Matthew 13:36-43
36 |
Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field." |
37 |
He answered and said to them: "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. |
38 |
The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. |
39 |
The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. |
40 |
Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. |
41 |
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, |
42 |
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. |
43 |
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! |
