Matthew 13:40 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 13:40

As therefore the tares are gathered
As it is represented in the parable, that in the time of harvest, the tares shall be gathered out from the wheat first; and being bound in bundles, shall be

burnt in the fire,
prepared for that purpose,

so shall it be in the end of this world;
hypocritical and heretical men, and all formal professors, shall be gathered out from among the saints, and the several churches, among whom they have been; and shall be together cast into everlasting burnings, prepared for the devil and his angels, whose children they are.

Matthew 13:40 In-Context

38 the field is the world; the good seed is the people who belong to the Kingdom; the weeds are the people who belong to the Evil One;

39 and the enemy who sowed the weeds is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvest workers are angels.

40 Just as the weeds are gathered up and burned in the fire, so the same thing will happen at the end of the age:

41 the Son of Man will send out his angels to gather up out of his Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things,

42 and they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth.
