24AnotherG243 parableG3850 put he forthG3908 unto themG846, sayingG3004, The kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772 is likened untoG3666 a manG444 which sowedG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 inG1722 hisG846 fieldG3588G68: 25ButG1161 whileG1722 menG3588G444 sleptG2518, hisG846 enemyG2190 cameG2064 andG2532 sowedG4687 taresG2215 amongG3319 the wheatG3588G4621, andG2532 went his wayG565. 26ButG1161 whenG3753 the bladeG3588G5528 was sprung upG985, andG2532 brought forthG4160 fruitG2590, thenG5119 appearedG5316 the taresG3588G2215 alsoG2532. 27SoG1161 the servantsG3588G1401 of the householderG3588G3617 cameG4334 and saidG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, didstG4687 notG3780 thou sowG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 inG1722 thyG4674 fieldG68? from whenceG4159 thenG3767 hath itG2192 taresG3588G2215? 28He saidG5346 unto themG846, An enemyG3588G2190 hath doneG4160 thisG3778. The servantsG3588G1401 saidG3004 unto himG846, Wilt thouG2309 thenG3767 that we goG565 and gatherG4816 themG846 upG4816? 29ButG1161 he saidG5346, NayG3756; lestG3379 while ye gather upG4816 the taresG3588G2215, ye root up alsoG1610 the wheatG3588G4621 withG260 themG846. 30LetG863 bothG297 grow togetherG4885 untilG3360 the harvestG3588G2326: andG2532 inG1722 the timeG3588G2540 of harvestG3588G2326 I will sayG2046 to the reapersG3588G2327, Gather ye togetherG4816 firstG4412 the taresG3588G2215, andG2532 bindG1210 themG846 inG1519 bundlesG1197 toG4314 burnG2618 themG846: butG1161 gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 myG1473 barnG3588G596.

31AnotherG243 parableG3850 put he forthG3908 unto themG846, sayingG3004, The kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772 isG1510 like toG3664 a grainG2848 of mustard seedG4615, whichG3739 a manG444 tookG2983, and sowedG4687 inG1722 hisG846 fieldG3588G68: 32WhichG3739 indeedG3303 isG1510 the leastG3398 of allG3956 seedsG3588G4690: butG1161 whenG3752 it is grownG837, it isG1510 the greatestG3173 among herbsG3588G3001, andG2532 becomethG1096 a treeG1186, so thatG5620 the birdsG3588G4071 of the airG3588G3772 comeG2064 andG2532 lodgeG2681 inG1722 the branchesG3588G2798 thereofG846.

33AnotherG243 parableG3850 spake heG2980 unto themG846; The kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772 isG1510 like untoG3664 leavenG2219, whichG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983, and hidG1470 inG1519 threeG5140 measuresG4568 of mealG224, tillG2193 the wholeG3650 was leavenedG2220. 34AllG3956 these thingsG3778 spakeG2980 JesusG3588G2424 unto the multitudeG3588G3793 inG1722 parablesG3850; andG2532 withoutG5565 a parableG3850 spake heG2980 notG3756 unto themG846: 35ThatG3704 it might be fulfilledG4137 which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG3588G4396, sayingG3004, I will openG455 myG1473 mouthG3588G4750 inG1722 parablesG3850; I will utterG2044 things which have been kept secretG2928 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889. 36ThenG5119 JesusG3588G2424 sentG863 the multitudeG3588G3793 awayG863, and wentG2064 intoG1519 the houseG3588G3614: andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 cameG4334 unto himG846, sayingG3004, DeclareG5419 unto usG1473 the parableG3588G3850 of the taresG3588G2215 of the fieldG3588G68. 37He answeredG3588G611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, He that sowethG3588G4687 the goodG3588G2570 seedG4690 isG1510 the SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444; 38The fieldG3588G68 isG1510 the worldG3588G2889; the goodG3588G2570 seedG4690 areG1510 the childrenG3588G5207 of the kingdomG3588G932; butG1161 the taresG3588G2215 areG1510 the childrenG3588G5207 of the wickedG3588G4190 one; 39The enemyG3588G2190 that sowedG3588G4687 themG846 isG1510 the devilG3588G1228; the harvestG3588G2326 isG1510 the endG4930 of the ageG3588G165; andG1161 the reapersG3588G2327 areG1510 the angelsG32. 40AsG5618 thereforeG3767 the taresG3588G2215 are gatheredG4816 andG2532 burnedG2618 in the fireG4442; soG3779 shall it beG1510 inG1722 the endG3588G4930 of thisG3778 ageG3588G165. 41The SonG3588G5207 of manG3588G444 shall send forthG649 hisG846 angelsG3588G32, andG2532 they shall gatherG4816 out ofG1537 hisG846 kingdomG3588G932 allG3956 things that offendG3588G4625, andG2532 them which doG4160 iniquityG3588G458; 42AndG2532 shall castG906 themG846 intoG1519 a furnaceG3588G2575 of fireG3588G4442: thereG1563 shall beG1510 wailingG3588G2805 andG2532 gnashingG3588G1030 of teethG3588G3599. 43ThenG5119 shallG1584 the righteousG1342 shine forthG1584 asG5613 the sunG3588G2246 inG1722 the kingdomG3588G932 ofG3588G3962 theirG846 FatherG3588G3962. Who hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
