39. So the enemy who sowed them is the devil. And truly, the harvest is the consummation of the age; while the reapers are the Angels.
40. Therefore, just as weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of the age.
41. The Son of man shall send out his Angels, and they shall gather from his kingdom all who lead astray and those who work iniquity.
42. And he shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43. Then the just ones shall shine like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
44. The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man finds it, he hides it, and, because of his joy, he goes and sells everything that he has, and he buys that field.
45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking good pearls.
46. Having found one pearl of great value, he went away and sold all that he had, and he bought it.
47. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, which gathers together all kinds of fish.
48. When it has been filled, drawing it out and sitting beside the shore, they selected the good into vessels, but the bad they threw away.
49. So shall it be at the consummation of the age. The Angels shall go forth and separate the bad from the midst of the just.
50. And they shall cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51. Have you understood all these things?" They say to him, "Yes."
52. He said to them, "Therefore, every scribe well-taught about the kingdom of heaven, is like a man, the father of a family, who offers from his storehouse both the new and the old."
53. And it happened that, when Jesus had completed these parables, he went away from there.
