Matthew 13:36-43 - The Parable Of The Weeds Interpreted
36 Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said: "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
37 And he answered: "The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the People of the Kingdom. The tares are the wicked, 39 And the enemy who sowed them is the Devil. The harvest-time is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 And, just as the tares are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin, 42 And 'will throw them into the fiery furnace,' where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine, like the sun, in the Kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears hear.
