40. Just as the darnel (weeds resembling wheat) is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the close of the age.
41. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offense [persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin] and all who do iniquity and act wickedly,
42. And will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth.
43. Then will the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears [to hear] be listening, and let him consider and perceive and understand by hearing. [Dan. 12:3.]
44. The kingdom of heaven is like something precious buried in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field.
45. Again the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls,
46. Who, on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it.
