Matthew:13:36-43

*
Then having dismissed the crowds ,
Jesus went into the house .
And His disciples came to Him ,
saying , "
Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field ."
*
He answered and said to them : "
He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man .
*
And the field is the world ,
and the good seed ,
these are the sons of the kingdom ,
but the tares are the sons of the evil [
one ].
*
The enemy who sowed them is the devil ,
the harvest is the end of the age ,
and the reapers are the angels .
*
Therefore just as the tares are gathered and burned with fire ,
thus it will be at the end of this age .
*
The Son of Man will send forth His angels ,
and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend ,
and those who work iniquity ,
*
and will cast them into the furnace of fire .
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth .
*
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father .
He who has ears to hear ,
let him hear !"
