Matthew 13:40-44 Common English Bible (CEB)

40. Just as people gather weeds and burn them in the fire, so it will be at the end of the present age.

41. The Human One will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause people to fall away and all people who sin.

42. He will throw them into a burning furnace. People there will be weeping and grinding their teeth.

43. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. Those who have ears should hear."

44. “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that somebody hid in a field, which someone else found and covered up. Full of joy, the finder sold everything and bought that field.
