========================
Matthew 13:36-43
========================
24Jesus told them another
parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25But while everyone was
sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
26When the wheat sprouted and
formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27“The owner’s servants came
to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did
the weeds come from?’
28“‘An enemy did this,’ he
replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29“‘No,’ he answered,
‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.
30Let both grow together
until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the
weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it
into my barn.’”
…
----------------------------------------
36Then he left the crowd and
went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the
parable of the weeds in the field.”
37He answered, “The one who
sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.
38The field is the world, and
the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of
the evil one,
39and the enemy who sows them
is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40“As the weeds are pulled up
and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
41The Son of Man will send
out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes
sin and all who do evil.
42They will throw them into
the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43Then the righteous will
shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them
hear.
