Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a kernel of mustard, which a man taking, sowed in his field: Which truly is less than all seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than vegetables, and becomes a tree, so that the flying things of heaven come and lodge in its young shoots. Another parable spake he to them; The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of wheaten flour, till the whole was leavened. All these things spake Jesus in parables to the crowds; and without a parable spake he not to them. So that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up; saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things having been hid from the foundation of the world. Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man: And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; And the enemy having sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the end of time; and the reapers are the messengers. As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time. The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity; And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the just emit a brilliant light as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He having ears to hear, let him hear. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a treasure hid in the field; which a man finding, concealed, and from his joy, he retires, and all things which he has he sells, and he purchases that field. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a wholesale merchant, seeking beautiful pearls: Who, finding one pearl of great value, having departed, he sold all things which he had, and purchased it. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a large sweep-net, cast into the sea, and having gathered of every kind: Which, when it was filled, having raised up upon the shore, and having set down, they gathered the good things into vessels, and the rotten things they cast without. So shall it be in the end of time; the messengers shall come forth, and separate the evil from the midst of the just, And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
