33
He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened."
34
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them,
35
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world."
36
Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field."
37
He answered them, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38
the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the darnel are the sons of the evil one.
39
The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
40
As therefore the darnel is gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be in the end of this age.
41
The Son of Man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
42
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
