37. Jesus answered, “The man who planted the good seed in the field is the Son of Man.
38. The field is the world, and the good seed are all of God’s children who belong to the kingdom. The weeds are those people who belong to the Evil One.
39. And the enemy who planted the bad seed is the devil. The harvest time is the end of the age, and the workers who gather are God’s angels.
40. “Just as the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
41. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all who cause sin and all who do evil.
