37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is (A)the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are (B)the sons of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. (C)The harvest is (D)the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds (E)are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at (F)the end of the age. 41 (G)The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all (H)causes of sin and (I)all law-breakers, 42 (J)and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place (K)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then (L)the righteous will shine like the sun (M)in the kingdom of their Father. (N)He who has ears, let him hear.

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.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
