Prophecy and the Parables

34 aAll these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,  
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
a“I will open My mouth in parables;
bI will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”  

The Parable of the Tares Explained

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
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.
