Mateus 13

Jesus Interprets the Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds

36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."  * 13:36 Mt 13:3; 15:15; 21:33,45; 22:1; 24:32

37 He replied, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; 38 the field is the world; and the good seed — these are the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one,* 13:38 Mt 8:12; Jn 8:44; Ac 13:10; 1Jn 3:1039 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.* 13:39 Jl 3:13; Heb 9:26; Rv 14:1540 Therefore, just as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.* 13:40 Mt 24:3; 28:2041 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all who cause sin* 13:41 Or stumblingand those guilty of lawlessness.* 13:41 Or those who do lawlessness,* 13:41 Zph 1:3; Mt 8:20; 18:7; 24:3142 They will throw them into the blazing furnace* 13:42 Rv 1:15; 9:2where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.* 13:42 Mt 8:12; Rv 19:20; 20:1043 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Let anyone who has ears* 13:43 Other mss add to hearlisten.* 13:43 Dn 12:3; Mt 11:15; 1Co 15:42
