Bible Note: Greetings Saveinj, "He put another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field," Matthew 13:24 [ESV] Here is some insightful commentary concerning the word "field" in this verse.. "(2) This parable (vs. 24-30) is also interpreted by our Lord (vs. 36-43). Here the "good seed" is not the "word," as in the first parable (vs. 19, 23), but rather that which the word has produced (1 Peter 1:23), viz.: the children of the kingdom. These are, providentially (v. 37), "sown," i.e. scattered, here and there in the "field" of the "world" (v. 38). The "world" here is both geographical and ethnic- the earth-world, and also the world of men. The wheat of God at once becomes the scene of Satan's activity. ..."
