36 Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of 37 the tares of the field. And he answered and said, He that soweth 38 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 39 are the sons of the evil _one_; and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is [1]the end of the world; and the 40 reapers are angels. As therefore the tares are gathered up and 41 burned with fire; so shall it be in [1]the end of the world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do 42 iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there 43 shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father [_see Dan. 12:3_]. He that hath ears, let him hear. [Footnote 1: Or, _the consummation of the age_.] (b) The Parable of the Hid Treasure Matt. 13:44 44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and [1]in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. [Footnote 1: Or, _for joy thereof_.] (c) The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price Matt. 13:45-46 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a 46 merchant seeking goodly pearls: and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. (d) The Parable of the Net Matt. 13:47-50 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a [1]net, that was cast 48 into the sea, and gathered of every kind: which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered 49 the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away. So shall it be in [2]the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever 50 the wicked from among the righteous, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. [Footnote 1: Gr. _dragnet_.] [Footnote 2: Or, _consummation of the age_.] (e) The Parable of the Householder Matt. 13:51-53 51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea. And 52 he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. 53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables,[a] he departed thence.
