ich was spoken through the prophet, saying:

I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

(36)Then having sent away the multitudes[13:36], he went into the
house. And his disciples came to him, saying: Explain to us the
parable of the darnel of the field. (37)And answering he said to them:

He that sows the good seed is the Son of man. (38)The field is the
world. The good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; but the
darnel are the sons of the evil one, (39)and the enemy that sowed them
is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are
angels. (40)As therefore the darnel are gathered up and are burned
with fire, so shall it be in the end of the world. (41)The Son of man
will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom
all the causes of offense, and those who do iniquity, (42)and will
cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be the wailing, and the

and gathering together of every kind. (48)Which, when it was filled,
they drew up upon the beach, and sat down and gathered the good into
vessels, but cast the bad away. (49)So will it be in the end of the
world. The angels will go forth, and will separate the wicked from
among the just, (50)and will cast them into the furnace of fire; there
will be the wailing, and the gnashing of teeth!

(51)Did ye understand all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
(52)And he said to them: Therefore every scribe, instructed in the
kingdom of heaven, is like to a householder, who brings forth out of
his treasure new and old.

(53)And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, that he
departed thence. (54)And coming into his own country, he taught them
