Matthew 13:40 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 13:40

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.

41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, ^aand they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

42 ^aand will cast them into the furnace of fire. ^bThere will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

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!

The Parable of the Hidden Treasure

44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and ^asells all that he has and ^bbuys that field.
