Matthew 13:24-43

24Another parableG3850 setG3908 he before them, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is likened unto a manG444 that sowedG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 in his fieldG68: 25but while menG444 slept, his enemyG2190 cameG2064 and sowedG4687 tares alsoG2532 among the wheatG4621, and wentG565 awayG565. 26But whenG3753 the blade sprang up and brought forth fruitG2590, then appearedG5316 the tares alsoG2532. 27And the servantsG1401 of the householder cameG4334 and saidG3004 unto him, SirG2962, didst thou not sowG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 in thy fieldG68? whence thenG3767 hath it tares? 28And he saidG3004 unto them, An enemyG2190 hath done this. And the servantsG1401 sayG3004 unto him, Wilt thou thenG3767 that we goG565 and gatherG4816 them up? 29But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gatherG4816 up the tares, ye root up the wheatG4621 with them. 30Let both grow togetherG4863 until the harvestG2326: and in the timeG2540 of the harvestG2326 I will sayG3004 to the reapers, GatherG4863 up firstG4413 the tares, and bindG1210 them in bundles to burnG2618 them; but gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 into my barnG596.

31Another parableG3850 setG3908 he before them, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto a grainG2848 of mustardG4615 seed, which a manG444 tookG2983, and sowedG4687 in his fieldG68: 32which indeed isG1510 less than all seedsG4690; but whenG3752 it isG1510 grownG837, it isG1510 greaterG3173 than the herbs, and becometh a treeG1186, so that the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 comeG2064 and lodge in the branchesG2798 thereof.

33Another parableG3850 spake he unto them; The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto leavenG2219, which a womanG1135 tookG2983, and hidG1470 in threeG5140 measures of meal, till it wasG1510 all leavenedG2220.

34All these thingsG3778 spake JesusG2424 in parablesG3850 unto the multitudesG3793; and without a parableG3850 spake he nothing unto them: 35that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,

36Then he leftG863 the multitudesG3793, and went into the houseG3614: and his disciplesG3101 cameG2064 unto him, sayingG3004, Explain unto us the parableG3850 of the tares of the fieldG68. 37And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, He that soweth the goodG2570 seedG4690 isG1510 the SonG5207 of manG444; 38and the fieldG68 isG1510 the worldG2889; and the goodG2570 seedG4690, these areG1510 the sonsG5207 of the kingdomG932; and the tares areG1510 the sonsG5207 of the evilG4190 oneG3778; 39and the enemyG2190 that sowedG4687 them isG1510 the devilG1228: and the harvestG2326 isG1510 the end of the world; and the reapers areG1510 angelsG32. 40As thereforeG3767 the tares areG1510 gatheredG4816 up and burnedG2618 with fireG4442; so shall it beG1510 in the end of the world. 41The SonG5207 of manG444 shall sendG649 forthG649 his angelsG32, and they shall gatherG4816 out of his kingdomG932 all thingsG3956 that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42and shall castG906 them into the furnaceG2575 of fireG4442: there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. 43ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 shine forth as the sunG2246 in the kingdomG932 of their FatherG3962. He that hath earsG3775, let him hearG191.
