Matthew 13:36-43 - The Parable Of The Weeds Interpreted
36 Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man: 38 And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; 39 And the enemy having sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the end of time; and the reapers are the messengers. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity; 42 And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the just emit a brilliant light as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He having ears to hear, let him hear.
