The parable of the sower. (1-23) The parable of the tares. (24-30; 36-43) The parables of the mustard-seed and the leaven. (31-35) The parables of the hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, the net cast into the sea, and the householder. (44-52) Jesus is again rejected at Nazareth. (53-58)
Verses 1-23 Jesus entered into a boat that he might be the less pressed, and be the better heard by the people. By this he teaches us in the outward circumstances of worship not to covet that which is stately, but to make the best of the conveniences God in his providence allots to us. Christ taught in parables. Thereby the things of God were made more plain and easy to those willing to be taught, and at the same time more difficult and obscure to those who were willingly ignorant. The parable of the sower is plain. The seed sown is the word of God. The sower is our Lord Jesus Christ, by himself, or by his ministers. Preaching to a multitude is sowing the corn; we know not where it will light. Some sort of ground, though we take ever so much pains with it, brings forth no fruit to purpose, while the good soil brings forth plentifully. So it is with the hearts of men, whose different characters are here described by four sorts of ground. Careless, trifling hearers, are an easy prey to Satan; who, as he is the great murderer of souls, so he is the great thief of sermons, and will be sure to rob us of the word, if we take not care to keep it. Hypocrites, like the stony ground, often get the start of true Christians in the shows of profession. Many are glad to hear a good sermon, who do not profit by it. They are told of free salvation, of the believer's privileges, and the happiness of heaven; and, without any change of heart, without any abiding conviction of their own depravity, their need of a Saviour, or the excellence of holiness, they soon profess an unwarranted assurance. But when some heavy trial threatens them, or some sinful advantage may be had, they give up or disguise their profession, or turn to some easier system. Worldly cares are fitly compared to thorns, for they came in with sin, and are a fruit of the curse; they are good in their place to stop a gap, but a man must be well armed that has much to do with them; they are entangling, vexing, scratching, and their end is to be burned, ( Hebrews 6:8 ) . Worldly cares are great hinderances to our profiting by the word of God. The deceitfulness of riches does the mischief; they cannot be said to deceive us unless we put our trust in them, then they choke the good seed. What distinguished the good ground was fruitfulness. By this true Christians are distinguished from hypocrites. Christ does not say that this good ground has no stones in it, or no thorns; but none that could hinder its fruitfulness. All are not alike; we should aim at the highest, to bring forth most fruit. The sense of hearing cannot be better employed than in hearing God's word; and let us look to ourselves that we may know what sort of hearers we are.
24-30, 36-43 This parable represents the present and future state of the gospel church; Christ's care of it, the devil's enmity against it, the mixture there is in it of good and bad in this world, and the separation between them in the other world. So prone is fallen man to sin, that if the enemy sow the tares, he may go his way, they will spring up, and do hurt; whereas, when good seed is sown, it must be tended, watered, and fenced. The servants complained to their master; Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? No doubt he did; whatever is amiss in the church, we are sure it is not from Christ. Though gross transgressors, and such as openly oppose the gospel, ought to be separated from the society of the faithful, yet no human skill can make an exact separation. Those who oppose must not be cut off, but instructed, and that with meekness. And though good and bad are together in this world, yet at the great day they shall be parted; then the righteous and the wicked shall be plainly known; here sometimes it is hard to distinguish between them. Let us, knowing the terrors of the Lord, not do iniquity. At death, believers shall shine forth to themselves; at the great day they shall shine forth before all the world. They shall shine by reflection, with light borrowed from the Fountain of light. Their sanctification will be made perfect, and their justification published. May we be found of that happy number.
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 would 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 grace 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 who receive it. The leaven works certainly, so does the word, yet gradually. It works silently, and without being seen, ( Mark 4:26-29 ) , yet strongly; without noise, for so is the way of the Spirit, but without 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 made 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 and faculties of the soul, and alters the property even of the members of the body, ( Romans 6:13 ) . From these parables we are taught to expect a gradual progress; therefore let us inquire, Are we growing in grace? and in holy principles and habits?
Verses 44-52 Here are four parables. 1. That of the treasure hid in the field. Many 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 Christ and eternal life, ( John 5:39 ) , will discover such treasure in this field as makes it unspeakably valuable; they make it their own upon any terms. Though nothing can be given as a price for this salvation, yet much must be given up for the sake of it. 2. All the children of men are busy; one would be rich, another would be honourable, another would 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 sees 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 this 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 cast away. 4. A skilful, faithful minister of the gospel, is a scribe, well versed in the things of the gospel, and able to teach them. Christ compares him to a good householder, who brings forth fruits of last 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 old lessons over again, and new ones also.
Verses 53-58 Christ repeats his offer to those who have repulsed them. They upbraid him, Is not this the carpenter's son? Yes, it is true he was reputed to be so; and no disgrace to be the son of an honest tradesman; they should have respected him the more because he was one of themselves, but therefore they despised him. He did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. Unbelief is the great hinderance to Christ's favours. Let us keep faithful to him as the Saviour who has made our peace with God.
Matthew 13:1-52 . JESUS TEACHES BY PARABLES. ( = mark 1:1 4:1-34 , Luke 8:4-18 , 13:18-20 ).
Introduction ( Matthew 13:1-3 ).
1. The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship--the article in the received text lacks authority
and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore--How graphic this picture!--no doubt from the pen of an eye-witness, himself impressed with the scene. It was "the same day" on which the foregoing solemn discourse was delivered, when His kindred thought Him "beside Himself" for His indifference to food and repose--that same day retiring to the seashore of Galilee; and there seating Himself, perhaps for coolness and rest, the crowds again flock around Him, and He is fain to push off from them, in the boat usually kept in readiness for Him; yet only to begin, without waiting to rest, a new course of teaching by parables to the eager multitudes that lined the shore. To the parables of our Lord there is nothing in all language to be compared, for simplicity, grace, fulness, and variety of spiritual teaching. They are adapted to all classes and stages of advancement, being understood by each according to the measure of his spiritual capacity.
3. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, &c.--These parables are SEVEN in number; and it is not a little remarkable that while this is the sacred number, the first FOUR of them were spoken to the mixed multitude, while the remaining THREE were spoken to the Twelve in private--these divisions, four and three, being themselves notable in the symbolical arithmetic of Scripture. Another thing remarkable in the structure of these parables is, that while the first of the Seven--that of the Sower--is of the nature of an Introduction to the whole, the remaining Six consist of three pairs--the Second and Seventh, the Third and Fourth, and the Fifth and Sixth, corresponding to each other; each pair setting forth the same general truths, but with a certain diversity of aspect. All this can hardly be accidental.
First Parable: THE SOWER ( Matthew 13:3-9 Matthew 13:18-23 ).
This parable may be entitled, THE EFFECT OF THE WORD DEPENDENT ON THE STATE OF THE HEART. For the exposition of this parable,
Reason for Teaching in Parables ( Matthew 13:10-17 ).
10. And the disciples came, and said unto him--"they that were with Him, when they were alone" ( Mark 4:10 ).
Why speakest thou to them in parables?--Though before this He had couched some things in the parabolic form, for more vivid illustration, it would appear that He now, for the first time, formally employed this method of teaching.
11. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven--The word "mysteries" in Scripture is not used in its classical sense--of religious secrets, nor yet of things incomprehensible, or in their own nature difficult to be understood--but in the sense of things of purely divine revelation, and, usually, things darkly announced under the ancient economy, and during all that period darkly understood, but fully published under the Gospel ( 1 Corinthians 2:6-10 Ephesians 3:3-6 Ephesians 3:8 Ephesians 3:9 ). "The mysteries of the kingdom of heaven," then, mean those glorious Gospel truths which at that time only the more advanced disciples could appreciate, and they but partially.
but to them it is not serve the double purpose of revealing and concealing; presenting "the mysteries of the kingdom" to those who know and relish them, though in never so small a degree, in a new and attractive light; but to those who are insensible to spiritual things yielding only, as so many tales, some temporary entertainment.
12. For whosoever hath--that is, keeps; as a thing which he values.
to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance--He will be rewarded by an increase of what he so much prizes.
but whosoever hath not--who lets this go or lie unused, as a thing on which he sets no value.
from him shall be taken away even that he hath--or as it is in Luke ( Luke 8:18 ), "what he seemeth to have," or, thinketh he hath. This is a principle of immense importance, and, like other weighty sayings, appears to have been uttered by our Lord on more than one occasion, and in different connections. principle, we see it in operation everywhere, under the general law of habit; in virtue of which moral principles become stronger by exercise, while by disuse, or the exercise of their contraries, they wax weaker, and at length expire. The same principle reigns in the intellectual world, and even in the animal--if not in the vegetable also--as the facts of physiology sufficiently prove. Here, however, it is viewed as a divine ordination, as a judicial retribution in continual operation under the divine administration.
13. Therefore speak I to them in parables--which our Lord, be it observed, did not begin to do till His miracles were malignantly ascribed to Satan.
because they seeing, see not--They "saw," for the light shone on them as never light shone before; but they "saw not," for they closed their eyes.
and hearing, they hear not; neither do they understand--They "heard," for He taught them who "spake as never man spake"; but they "heard not," for they took nothing in, apprehending not the soul-penetrating, life-giving words addressed to them. In Mark and Luke ( 4:12 , Luke 8:10 ), what is here expressed as a human fact is represented as the fulfilment of a divine purpose--"that seeing they may see, and not perceive," &c. The explanation of this lies in the statement of the foregoing verse--that, by a fixed law of the divine administration, the duty men voluntarily refuse to do, and in point of fact do not do, they at length become morally incapable of doing.
14. And in them is fulfilled--rather, "is fulfilling," or "is receiving its fulfilment."
the prophecy of Esaias, which saith--( Isaiah 6:9 Isaiah 6:10 --here quoted according to the Septuagint).
By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, &c.--They were thus judicially sealed up under the darkness and obduracy which they deliberately preferred to the light and healing which Jesus brought nigh to them.
16. But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your cars, for they hear--that is, "Happy ye, whose eyes and ears, voluntarily and gladly opened, are drinking in the light divine."
17. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired--rather, "coveted."
to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them--Not only were the disciples blessed above the blinded just spoken of, but favored above the most honored and the best that lived under the old economy, who had but glimpses of the things of the new kingdom, just sufficient to kindle in them desires not to be fulfilled to any in their day. In Luke 10:23 Luke 10:24 , where the same saying is repeated on the return of the Seventy--the words, instead of "many prophets and righteous men," are "many prophets and kings"; for several of the Old Testament saints were kings.
Second and Seventh Parables or First Pair:
THE WHEAT AND THE TARES, and THE GOOD AND BAD FISH ( Matthew 13:24-30 Matthew 13:36-43 Matthew 13:47-50 ).
The subject of both these parables--which teach the same truth, with a slight diversity of aspect--is: THE MIXED CHARACTER OF THE KINGDOM IN ITS PRESENT STATE, AND THE FINAL ABSOLUTE SEPARATION OF THE TWO CLASSES.
The Tares and the Wheat ( Matthew 13:24-30 Matthew 13:36-43 ).
24, 36-38. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field--Happily for us, these exquisite parables are, with like charming simplicity and clearness, expounded to us by the Great Preacher Himself. Accordingly, we pass to: Matthew 13:36-38 .
25, 38, 39. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his
26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also--the growth in both cases running parallel, as antagonistic principles are seen to do.
27. So the servants of the householder came--that is, Christ's ministers.
and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?--This well expresses the surprise, disappointment, and anxiety of Christ's faithful servants and people at the discovery of "false brethren" among the members of the Church.
28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this--Kind words these from a good Husbandman, honorably clearing His faithful servants of the wrong done to his field.
The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?--Compare with this the question of James and John ( Luke 9:54 ), "Lord, wilt Thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume" those Samaritans? In this kind of zeal there is usually a large mixture of carnal heat. (See James 1:20 ).
29. But he said, Nay--"It will be done in due time, but not now, nor is it your business."
lest, while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them--Nothing could more clearly or forcibly teach the difficulty of distinguishing the two classes, and the high probability that in the attempt to do so these will be confounded.
30, 39. Let both grow together--that is, in the visible Church.
until the harvest--till the one have ripened for full salvation, the
and in the time of harvest I will say to the
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" ( Psalms 91:8 ).
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 Mustard Seed ( Matthew 13:31 Matthew 13:32 ).
31. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;
32. Which indeed is the least of all seeds--not absolutely, but popularly and proverbially, as in Luke 17:6 , "If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed," that is, "never so little faith."
but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs--not absolutely, but in relation to the small size of the seed, and in warm latitudes proverbially great.
and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof--This is added, no doubt, to express the amplitude of the tree. But as this seed has a hot, fiery vigor, gives out its best virtues when bruised, and is grateful to the taste of birds, which are accordingly attracted to its branches both for shelter and food, is it straining the parable, asks TRENCH, to suppose that, besides the wonderful growth of His kingdom, our Lord selected this seed to illustrate further the shelter, repose and blessedness it is destined to afford to the nations of the world?
The Leaven ( Matthew 13:33 ).
33. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened--This parable, while it teaches the same general truth as the foregoing one, holds forth, perhaps, rather the inward growth of the kingdom, while "the Mustard Seed" seems to point chiefly to the outward. It being a woman's work to knead, it seems a refinement to say that "the woman" here represents the Church, as the instrument of depositing the leaven. Nor does it yield much satisfaction to understand the "three measures of meal" of that threefold division of our nature into "spirit, soul, and body," alluded to in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 , or of the threefold partition of the world among the three sons of Noah ( Genesis 10:32 ), as some do. It yields more real satisfaction to see in this brief parable just the all-penetrating and assimilating quality of the Gospel, by virtue of which it will yet mould all institutions and tribes of men. and exhibit over the whole earth one "kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ."
34. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them--that is, on this occasion; refraining not only from all naked discourse, but even from all interpretation of these parables to the mixed multitude.
35. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying--( Psalms 78:2 , nearly as in the Septuagint).
I will open my mouth in parables, &c.--Though the Psalm seems to contain only a summary of Israelitish history, the Psalmist himself calls it "a parable," and "dark sayings from of old"--as containing, underneath the history, truths for all time, not fully brought to light till the Gospel day.
36-38. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field, &c.--In the parable of the Sower, "the seed is the word of God" ( Luke 8:11 ). But here that word has been received into the heart, and has converted him that received it into a new creature, a "child of the kingdom," according to that saying of James ( James 1:18 ), "Of His own will begat He us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures." It is worthy of notice that this vast field of the world is here said to be Christ's own--"His field," says the parable. (See Psalms 2:8 ).
38. The tares are the children of the wicked one--As this sowing could only be "while men slept," no blame seems intended, and certainly none is charged upon "the servants"; it is probably just the dress of the parable.
39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil--emphatically "His enemy" ( Matthew 13:25 ). (See Genesis 3:15 , 1 John 3:8 ). By "tares" is meant, not what in our husbandry is so called, but some noxious plant, probably darnel. "The tares are the children of the wicked one"; and by their being sown "among the wheat" is meant their being deposited within the territory of the visible Church. As they resemble the children of the kingdom, so they are produced, it seems, by a similar process of "sowing"--the seeds of evil being scattered and lodging in the soil of those hearts upon which falls the seed of the world. The enemy, after sowing his "tares," "went his way"--his dark work soon done, but taking time to develop its true character.
The harvest is the end of the world--the period of Christ's second coming, and of the judicial separation of the righteous and the wicked. Till then, no attempt is to be made to effect such separation. But to stretch this so far as to justify allowing openly scandalous persons to remain in the communion of the Church, is to wrest the teaching of this parable to other than its proper design, and go in the teeth of apostolic injunctions ( 1 Corinthians 5 ).
And the reapers are the angels--But whose angels are they? "The Son of man shall send forth His angels" ( Matthew 13:41 ). Compare 1 Peter 3:22 , "Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him."
41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom--to which they never really belonged. They usurped their place and name and outward privileges; but "the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners [abide] in the congregation of the righteous" ( Psalms 1:5 ).
all things that offend--all those who have proved a stumbling-block to others
and them which do iniquity--The former class, as the worst, are mentioned first.
42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire--rather, "the furnace of fire":
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth--What terrific strength of language--the "casting" or "flinging" expressive of indignation, abhorrence, contempt (compare Psalms 9:17 , Daniel 12:2 ): "the furnace of fire" denoting the fierceness of the torment: the "wailing" signifying the anguish this causes; while the "gnashing of teeth" is a graphic way of expressing the despair in which its remedilessness issues (see Matthew 8:12 )!
43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father--as if they had been under a cloud during the present association with ungodly pretenders to their character, and claimants of their privileges, and obstructors of their course.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear--(See Mark 4:9 ).
Fifth and Sixth Parables or Third Pair: THE HIDDEN TREASURE and THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE ( Matthew 13:44-46 ).
The subject of this last pair, as of the two former, is the same, but also under a slight diversity of aspect: namely--
THE PRICELESS VALUE OF THE BLESSINGS OF THE KINGDOM. And while the one parable represents the Kingdom as "found without seeking," the other holds forth the Kingdom as "sought and found."
The Hidden Treasure ( Matthew 13:44 ).
44. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field--no uncommon thing in unsettled and half-civilized countries, even now as well as in ancient times, when there was no other way of securing it from the rapacity of neighbors or marauders. ( Jeremiah 41:8 , Job 3:21 , Proverbs 2:4 ).
the which when a man hath found--that is, unexpectedly found.
he hideth, and for joy thereof--on perceiving what a treasure he had lighted on, surpassing the worth of all he possessed.
goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field--in which case, by Jewish law, the treasure would become his own.
The Pearl of Great Price ( Matthew 13:45 Matthew 13:46 ).
45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman, seeking goodly pearls.
46. Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it--The one pearl of great price, instead of being found by accident, as in the former case, is found by one whose business it is to seek for such, and who finds it just in the way of searching for such treasures. But in both cases the surpassing value of the treasure is alike recognized, and in both all is parted with for it.
The Good and Bad Fish ( Matthew 13:47-50 ).
The object of this brief parable is the same as that of the Tares and Wheat. But as its details are fewer, so its teaching is less rich and varied.
47. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind--The word here rendered "net" signifies a large drag-net, which draws everything after it, suffering nothing to escape, as distinguished from a casting-net ( mark 1:16 mark 1:18 ). The far-reaching efficacy of the Gospel is thus denoted. This Gospel net "gathered of every kind," meaning every variety of character.
48. Which, when it was full, they drew to shore--for the separation will not be made till the number of the elect is accomplished.
and sat down--expressing the deliberateness with which the judicial separation will at length be made.
and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away--literally, "the rotten," but here meaning, "the foul" or "worthless" fish: corresponding to the "tares" of the other parable.
49. So shall it be at the end of the world, said that each of these two parables holds forth the same truth under a slight diversity of aspect. What is that diversity? First, the bad, in the former parable, are represented as vile seed sown among the wheat by the enemy of souls; in the latter, as foul fish drawn forth out of the great sea of human beings by the Gospel net itself. Both are important truths--that the Gospel draws within its pale, and into the communion of the visible Church, multitudes who are Christians only in name; and that the injury thus done to the Church on earth is to be traced to the wicked one. But further, while the former parable gives chief prominence to the present mixture of good and bad, in the latter, the prominence is given to the future separation of the two classes.
51. Jesus saith unto them--that is, to the Twelve. He had spoken the first four in the hearing of the mixed multitude: the last three He reserved till, on the dismissal of the mixed audience, He and the Twelve were alone ( Matthew 13:36 , &c.).
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52. Then said he unto them, Therefore--or as we should say, "Well, then."
every scribe--or Christian teacher: here so called from that well-known class among the Jews. (See Matthew 23:34 ).
which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven--himself taught in the mysteries of the Gospel which he has to teach to others.
is like unto a man that is an householder which bringeth forth--"turneth" or "dealeth out."
out of his treasure--his store of divine truth.
things new and old--old truths in ever new forms, aspects, applications, and with ever new illustrations.
Matthew 13:53-58 . HOW JESUS WAS REGARDED BY HIS RELATIVES. ( = 6:1-6 , Luke 4:16-30 ).
53. And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54. And when he was come into his own country--that is, Nazareth; as is plain from Mark 6:1 . according to the majority of Harmonists, was the second of two visits which our Lord paid to Nazareth during His public ministry; but in our view it was His first and only visit to it. Luke 4:16-30 .
Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?--"these miracles." These surely are not like the questions of people who had asked precisely the same questions before, who from astonishment had proceeded to rage, and in their rage had hurried Him out of the synagogue, and away to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, to thrust Him down headlong, and who had been foiled even in that object by His passing through the midst of them, and going His way. But
55. Is not this the carpenter's son?--In Mark ( Mark 6:3 ) the question is, "Is not this the carpenter?" In all likelihood, our Lord, during His stay under the roof of His earthly parents, wrought along with His legal father.
is not his mother called Mary?--"Do we not know all about His parentage? Has He not grown up in the midst of us? Are not all His relatives our own townsfolk? Whence, then, such wisdom and such miracles?" These particulars of our Lord's human history constitute the most valuable testimony, first, to His true and real humanity--for they prove that during all His first thirty years His townsmen had discovered nothing about Him different from other men; secondly, to the divine character of His mission--for these Nazarenes proclaim both the unparalleled character of His teaching and the reality and glory of His miracles, as transcending human ability; and thirdly, to His wonderful humility and self-denial--in that when He was such as they now saw Him to be, He yet never gave any indications of it for thirty years, because "His hour was not yet come."
And his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? An exceedingly difficult question here arises--What were these "brethren" and "sisters" to Jesus? Were they, First, His full brothers and sisters? or, Secondly, Were they His step-brothers and step-sisters, children of Joseph by a former marriage? or, Thirdly, Were they cousins, according to a common way of speaking among the Jews respecting persons of collateral descent? On this subject an immense deal has been written, nor are opinions yet by any means agreed. For the second opinion there is no ground but a vague tradition, arising probably from the wish for some such explanation. The first opinion undoubtedly suits the text best in all the places where the parties are certainly referred to ( Matthew 12:46 ; and its parallels, 3:31 , Luke 8:19 ; our present passage, and its parallels, 6:3 , John 2:12 , John 7:3 John 7:5 John 7:10 , Acts 1:14 ). But, in addition to other objections, many of the best interpreters, thinking it in the last degree improbable that our Lord, when hanging on the cross, would have committed His mother to John if He had had full brothers of His own then alive, prefer the third opinion; although, on the other hand, it is not to be doubted that our Lord might have good reasons for entrusting the guardianship of His doubly widowed mother to the beloved disciple in preference even to full brothers of His own. Thus dubiously we prefer to leave this vexed question, encompassed as it is with difficulties. As to the names here mentioned, the first of them, "JAMES," is afterwards called "the Lord's brother" not to be confounded with "James the son of Alphæus," one of the Twelve, though many think their identity beyond dispute. This question also is one of considerable difficulty, and not without importance; since the James who occupies so prominent a place in the Church of Jerusalem, in the latter part of the Acts, was apparently the apostle, but is by many regarded as "the Lord's brother," while others think their identity best suits all the statements. The second of those here named, "JOSES" (or Joseph), must not be confounded with "Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus" ( Acts 1:23 ); and the third here named, "SIMON," is not to be confounded with Simon the Kananite or Zealot else mentioned in the New Testament. The fourth and last-named, "JUDAS," can hardly be identical with the apostle of that name--though the brothers of both were of the name of "James"--nor (unless the two be identical, was this Judas) with the author of the catholic Epistle so called.
58. And he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief--"save that He laid His hands on a few sick folk, and healed them" ( Mark 6:5 ).

You're in the car, on one of those summer road trips. Initially it's pretty fun, but after a while, the miles drag by. Everything looks the same. Same fast food joints, same strip malls, same gas stations. Same everything.
Then, in the distance, you see something odd. Something big. Something touristy, yet pretty freaky. It's a roadside attraction -- put there for only one reason: to get you to stop and buy something you don't need.
The best roadside attractions you know about already. The Cadillac Ranch outside of Amarillo, Texas. The Field of Dreams near Dyersville, Iowa. How about the World's Biggest Muskie in Hayward, Wis.? Or the Superman statue in Metropolis, Ill.? Gotta love 'em all.
But for our tastes, those are pretty pedestrian. Roadside attractions can, and do, get much weirder.
Hop in and ride along as we zig-zag the lower 48 to show you the 5 Freakiest Roadside Attractions. (We promise we won't make you buy anything. But feel free to look at the ads on the page.)
No. 5: Mike The Headless Chicken - Fruita, Colorado
You're driving east, through the Colorado Rocky Mountains, near Grand Junction. You're on Interstate 70. You pass the exit for Mack. You roll by Loma. Next stop: Fruita.
It's in this mountain hamlet where you'll see a 5-foot metal statue that recalls a legendary town fowl: Mike, The Headless Chicken.
Back in 1945, Mike was an actual bird that lived for 18 months with his noggin chopped off. How this bird wonder didn't flop down and die, mankind will never know.
Actually, Mike's owner, Lloyd Olsen, severed Mike's head off but missed his brain stem. Mike lived, with Olsen feeding the cluckster with an eyedropper. A legend was born.
Back in 2000, sculptor Lyle Nichols paid tribute to Mike's tenacity with the 300-pound statue right at the corner of Mulberry and Aspen. Touching, isn't it? Oh, and Mike also has an annual festival named in his honor. Yep, that's where visitors are invited to "party their heads off."
No. 4: World's Tallest Thermometer - Baker, California
You're driving northeast through California's Mojave Desert. You're on Interstate 15. You pass the exit for Adelanto. You zip through Barstow. Next stop: Baker.
Right in town, you see a huge tower. Actually, it's an electric sign flashing the day's temperature -- and billed as the World's Tallest Thermometer.
Why this? Why here? Well, back in 1913 -- July 10, to be exact -- nearby Death Valley recorded the ungodly temperature of 134 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a modern record in the United States.
So in 1991, a local businessman had the sign built to honor the record, and give drivers something to gape at while cruising through the "Gateway to Death Valley." Just how tall is it? An astounding 134 feet, to mark what the mercury zoomed to on that scorcher in 1913.
The three-sided tower is made from 33 tons of steel and features 5,000 lamps to make sure you know exactly how hot it is outside your air-conditioned vehicle. Your air conditioning is working, isn't it? Oh boy, you should have checked that before you left home.
No. 3: The Gemini Giant - Wilmington, Illinois
You're driving southeast, just leaving the outskirts of Chicago. You're on Interstate 55. Shorewood is in your rear-view mirror. So is Channahon. Next stop: Wilmington. That's where you'll meet someone who may just belong on another planet.
He is the Gemini Giant, and he guards the Launching Pad Drive-In on the northeast side of town on the world famous Route 66. This fiberglass freak is one of the few remaining "muffler man" statues, which could be seen all over the U.S. in the 1960s.
GG, known as the "space age muffler man," has stood the test of time in his green garb and snazzy helmet -- clutching that 8-foot rocket to nowhere.
GG stands 28 feet tall, and weighs 500 pounds. Gemini came to Wilmington in 1965 for a mere $3,500, and was shipped from Venice, Calif., on two flatbed trailers. What, he wasn't flown in? Someone has to "enhance" his origin! Anyway, $3,500 seems like a bargain. The silver in that helmet alone most cost a fortune! (Now, that's what you call enhancement.)
No. 2: The Jolly Green Giant - Blue Earth, Minnesota

Crochet Lace Bodycon Dress
Perfect Dress
I like this dress it's so pretty and beautiful, most importantly it is So comfortable to wear it. I thank bebe for making this dress larger yet fits so nicely, making it easier to put on and off yet still flattering. In the past I bought one was beautiful but find it hard to wear because the tightness. I like to see bebe making more of this length for cooler weather, the sexy and beautiful ones more, so far I am only able to collect only two because of the designs. Thanks to bebe anyway :)

Cheap looking
Not worth the money. I liked nothing about it. Returned it as soon as I could. :(
July 4, 2013
It's a No For Me
Liked it online but not in person. Returned asap. Material was thin & on the cheap side. I didn't care for the elastic type band on the bottom of the dress, looked cheap. Also something about the length & the way the 2 pieces were sown together wasn't appealing to me. But the biggest reason was the over powering chemical smell that the dress had. I even tried to air it out but the smell was still strong. Wouldn't be able to wear it out.
June 18, 2013
Love it !
This dress is beautiful. Love the material and fit of it. It looks classy but sexy at the same time.
May 14, 2013
Looks nothing like the picture
Looks and feels cheap. Fit weird and was not well made dress. I had a friend try it on who was flat chested and it made no difference.
April 12, 2013
'Trouble' ;)
After a few dates I wore this number...he saw me an nicknamed me 'Trouble' after this one, lol!
It is your typical tight club dress but with a super fresh Spring update. Looks great with olive complexions and/or a tan...rock some nude strappy stilettos and you are ready for spring/summer pretty without trying to hard AND you'll still have his heart racing ;)

Check out our top holiday casserole recipes featuring all the side dishes you need from green beans and broccoli to corn and potatoes.
Cheddar-Pecan Green Bean Casserole
Warm, bubbly casseroles are always a hit at holiday gatherings. If you're looking to take your classic green bean casserole to a new level, add cheddar cheese and pecans. Plus, we found that mixing Japanese breadcrumbs (panko) and French fried onions makes for a crisp, less greasy topping.Zesty Broccoli Casserole
Take traditional broccoli casserole to new heights with sharp Cheddar cheese, water chestnuts, and a panko topping. "This recipe is incredible," raves reviewer Erindipity75. "My husband swore it overshadowed the roast chicken and potatoes I served it with." If your grocery store doesn't carry panko, check with a local seafood market, or substitute regular breadcrumbs.Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole
Everything you love about a loaded baked potato—bacon bits, sour cream, and cheese—are right here in this hearty casserole. It serves 12 and is a great choice for holiday meals.Corn Fritter Casserole
This moist, sweet-savory side dish is a cross between corn bread and corn pudding. You can use 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels in place of the canned corn, if you prefer.Hash Brown Casserole
This simple hash brown casserole features a buttery cornflake crust and is a favorite side for both casual family gatherings and holiday celebrations.Squash-Rice Casserole
Easy to prepare and rich in flavor, this casserole pairs well with roasted chicken, ham, or pork chops.Green Bean Casserole
Go beyond the standard "recipe on the can" casserole by adding Alfredo sauce instead of cream of mushroom soup, water chestnusts, Parmesan cheese and toasted pecans.Potluck Potato Casserole
The crunchy topping on this side-dish casserole gives way to a cheesy interior, resulting in a comfort food winner. A bonus with this dish is that you can make the casserole ahead--assemble and refrigerate it until time to bake.Classic Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes
Ideal for entertaining, this creamy potato casserole features thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes baked in whipping cream and topped with Parmesan cheese.Three-Cheese Pasta Bake
The combination of cheeses—white cheddar, parmesan, and Gruyère—give this dish its rich flavor. The pasta makes an ideal side dish during the holidays.Wild Mushroom-and-Sweet Potato Gratin
Chanterelle mushrooms and fontina cheese contribute a delicate, nutty flavor that contrasts nicely with sweet potatoes in this dish. Serve with roasted pork loin or ham.Creamy Grits Casserole
This buttery, two-cheese casserole featuring one of the South's favorite foods is a must for holiday brunches or to serve at dinner with shrimp or ham.Potato-Apple Gratin
Cook outside the casserole box with this inventive gratin. Granny Smith apples lend seasonal flavor, while plenty of Swiss and Parmesan cheeses make this dish a savory indulgence that all your guests are sure to love.Cheesy Squash Casserole
Enjoy all the flavor of savory squash casserole without the guilt! Reviewer Kim writes, "We used this in place of my mother's classic squash casserole for Christmas dinner and it was excellent! Tasted very similar to her much higher-fat recipe, and even she had to admit that it was very good."Macaroni and Cheese
Layer cooked macaroni with butter, milk, two kinds of cheese, and a little cayenne for a spicy kick. Assemble this casserole ahead of time and bake when ready to serve. User Alex suggests cooking it a little longer than suggested if you like the edges to get crispy and browned.Au Gratin Potato Casserole
Creamy meets crunchy in this classic potato casserole. It's simple and can be prepared ahead of time and baked while you finish prepping the rest of the holiday meal. Reviewer Llsuraven recalls, "I tried this recipe at Thanksgiving and everyone in my family LOVED it. I am doing it again this Christmas...but I am adding water chestnuts to it!"Sweet Potato Casserole
Creamy sweet potatoes topped with gooey marshmallows and crunchy cornflakes make this casserole a sweet holiday favorite. Reviewer HBD2YHBD2Y recommends assembling the casserole the day before and adding the toppings just before cooking.Brussels Sprouts-and-Rice Casserole
Baking vegetables into a casserole usually makes them more appealing to kids (and adults!), and this Brussels sprouts recipe is no exception: "Wow! Fantastic!" raves reviewer Bostonsmaman. "We're not normally Brussels sprouts fans, but this dish was GONE!" Like the other casseroles, this dish can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen, then baked the day of your gathering.Easy Corn Casserole
The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity. All you'll need to do is combine the six ingredients in a bowl, pour the mixture into a baking dish, and bake it for 45 minutes. Reviewer Wanda raves, "Surely lives up to its name—couldn't be easier! Nothing to measure, just mix everything together and bake it! Will definitely make again...and it will probably become a Thanksgiving staple, too."Mashed Potato Casserole
Upgrade your go-to mashed potato recipe without adding any fuss. Start with frozen mashed potatoes and add eggs, cream cheese, onion, and pimientos, then bake. Top the hot casserole with cheddar cheese and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted.Home-style Green Bean Casserole
This essential holiday casserole gets a much-needed makeover from fresh veggies and a lightened, but super-rich homemade sauce.Squash Casserole
Why limit French fried onions to green bean casserole? We love them on this cheesy squash casserole, too.

text: Love these shoes! It's like running on a cloud:) I use them to run about 3 mi loop trails with rocks and slick bridges. I can definitely feel the difference in grip between these and my old road running shoes. I feel more confident that I will not slip in my all out rush. Very lightweight shoe with good cushion between me and the rough trail terrain. I did get a pretty nasty blister on my toe one time when I wore cotton socks. As long as I wear synthetic running socks I do not have this problem. I have used the shoes about 15 or more times since purchasing them and they have held up well so far. I would definitely recommend these shoes to any trail runner!

Comments about Numa Print:
I have several pairs of Teva sandals. Over the years my feet have changed as have my needs in a shoe/sandal. I needed to replace another old navy paid (not Teva) and this was the only one sandal in this color. My other Teva's are all 9 1/2 but this one only came in full sizes. I took the 10 and it works but it does feel a tad big overall. The comfort level at the ball and toe areas is just not there compared to some other styles Teva offers. They are okay and will work for my needs but these are not something I could wear all day like some others. The heel cushion is good due to the extra cushioning in that area and the design with the cup.The adjustment in the straps doesn't really allow you to adjust that much which if you need it tighter across an area. Looser shouldn't be too much of an issue but when you look at the straps, they are really meant to be exactly where there are or the they look a bit funny exposing the Velcro or hanging over if you can get them tighter. The color that is showing on the website is spot on -at least on my computer it is.

Comments about Numa Print:
The first pair I had for about two months before the catastrophic failure of the upper strap. The reason this factor did not lower the rating is because of what was behind the failure. While I was away on a job interview. I left these excellent sandals behind and within reach of my 1 year old Border Collie. She made short work of the upper strap, which rendered the sandal unusable. Because I loved them so much, I went to the same retailer and I bought the same pair.
I have wide feet and with these sandals, I can adjust the straps to fit me. The same could be said for people with narrow feet. The straps are completely adjustable. These sandals are so comfortable that I barely notice them when they're on. I wear them anytime it is warm/hot out and when a lot of walking is required. These sandals are just as comfortable as my tennis shoes. Truly, I do love them!

Unfortunately, this sandal doesn't come in 1/2 sizes, but I wear an 8 1/2 in your old style Zilch but an 8 in the even older style 6328 (don't remember the name). Should I order a size up or a size down? Thanks!Asked on 2/21/2014 by Dana from Chattanooga2 answers
Go with a size bigger. The multiple closures of the shoe allow you to "down size" it to your foot. Works for me!Answered on 2/25/2014 by caseypenn from kona, hiCUSTOMER CARE

Take flights to Gothenburg for canal-side walks, hand-blown glassware and Sweden's finest fine arts.
Things to do
Stately shade trees and brightly coloured flower boxes adorn the streets around Götaplatsen, a quaint 1920s-era city square. After flights to Gothenburg, photograph the plaza's splashing fountain statue of Poseidon, surrounded by Gothenburg's impressive Art Museum, Municipal Theatre and Concert Hall.
Travel to the café-lined Nordstan district or the shaded boulevard Kungsportsavenyn to pick up souvenirs from your Gothenburg city break – colourful woollen sweaters, brightly painted ceramics and delicate hand-blown glassware.
Sweden's most decorated chefs staff the kitchens in Gothenburg, dishing up steaming plates of grilled salmon and zander followed by lighter-than-air cheesecake with cloudberries. Relax under a canopy of trees at cosy cafés in the cobbled streets of the Haga district.
Toast your holiday in Gothenburg with a glass of Swedish punsch, a sweet, anise-flavoured spirit. Swedes head to the city's Centrum, or downtown, for brisk, big-city nightlife and loads of people-watching – chic bars, lively dance clubs and modern jazz joints.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Gothenburg. Plan a city break during the Gothenburg Culture Festival in August, Sweden's largest outdoor festival. In December Gothenburg opens its traditional Christmas market at Liseberg Amusement Park.

Laura Shurr-Blaney wins Porter County Commission seat over Mike Heinold
By Amy Lavalley Post-Tribune correspondent November 6, 2012 6:20PM
Laura Shurr Blaney. | Provided Photo~Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 8, 2012 6:22AM
VALPARAISO — Democrat Laura Shurr Blaney took a clear lead over Republican Mike Heinold in the race for Porter County's South County Board of Commissioners seat.
Both candidates stressed how best to handle the proceeds from the sale of former county hospital, and job creation.
Blaney, 44, an at-large member of the Porter County Council from Porter Township, also served on the county council in 2005 and 2006. She is a former biology and chemistry instructor who used to own the Kelsey's steak houses in Valparaiso and Portage with her husband, Ken.
"'I'm looking forward to it," Blaney said of her upcoming term as a commissioner, adding she is excited to be working with John Evans, R-North, who was unopposed in his reelection bid for a fourth term, and Nancy Adams, R-Center. She will replace Carole Knoblock, who did not seek another term.
Blaney said she hopes the bipartisan commissioners can improve their relationship with the county council. "I think they need to figure out how to cooperate better. Having been on both sides, I hope to bridge the gap," she said.
Heinold, 45, of Morgan Township, was making his first run for office. He owns an information technology company; he and his family formerly owned Heinold Feeds. His father is former State Sen. Vic Heinold. He was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated in Valparaiso a week and a half ago.
The president of the commissioners makes $39,491; the other two draw $35,411. They also have the option of taking health benefits worth $17,290.

Elitist, inevitably; flattering to yuppie narcissism, check; but in Tasmania, utterly necessary. For much of its modern history, Tasmania has been content to molest itself for the commodity buck. In the north, the mountains around Queenstown are a moonscape, thanks to decades of copper smelting. One of Tasmania's largest industries is still logging; and to the horror of environmentalists around the globe, Tasmania's old-growth forests are logged by clear-cutting and burning, only to be turned into wood chips. After a huge swath of forest has been cut, the largest logs are removed; the remaining scrub is lit on fire with liquefied diesel gel, better known as napalm. The ground is then seeded with eucalyptus. Poisoned carrots are scattered to kill off any wildlife—possums, wallabies, wombats, quolls, and potoroos—that might eat the seedlings. In the northwest, I saw the legacy of logging with my own eyes: in the middle of a dense tangle of primeval forest, blue gum trees stand in rows, like obedient schoolchildren.
Here artisanal food and ecotourism are more than trendy sensualism: they're competitors to the island's extractive industries, industries rooted in a thoroughly unsensual worldview. Prisoners, of course, ate nothing but duff, hog peas, and suet; but even affluent settlers were incorrigibly English. Some of them built their Georgian houses pointed to the south, even though in the Southern Hemisphere the sun is to the north. The Anglo-Saxon mind-set only started to give way in the 1950's, when, thanks to newly relaxed immigration laws, continental Europeans arrived in greater numbers. They noticed immediately what their predecessors had missed: Tasmania's climate was a near-perfect facsimile of the Mediterranean's. The first modern Tasmanian grapevines were planted in backyards, by Italians; a wine industry slowly began to develop, followed by specialty cheeses, nuts and fruits.
If ever there were an antidote to a brutish past, it is Annie Ashbolt, a radiant woman in her forties. "The early olive farmers in the midlands were all Greek and Italian immigrants," she tells me over coffee in Hobart. In the early eighties, her husband, Robert, began managing his family's farm. Only a decade earlier, Robert's grandfather had been paid by the government to uproot his old-growth apple trees. "Corporate farming was taking over Australia," says Annie. She and Robert were determined to stem the industrial tide and return the farm to its small-scale roots, planting groves of olive and elder-flower trees. They now produce a beautiful olive oil, fruity and raw with notes of mown grass and apple. It is widely regarded as one of Australia's best.
The story she told me I heard over and over from the island's small producers: we're a raging success; we can't keep up with demand; we're barely hanging on. Production costs are high, regulations stack the deck against the boutique producer, and, in recent years, climate change has aggravated the vagaries of Tasmania's fickle weather. After our coffee, Annie walked me back to my car. She spoke breathlessly about Tasmania's future. "We are too isolated to compete in the commodity marketplace. We have to value-add." But the island's humility is deeply ingrained. Tasmania is a paradise, Annie believes, complete unto itself but for one thing: sufficient self-respect to recognize itself as such.
At the opposite extreme of commodity agriculture lies terroir, the semimystical French idea of soil, air, and climate as they express themselves in grapes, and subtly imprint a wine with the character of a place. The Tasmanian wine industry aspires to cultivate the island's unique terroir, without giving an inch to the byzantine snobberies of the French. Nonetheless, it is a premium wine industry, the cool-climate, small-scale answer to a mainland famous for warm-climate Shiraz and the industrial plonk known as Yellow Tail. In the south, Pauillac-style wines thrive, like the firm-shouldered Cabernets of the Domaine A vineyard. Halfway up the coast is Apsley Gorge, where Brian Franklin, Tasmania's most committed Burgundian, makes a gorgeous Pinot Noir in a repurposed fish factory. (In season, Franklin, a former abalone diver, will catch and grill you a fresh seafood feast to blow your mind.) But my favorite stop along the Tasmanian wine trail was Meadowbank Estate, a temple to the progress the island's wine industry has made over the past 30 years.
Meadowbank's cellar is an open-plan building with massive windows overlooking the vineyards of the Coal River Valley and the glinting blue-black estuaries of Barilla Bay. Inside, all is crisp, lightsome, easygoing, and neat as a pin. Cathedral ceilings are strung with catwalks and Oregon-timber pillars that were once ballast for Tasmanian ships. Visiting Meadowbank on a blazing day in early spring, I met two of Tasmania's wine-making pooh-bahs, Andrew Hood and Tony Scherer. Hood is the dean of Tasmanian winemakers, the man responsible for designing many of the island's finest Pinots. He is 59, snowy-haired, and for an Aussie, very English. Scherer, a rangy American in work boots and dungarees, runs the vineyard at Frogmore Creek, Tasmania's most prominent organic vineyard. We sat down to an impeccably presented feast—roasted chicken in a soft polenta, seared scallops in a black pudding, cutlets of Flinders Island lamb, and the freshest oysters I have ever encountered—and as we ate, both men began to speak candidly about the state of Tasmanian wine.
