Matthew 13:38-49
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
38and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil one; 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. 40So just as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42and they will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH LIKE THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear.
45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold everything that he had and bought it.
47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered fish of every kind;
48and when it was filled, they pulled it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49So it will be at the end of the age: the angels will come forth and remove the wicked from among the righteous,
King James Version
Chapter 13
38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Chapter 13
38the field is the world; and the good seed--these are the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40Therefore, just as the weeds are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all who cause sin and those guilty of lawlessness. 42They will throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. Let anyone who has ears listen.
45"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
46When he found one priceless pearl, he went and sold everything he had and bought it.
47"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea. It collected every kind of fish,
48and when it was full, they dragged it ashore, sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but threw out the worthless ones.
49So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out, separate the evil people from the righteous,
New Living Translation
Chapter 13
38The field is the world, and the good seed represents the people of the Kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one. 39The enemy who planted the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the harvesters are the angels.
40Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world.
41The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
42And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
45Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls.
46When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!
47Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind.
48When the net was full, they dragged it up onto the shore, sat down, and sorted the good fish into crates, but threw the bad ones away.
49That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous,
