Thefieldis the world* ; the goodseedare* the children of the kingdom;but the taresare the children of the wicked one;
39
Theenemy that sowedthemis the devil* ; the harvestis the end of the world;and the reapersare the angels.
40
Astherefore the tares are gatheredandburned in the fire;so shall it bein the end of thisworld.
41
The Son of man shall send forthhisangels,and they shall gather out ofhiskingdom all things that offend,and them which doiniquity;
42
And shall casttheminto a furnace of fire:there shall bewailingandgnashing of teeth.
43
Then shall the righteous shine forthas the sunin the kingdom of theirFather.Whohathears to hear , let him hear .

Again, the kingdom of heavenislike unto treasurehidin a field; the which when a man hath found , he hideth , andforjoythereofgoethandsellethallthat he hath , andbuyeththatfield.
45
Again, the kingdom of heavenislike unto a merchantman,seekinggoodlypearls:
46
Who, when he had foundonepearl of great price,went and soldallthat he had , andboughtit.
47
Again, the kingdom of heavenislike unto a net, that was castinto the sea,andgatheredofeverykind:
48
Which,when it was full , they drewtoshore,and sat down , and gathered the goodintovessels,butcast the badaway.
