38. The field is the world, and the good seeds are the people who belong to the kingdom. The weeds are those who belong to the evil one,
39. and the one who scattered them is the devil. The harvest is the end of time, and angels are the ones who bring in the harvest.
40. Weeds are gathered and burnt. That's how it will be at the end of time.
41. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everyone who does wrong or causes others to sin.
42. Then he will throw them into a flaming furnace, where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain.
43. But everyone who has done right will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. If you have ears, pay attention!
