Context of Matthew 13:37
35This was so that what was spoken through the prophet would be fulfilled: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will proclaim things hidden since the foundation of the world.” 36Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, 38and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil one; 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 36-43Verses 36-43 Declare unto us - That is, explain the meaning of the parable. This was done in so plain a manner as to render comment unnecessary.

The disciples of Jesus must learn patience and trust God’s timing.Read the comment
