Context of Matthew 13:37
35That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. 36Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us the meaning of the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one ; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

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