Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
13:36-43 These verses are the interpretation of the parable told in 13:24-30. The people of the Kingdom (wheat) coexist with nonmembers (weeds) in the world (field) until the end of history. The mystery of the Kingdom is that it is present in the world without weeding out the wicked in judgment; Jesus’ disciples must learn patience. 13:36 They went into the house (see 13:1). Jesus taught in parables publicly, but the interpretations were reserved for his disciples in private. • Please explain: Though the disciples were privileged to know the mysteries of the Kingdom (13:11-17), they did not understand the parables until Jesus explained them.
