34. Jesus used stories when he spoke to the people. In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories.
35. So God's promise came true, just as the prophet had said,“I will use storiesto speak my messageand to explain thingsthat have been hiddensince the creationof the world.”
36. After Jesus left the crowd and went inside, his disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the story about the weeds in the wheat field.”
37. Jesus answered:The one who scattered the good seed is the Son of Man.
