Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tō agro autou {ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ | en tō a-grō̂ au-toû} ‘in his field’ locates the action and marks possession through autou. In English, the passive “was likened” is rendered as “is like” to maintain idiomatic parabolic style while keeping the underlying comparative force, and verbal aspect is conveyed through simple past for the narrative frame (“set,” “told”) and present-like comparison inside the quotation (“is like”).
