13:24-30
Jesus then tells them another parable, this time the parable of the weeds. Some might have wondered why God doesn’t just zap all the bad people. This parable explains why.They might have wondered where the bad folk had all come from. The Law was good, how come then that there is so much evil? Jesus explains that the enemy had sown the weeds. Having accepted this the natural reaction was to pull up all the weeds. Jesus’s answer to this suggestion is no, because they might also uproot the good stuff as well. God is concerned with saving as well as judging. But there would come a time of distinction, this would happen at harvest time, then the weeds would be collected and burned, the wheat would be gathered in.
