Lesson written by Nick Angel

MATTHEW CHAPTER 13

1. Chapter 13 is full of parables spoken by Jesus.  What does Jesus say the purpose of speaking in parables is in vv. 10-17?  Did Jesus speak the whole time in parables while by the sea?

 

 

2. Now that we (hopefully) know the purpose of these parables, let’s look at the parables individually and discuss the underlying message in each one. Please list your thought on each one below.

            1) Parable of the sower (vv. 3-9 & 18-23) *this one should be a freebie*

 

           

2) Parable of the wheat and the tares (vv. 24-30 & 36-43) *another freebie*

 

           

3) Parable of the mustard seed (vv. 31-32)

 

           

4) Parable of the hidden treasure (v.44)

 

           

5) Parable of the pearl of great price (vv. 45-46)

 

                       

6) Parable of the dragnet (vv. 47-52)

 

 

3. How was Jesus received when He returned to Nazareth?
