Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 13:35

Theological / Devotional

Might be fulfilled. See on ch. 1:22.

I will open my mouth. This quotation is from Ps. 78:2.

Kept secret. Paul speaks of “the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,” being “made manifest” by “the preaching of Jesus” (Rom. 16:25, 26). Elsewhere, he defines this “mystery” as “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:26, 27). It was “kept secret,” not because God was either unwilling or unprepared to reveal it, but because man was not ready to receive it.

Foundation. Gr. katabole, “a throwing down,” or “a laying down.”
