(26) But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew
13
(27) So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Matthew
13
(28) He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Matthew
13
(29) But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew
13
(30) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew
13
(31) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Matthew
13
(32) Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Matthew
13
(33) Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Matthew
13
(34) All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Matthew
13
(35) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Matthew
13
(36) Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Matthew
13
(37) He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Matthew
13
(38) The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matthew
13
(39) The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matthew
13
(40) As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Matthew
13
(41) The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matthew
13
(42) And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew
13
(43) Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew
13
(44) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Matthew
13
(45) Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
