  • Exegesis Of Jesus In Matthew 13

    742 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Matthew 13, Jesus begins to teach with parables because he wants all to understand how to his disciples and that there is a clear division between his disciples and others, the sacrifice of the whole self, and that the disciples will have a universal influence (Mitch and Sri 174). Matthew 13:1 begins with "On that day" to note that Jesus spoke of these parables the same day he came in contact with the Pharisees in chapter 12 (Mitch and Sri 176). Then, Jesus left Peter 's house in Capernaum and "sat down" in front of the crowds near the Sea of Galilee (Mitch and Sri 176). The "sitting down" of Christ is repeated symbolizing the teaching position of a rabbi (Mitch and Sri 176). Astonishingly, Jesus had to go into a boat because the crowds were enormous, and Jesus wanted all to hear and see him (Mitch and Sri 176).

Matthew’s entire book is written for a Jewish Christian audience after the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed.
