The Parable of the Weeds Explained
Then Jesus sent the
multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him,
saying, "Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the
field."
He answered them,
"He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world; and the
good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are
the children of the evil one. The enemy who sowed them is the
devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
As therefore the darnel
weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of
this age. The Son of Man
will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all
things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the
furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine
forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to
hear, let him hear.
