THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

13:34All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:

13:35That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

13:36Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

13:37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

13:38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

13:39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

13:40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

13:41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

13:42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

13:43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
