Matthew 13:33-40
-
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
-
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
-
35 That 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.
-
36 Then 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.
-
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
-
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
-
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
-
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
