The Parable of the Tares Explained

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 aThe field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are bthe sons of the wicked one.
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, athe harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.
40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

43 aThen the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. bHe who has ears to hear, let him hear!
