SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:36–43: Jesus explained the parable of the weeds

In this section, Jesus explained the meaning of the parable of the weeds to his disciples. This parable shows God’s patience. Jesus announced that the kingdom of God had come, but not everyone accepted his message. However, God does not immediately destroy them. He permits people who do not follow him to live on the earth together with his people. They will live together until the day that God judges people. He will then separate them, bringing his people into heaven and throwing nonbelievers into hell.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The meaning of the weeds in the wheat

Jesus explains the meaning of the weeds to his disciples

This passage occurs only in Matthew.

13:37

He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

The One who sows: The Greek word that the BSB translates as One is masculine. It refers to the man of 13:24c.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

The man who sowed (GNT)

The one who scattered (CEV)

The man who planted (NCV)

the good seed: You should translate this phrase in the same way as you did in 13:24c.

is: In this context, the word is indicates that the man in the parable represents Jesus.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

represents

is like

is compared to

the Son of Man: Here Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man. In some languages, it may be necessary to add the pronoun “I” to make it clear that Jesus was referring to himself. For example:

I, the Son of Man

This phrase also occurs in 12:40b. You should translate it here as you did there. For help in translating this phrase, see the note under 8:20b. See also Son of Man in KBT for more information.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Ὁ σπείρων τό καλόν σπέρμα ἐστίν ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

The word Now introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [And]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ σπείρων τὸ καλὸν σπέρμα ἐστὶν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

he the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Ὁ σπείρων τό καλόν σπέρμα ἐστίν ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Jesus speaks as if the one sowing were the Son of Man. He means that the sower represents or is like the Son of Man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or in another way. Alternate translation: [The one sowing the good seed represents the Son of Man] or [The one sowing the good seed should be interpreted as the Son of Man]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ καλὸν σπέρμα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Ὁ σπείρων τό καλόν σπέρμα ἐστίν ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Translate the phrase good seed as you did in [13:24](../13/24.md). Alternate translation: [the seed that sprouts into productive plants]

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

σπέρμα

seed

The word seed is singular in form, but it refers to many seeds as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: [seeds]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

he the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς εἶπεν Ὁ σπείρων τό καλόν σπέρμα ἐστίν ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Jesus speaks about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the first person. Alternate translation: [I, who am the Son of Man]
