and went into the house: and his
disciples came unto him, saying, "Explain unto us the parable of the
tares of the field."

And he answered and said, "He that soweth the good seed is the Son of
man; and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons
of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; and the
enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers are angels. As therefore the tares are gathered
up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. The
Son of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of
his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and them that do iniquity
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the
weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears let
him hear."

THE HID TREASURE.

"The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field;

THE DRAG NET.

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into
the sea, and gathered of every kind: which, when it was filled, they
drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into
vessels, but the bad they cast away. So shall it be in the end of the
world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among
the righteous, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there
shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

"Have ye understood all these things?"

They say unto him, "Yea."

And he said unto them, "Therefore every scribe who hath been made a
disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a
householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and
old."

A DAY OF MIRACLES BY THE LAKE

JESUS STILLS THE STORM.

And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, "Let us go
over unto the other side."

And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in
the boat. And other boats were with him. And there ariseth a great
storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the
boat was now filling. A
