Matthew 13:36-43

New Matthew Bible

³⁶ Then Jesus sent the people away and went indoors. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the similitude of the tares of the field. ³⁷ Then he answered and said to them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of man. ³⁸ And the field is the world. And the children of the kingdom, they are the good seed. And the tares are the children of the wicked one: ³⁹ the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. ⁴⁰ For even as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. ⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all injurious things, and those who do iniquity, ⁴² and will cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then shall the just shine as bright as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!
