Interpretation of the Weeds

36

Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.

37

Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man.

38

And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle are the children of the wicked one.

39

And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.

40

Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.

41

The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.

42

And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43

Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
