Matt 13:24 - 30; 36 - 43
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a
man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed
in your field? How then does it have tares?’
28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do
you want us then to go and gather them up?’
29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat
with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the
reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but
gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
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!
