Re: Matthew 13:44
I'm still kinda wondering if it is possible to have more than one interpretation to a parable.
Since in Matt. 13:18, Jesus gave only one interpretation of the parable of the sower.
And in Matt. 13:37, he gave only one interpretation to the parable of the tares of the field.
I don't recall ever reading a parable that Jesus told in which he explained that one particular parable to have multiple meanings.
Is it possible for there to be more than one interpretation, or in other words to mean more than one "picture" that the master is trying to paint.
If in this parable, the disciples would have said, "Lord, tell us the meaning of the parable of the hidden treasure",
Would Jesus have said "Which interpretation do you want to hear?"
Or would he have said, "Theres 2 (or more) interpretations (or meanings), here they are.
It looks to me like that would be extremely confusing to the disciples that were listening to the parable trying to figure out its meaning.
