B. Parables Spoken to the Disciples .....13:36-53
Mat 13:36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.Mat 13:37
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;Mat 13:38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;Mat 13:39
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.Mat 13:40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.Mat 13:41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;Mat 13:42
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Mat 13:43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.Mat 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Mat 13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:Mat 13:46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.Mat 13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:Mat 13:48
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.Mat 13:49
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,Mat 13:50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.Mat 13:51
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.Mat 13:52
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.Mat 13:53
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
