Matthew 13:36-43

Revised Geneva Translation

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 weeds of that 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 good seed are the children of the Kingdom. And the weeds are the children of the evil one.

³⁹ “And the enemy who sows them is the devil. And the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.

⁴⁰ “Just as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be at the end of this world.

⁴¹ “The Son of Man shall send forth His angels. And they shall gather all stumbling blocks out of His Kingdom, and those who do iniquity,

⁴² “and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁴³ “Then shall the just shine as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears to hear, let him hear.
