Mat 13:36–43

13:36 Yeshua explains about the false wheat

36 Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) left the crowd and went into the house. His apprentices followed him in and asked him for the interpretation of the parable about the poisonous black wheat in the field.

37 “The farmer spreading the good seed,” Yeshua answered, “is the son of humanity, 38 and the field is the world, and the good seeds are the heirs to the kingdom. The false wheat seeds are the evil one’s apprentices, 39 and the enemy who planted them is the devil. The harvest is at the end of this age, and the harvesters are God’s messengers. 40 Therefore at the end of this age, the false wheat plants will be gathered and incinerated. 41 The son of humanity will send out his messengers to remove all the temptations out of his kingdom, as well as everyone who doesn’t obey God’s law, 42 and they’ll throw them into the incinerator, and there’ll be crying and a lot of anguish. 43 Then the godly people will shine as bright as the sun in their father’s kingdom. Anyone who’s interested in hearing, let them listen.
