30 'Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but 1gather the wheat into my barn."' "

The Mustard Seed

31 He presented another parable to them, saying, "2The kingdom of heaven is like 3a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that 4THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES."

The Leaven

33 He spoke another parable to them, "5The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in 6three pecks of flour until it was all leavened."
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them 7without a parable.
35 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: "8I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS HIDDEN SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."

The Tares Explained

36 Then He left the crowds and went into 9the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, "10Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."
37 And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is 11the Son of Man,
38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are 12the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are 13the sons of 14the evil one;
39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is 15the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.
40 "So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at 16the end of the age.
