Barnes New Testament Notes

By Albert Barnes

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 13 - Verse 34

Verses 34,35. That it might be fulfilled. This is taken from Ps 78:2,3. The sense, and the very words of the Psalm, are given. Christ taught as did that prophet -- Asaph -- in parables. The words of Asaph described the manner in which Christ taught, and in this sense it could be said that they were fulfilled. See Barnes "Mt 1:22,23".

{x} "in parables" Mr 4:33
