- Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
- "But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.
- "But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also.
- "The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'
- "And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this!' The slaves said to him, 'Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?'
|
- "But he said, 'No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them.
- 'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
- He presented another parable to them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
- and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES."
- He spoke another parable to them, "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."

- All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable.
- This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: "I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."
- Then He left the crowds and went into the house And His disciples came to Him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."
- And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
- and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;
|
- and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.
- "So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.
- "The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,
- and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- "Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father He who has ears, let him hear.
