Compare all
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.

Matthew 13:41

Out of his kingdom (ek thv basileiav autou). Out from the midst of the kingdom, because in every city the good and the bad are scattered and mixed together. Cf. ek mesou twn dikaiwn in Matthew 13:49 "from the midst of the righteous." What this means is that, just as the wheat and the darnel are mixed together in the field till the separation at harvest, so the evil are mixed with the good in the world (the field). Jesus does not mean to say that these "stumbling-blocks" (ta skandala) are actually in the Kingdom of heaven and really members of the Kingdom. They are simply mixed in the field with the wheat and God leaves them in the world till the separation comes. Their destiny is "the furnace of fire" (thn kaminon tou purov).
