Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43
Jesus told His disciples another story, again it had to do with planting seeds.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a man who planted good seed in his field. Then his enemy ame and planted weeds together with the wheat."
"When the wheat sprang up, the weeds grew as well. The farmer's workers asked if they should pull up the weeds. 'No, because then you might pull up the young wheat with it,' the farmer said. 'Wait until it is time for the harvest. Then gather the weeds and we will burn them. After that we can harvest the wheat' ".
Then Jesus explained. "The one who planted the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world. The wheat plants are those who follow Me. The weeds are those who will not follow Me. Instead they keep on being selfish and hurting other people. The enemy is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world."
