Matthew 13: 36 - 43
|
| 36
|
Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field."
|
| 37
|
He answered, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;
|
| 38
|
the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one,
|
| 39
|
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.
|
| 40
|
Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.
|
| 41
|
The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers,
|
| 42
|
and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.
|
| 43
|
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
