JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁶ Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. ³⁷ And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man: ³⁸ And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; ³⁹ And the enemy having sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the end of time; and the reapers are the messengers. ⁴⁰ As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time. ⁴¹ The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity; ⁴² And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
