CommentJohn ChrysostomPublic domainMatthew 13:47–50

In the foregoing parables He has commended the Gospel preaching; now, that we may not trust in preaching only, nor think that faith alone is sufficient for our salvation, He adds another fearful parable, saying, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net cast into the sea.”
