Centuries before Jesus gave the illustration of the wheat and the weeds, Jehovah inspired his prophet Malachi to foretell events that are reflected in Jesus ’ illustration.
قَبْلَ قُرُونٍ مِنْ إِعْطَاءِ يَسُوعَ مَثَلَ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَٱلزِّوَانِ ،‏ أَوْحَى يَهْوَهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ مَلَاخِي أَنْ يُنْبِئَ بِأَحْدَاثٍ تَرِدُ أَيْضًا فِي مَثَلِ يَسُوعَ .‏ ‏
