the good seed is the Son of man;
The field is the world; the good
seed are the children of the king-
dom; but the tares are the chil-
dren of the wicked one; The
enemy that sowed them is the
devil; the harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers are the an-
gels. As therefore the tares are
gathered and burned in the fire;
so shall it be in the end of this
world. The Son of man shall send
forth his angels, and they shall
father out of his kingdom all
things that offend, and them which
do iniquity; And shall cast them

forth as the sun in the kingdom of
their Father. Who hath ears to
hear, let him hear.

full corn in the ear. But when
the fruit is brought forth, immed-
iately he putteth in the sickle,
because the harvest is come.

servant that was set over the
reapers answered and said, It is

try of Moab: And she said, I pray
you, let me glean and gather after
