And he delivered them another parable, saying; The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field; and while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed poisonous darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away. But when the stalk grew up and bore fruit, then the poisonous darnel appeared. read more.
And the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence then has it poisonous darnel? And he said to them, An enemy has done this. And they said to him, Do you wish us to go and take them out? And he said, No; lest in taking out the poisonous darnel, you pull up the wheat with it; let both grow together till the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Collect first the poisonous darnel, and bind it in bundles to be burnt; but collect the wheat in my storehouse. He delivered them another parable, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field, which is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the greatest of plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and lodge on its branches. He spoke another parable to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three sata [33 quarts] of flour, till the whole was leavened. All these things spoke Jesus to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable spoke he not to them; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things which have been concealed from the foundation of the world. Then leaving the multitudes; he went into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the poisonous darnel of the field. And he answered and said to them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous darnel are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the consummation of the world; and the reapers are angels. As, therefore, poisonous darnel is collected and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of the world. The Son of man will send his angels, and they shall collect out of his kingdom all offenses, and all that commit wickedness, and cast them into a furnace of fire; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous shall shine out like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear. The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which a man found, and concealed, and went away with joy, and sold all that he had and bought that field. Again; the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, finding one very costly, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Again; the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, and collecting [fish] of every kind, which, when it was full, men drew to the shore, and sifting down put up the good in vessels and cast the bad away. So shall it be at the consummation of the world. The angels shall come forth and separate the evil from the midst of the good, and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Have you understood all these thing? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

neither shall they say, Behold here! or, there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, As you say, I am a king.

So that from henceforth we know no man after the flesh; and if we have known Christ after the flesh, we now know him no more. So that if any one is in Christ he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.
For though we walk in the flesh we do not war according to the flesh, for the arms of our warfare are not of flesh, but mighty with God to the pulling down of strongholds, destroying [false] reasonings and every height which is exalted against the knowledge of God, and subjecting every thought to the obedience of Christ,
Jesus Christ » History of » Teaches the pharisees concerning the coming of his kingdom (in peraea)
And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation; neither shall they say, Behold here! or, there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you. And he said to the disciples, The days will come when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it. read more.
And they shall say to you, Behold there! behold here! go not away, nor follow them. For as the lightning flashing from one part under heaven shines to another part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day. But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation. And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They eat, they drank, they married, they were married, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all. In like manner also as it was in the days of Lot; they eat, drank, bought, sold, planted, built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all; so shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day let not him that shall be on the house, and his furniture in the house, come down to take it away; and in like manner let not him in the field turn back for things which are behind; remember Lot's wife. Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose shall save it. I tell you, on that night two shall be on one bed; one shall be taken and the other left; two shall be grinding together; one shall be taken and the other left. (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) And they answered and said to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
