He then dismissed the people, and went into the house, where his disciples came to him and said, 'Explain to us the parable of the darnel in the field.' 13 37 And this was his answer: 'The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man. 13 38 The field is the world; the good seed stands for the children of the Kingdom, the darnel for the children of the evil one. 13 39 The enemy who sowed the darnel is the devil. The harvest is the end of time. The reapers are angels. 13 40 As the darnel, then, is gathered up and burnt, so at the end of time 13 41 the Son of Man will send out his angels, who will gather out of his kingdom everything that causes offence, and all whose deeds are evil, 13 42 and these will be thrown into the blazing furnace, the place of wailing and grinding of teeth. 13 43 And then the righteous will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, then hear.
