The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one. The field is the world — not the church — which communicates that the parable addresses the mixture of the two kinds of people throughout the entire world, not only within the visible community of Jesus' followers. The sons of the kingdom and the sons of the evil one are the two populations, intertwined in the world until the harvest.
