Matthew 13:36-43

36Then He left the crowds and went into 1the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “2Explain to us the parable of the 3tares of the field.” 37And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is 4the Son of Man, 38and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are 5the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are 6the sons of 7the evil one; 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is 8the 9end of the age; and the reapers are angels. 40So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at 10the 11end of the age. 41 12The Son of Man 13will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom 14all 15stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42and 16will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place 17there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 18Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. 19He who has ears, 20let him hear.
