33. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
34. All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:
35. that it might be fulfilled which 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 he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37. And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38. 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
39. and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.
40. As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world.
