o; lest in taking out the
poisonous darnel, you pull up the wheat with it; [13:30]let both grow
together till the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say
to the reapers, Collect first the poisonous darnel, and bind it in
bundles to be burnt; but collect the wheat in my storehouse.

5 [13:31]He delivered them another parable, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field,
[13:32]which is the least of all seeds, but when it is grown is the
greatest of plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven
come and lodge on its branches. [13:33]He spoke another parable to
them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid
in three sata [33 quarts] of flour, till the whole was leavened.
[13:34]All these things spoke Jesus to the multitudes in parables; and
without a parable spoke he not to them; [13:35]that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth
in parables; I will declare things which have been concealed from the
foundation of the world.

6 [13:36]Then leaving the multitudes; he went into the house, and his
disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the
poisonous darnel of the field. [13:37]And he answered and said to them,
He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; [13:38]the field is the
world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous
darnel are the children of the wicked one; [13:39] the enemy that sowed
them is the devil; the harvest is the consummation of the world; and
the reapers are angels. [13:40]As, therefore, poisonous darnel is
collected and burned with fire, so shall it be at the consummation of
the world. [13:41]The Son of man will send his angels, and they shall
collect out of his kingdom all offenses, and all that commit
wickedness, [13:42]and cast them into a furnace of fire; and there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [13:43] Then the righteous
shall shine out like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that
has ears, let him hear.

7 [13:44]The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which
a man found, and concealed, and went away with joy, and sold all that
he had and bought that field. [13:45]Again; the kingdom of heaven is
like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, [13:46]who, finding one very
costly, went and sold all that he had and bought it. [13:47]Again; the
kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea,
