NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁶ Then he left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples gathered near him. They said: »Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field.« ³⁷ Jesus said: »He that sows the good seed is the Son of man. ³⁸ »The field is the world (the society of mankind). The good seed are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one. ³⁹ »The enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age. The reapers are angels. ⁴⁰ »The weeds are gathered up and burned (destroyed) with fire. It will be this way at the end of the age. ⁴¹ »The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all who stumble others and commit lawlessness. ⁴² »The angels will cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
