## Matthew 13:40-43 in Context (Verses 37–46 KJV)
 
 [37 ](/kjv/matthew/13/37) He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
 
 [38 ](/kjv/matthew/13/38) 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 ](/kjv/matthew/13/39) The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/matthew/13/40) As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/matthew/13/41) 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 ](/kjv/matthew/13/42) And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/matthew/13/43) Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/matthew/13/44) ¶ Again, 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.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/matthew/13/45) ¶ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
 
 [46 ](/kjv/matthew/13/46) Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
 
[Matthew 12](/kjv/matthew/12) [Matthew 14](/kjv/matthew/14)
