gospel is casting a net into thi sea, to catch something out of it, for His glory who has the sovereignty of this sea. Hypocrites and true Christians shall be parted: miserable is the condition of those that shall then be cas away. 4. A skilful, faithful minister of the gospel, is a scribe, wel versed in the things of the gospel, and able to teach them. Chris compares him to a good householder, who brings forth fruits of las year's growth and this year's gathering, abundance and variety, to entertain his friends. Old experiences and new observations, all have their use. Our place is at Christ's feet, and we must daily learn ol lessons over again, and new ones also.
