Matthew 13:24-30
King James Version (KJV)
24Another parable put he forth unto them,
saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25But while
men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26But when the blade
was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27So 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?
28He
said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29But
he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30Let 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 13:36-40
King James Version (KJV)
36Then
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.
37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son
of man;
38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are
the children of the wicked one;
39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of
the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the
fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
