Jesus continues to tell a large crowd of people different parables that describe what the kingdom of God is like.

## Jesus presented another parable to them ##

Jesus told another parable to the crowd of people.

## The kingdom of heaven is like a man ##

The translation should not equate the kingdom of heaven to a man, but rather the kingdom of heaven is like the situation described in the parable (see UDB).

## good seed ##

"good food seeds" or "good grain seeds." The audience probably thought that Jesus was talking about wheat. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

## his enemy came  ##

"his enemy came to the field."

## weeds ##

This can be translated "bad seed" or "weed seeds." These weeds look like food plants when they are young, but the grain is poison.

## When the blades sprouted ##

"when the wheat seeds sprouted" or "when the plants came up"

## brought forth their crop ##

"produced grain" or "produced the wheat crop"

## then the weeds appeared also  ##

Alternate translation: "then people could see that there were weeds in the field also."
