Which answered, and said, He that soweth good seed is man's Son;
38
the field is the world; but the good seed, be sons of the kingdom, but tares, these be evil children; [+soothly the field is the world; but the good seed, these be the sons of the realm, tares, or cockles, these be sons of the wicked;]
39
the enemy that soweth them is the fiend [but the enemy that soweth them is the devil]; and the ripe corn is the ending of the world, [forsooth] the reapers be angels.
40

41
Man's Son shall send his angels, and they shall gather from his realm all causes of stumbling [and they shall gather of his realm all offences], and them that do wickedness;
42
and they shall send them into the chimney of fire; there shall be weeping and beating together of teeth.
43
Then just men shall shine as the sun, in the realm of their Father. He that hath ears of hearing, hear he.

45
Again the kingdom of heavens is like to a merchant, that seeketh good margarites; [Again the kingdom of heavens is like to a man merchant, seeking good pearls;]
46
but when he hath found one precious margarite [soothly one precious pearl found], he went, and sold all things that he had, and bought it.
47
Again the kingdom of heavens is like to a net cast into the sea, and that gathereth together of all kinds of fishes [of all kind of fishes];
