“And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:”
Matthew 13:4 — Greek Interlinear
Church Fathers on Matthew 13:4
When He had rebuked him that told Him of His mother and His brethren, He then did according to their request; He departed out of the house, having first corrected His brethren for their weak desire of vainglory; He then paid the honour due to His mother, as it is said, 'The same day Jesus went forth out of the house, and not down by the sea aide.
By the words, 'The same day,' he sufficiently shews that these things either followed immediately upon what had gone before, or that many things could not have intervened; unless indeed 'day' here after the Scripture manner signifies a period.
For not only the Lord’s words and actions, but His journeyings also, and the places in which He works His mighty works and preaches, are full of heavenly sacraments.
