nd
weed them out? (29)he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the
zizane, we root up the wheat with them. (30)Let them both grow together
till the harvest: and at the harvest-time I will say to the reapers,
Gather out first the zizane, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but
gather the wheat into my barn.

(31)Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field:
(32)which indeed is among the smallest of all seeds; but when it is
grown, it is among the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that
the birds of the air come and make their nests in the branches of it.

(33)Another parable spake he to them: The kingdom of heaven is like
leaven, which a woman took and covered up in three measures of flour,
until the whole was leavened. (34)All these things spake Jesus in
parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spake not to them:
(35)that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
I will open my mouth in parables, I will bring forth things hid from
the foundation of the world.

(36)Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his
disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the
zizane of the field. (37)And he replying said to them, He that sowed
the good seed, is the Son of man; (38)the field is the world: and the
good seed are those who are the children of the kingdom; but the zizane
are the children of the wicked one; (39)the enemy who sowed them is the
devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the
angels. (40)As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the
fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world. (41)The Son of man
shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom
all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity; (42)and will
cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing
of teeth. (43)Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the
kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

(44)Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field:
which when a man findeth, he hideth, and for joy thereof, goeth away
and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

(45)Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman in search of
beautiful pearls: (46)who, having discovered one of vast price, went
away and sold all that he possessed, and bought
