the parable of the darnel sown in the field."
013:037 "The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;
013:038 the field is the world; the good seed--these are the sons
of the Kingdom; the darnel, the sons of the Evil one.
013:039 The enemy who sows the darnel is *the Devil*; the harvest
is the Close of the Age; the reapers are the angels.
013:040 As then the darnel is collected together and burnt up with fire,
so will it be at the Close of the Age.
013:041 The Son of Man will commission His angels, and they will gather
out of His Kingdom all causes of sin and all who violate His laws;
013:042 and these they will throw into the fiery furnace.
There will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.
013:043 Then will the righteous shine out like the sun in their
Father's Kingdom. Listen, every one who has ears!
013:044 "The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in
the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and,
in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys
that piece of ground.
013:045 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a jewel merchant
who is in quest of choice pearls.
013:046 He finds one most costly pearl; he goes away; and though it
costs all he has, he buys it.
013:047 "Again the Kingdom of the Heavens is like a draw-net let
down into the sea, which encloses fish of all sorts.
013:048 When full, they haul it up on the beach, and sit down and collect
the good fish in baskets, while the worthless they throw away.
013:049 So will it be at the Close of the Age. The angels will go
forth and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
013:050 and will throw them into the fiery furnace. There will be
the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth."
