Exegesis
The genitive phrase ton zizanion tou agrou {τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ | tôn zi-za-ní-on toû a-groû} is a partitive or descriptive genitive, specifying which parable is meant: the one concerning “the weeds of the field.” The English renderings separate the long Greek sentence into clear clauses while preserving the temporal sequence (participial construction preceding the main verb) and the movement from public crowd to private circle of disciples seeking interpretation.
In context — Matthew 13:36
Then, after He had sent the crowds away, He went into the house, and His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
