34. Jesus said all these things to the crowds in parables. And without a parable He did not speak to them,
35. to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying: “I will open My mouth in parables;I will say things which have been kept secret since the foundation of the world.”
36. Then Jesus sent the crowds away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
