*
Another parable He spoke to them : "
The kingdom of heaven is like leaven ,
which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened ."
*
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables ;
and without a parable He did not speak to them ,
*
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet ,
saying : "
I will open My mouth in parables ;
I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world ."
*
Then Jesus sent the multitude away and 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 who sows the good seed is the Son of Man .
*
The field is the world ,
the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom ,
but the tares are the sons of the wicked one .
*
The enemy who sowed them is the devil ,
the harvest is the end of the age ,
and the reapers are the angels .
*
Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire ,
so it will be at the end of this age .
*
The Son of Man will send out His angels ,
and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend ,
and those who practice lawlessness ,
*
and will cast them into the furnace of fire .
There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth .
*
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father .
He who has ears to hear ,
let him hear !
* "
Again ,
the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field ,
which a man found and hid ;
and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field .
