Barnes New Testament Notes

By Albert Barnes

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 13 - Verse 16

Verse 16. Blessed are your eyes, etc. That is, you are happy that you are permitted to see truth which they will not see. You are permitted to understand the spiritual meaning of the parables, and in some degree the plan of salvation.

{f} "But blessed" Mt 16:17; Lu 10:23,24; Joh 20:29; 2 Co 4:6
