33. Another parable He spoke to them, “The reign of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until all was leavened.”
34. יהושע said all this to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable,
35. so that what was spoken by the prophet might be filled, saying, “I shall open My mouth in parables, I shall pour forth what has been hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36. Then, having sent the crowds away, יהושע went into the house. And His taught ones came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.”
37. And He answering, said to them, “He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Aḏam,
38. and the field is the world. And the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, but the darnel are the sons of the wicked one,
39. and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. And the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the messengers.
40. “As the darnel, then, is gathered and burned in the fire, so it shall be at the end of this age.
