Matthew 13:36 ASV

³⁴  All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:

³⁵  that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

³⁶  Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

³⁷  And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

³⁸  and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil `one';
