36 Then leaving the crowds he came into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the illustration of the weeds of the field."
37 He replied, "He who sows the good seeds is the Son of Man.
38 The field is the world. The good seeds are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the Evil One.
39 The enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the world. The reapers are angels.
40 As the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the world.
41 The Son of Man will send his angels and they will gather up from his kingdom all stumbling-blocks and those who practice lawlessness,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
