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 seeds are those who belong to the kingdom. The weeds are those who belong to the evil one.

39 The enemy who planted them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. The workers are angels.

40 Just as weeds are gathered and burned, so it will be at the end of time.

41 The Son of Man will send his angels. They will gather everything in his kingdom that causes people to sin and everyone who does evil.

42 The angels will throw them into a blazing furnace. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.
