38. the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
39. The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
40. As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burnt with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
41. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
42. and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
45. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46. who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47. “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48. which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49. So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from amongst the righteous,
