From BibleWiki
24: αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοις λεγων ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω σπειροντι σπειραντι καλον σπερμα εν τω αγρω αυτου
24: Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his
field:
24: Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of
heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field.
The kingdom of heaven is likened, etc. That is, the gospel resembles. The kingdom of heaven, See Barnes "Mt 3:2"
means here the effect of the gospel by its being preached. The meaning of this parable is plain. The field represents the world in which the gospel is preached. The good seed, the truths preached by Jesus and his apostles.
