Matthew 13:36-43,47-50
[36]Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
[37]He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
[38]The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
[39]The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
[40]As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
[41]The 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;
[42]And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[43]Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[47]Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
[48]Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
[49]So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
[50]And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
