³⁶Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into ^othe house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us ^pthe parable of the tares of the field. ³⁷He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; ³⁸The field is ^qthe world; the good seed are ^rthe children of the kingdom; but the tares are ^sthe children of ^tthe wicked one; ³⁹The enemy that sowed them is the devil; ^uthe harvest is ^xthe end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. ⁴⁰As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in ^xthe end of this world. ⁴¹^xxThe 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; ⁴²And shall ^ycast them into ^yya furnace of fire: ^zthere shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³Then shall ^athe righteous shine forth as the sun in ^bthe kingdom of their Father. ^cWho hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁴⁴Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto ^dtreasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and ^eselleth all that he hath, and ^fbuyeth that field.

⁴⁵Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: ⁴⁶Who, when he had found one ^gpearl of great price, went and ^esold all that he had, and ^fbought it.

⁴⁷Again, the kingdom of heaven is ^hlike unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered ⁱof every kind: ⁴⁸Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. ⁴⁹So shall it be at ^kthe end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and ^lsever the wicked from among the just, ⁵⁰^mAnd shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁵¹Jesus saith unto them, ^mmHave ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. ⁵²Then said he unto them, Therefore every ⁿscribe which is ^oinstructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things ^pnew and old.

⁵³And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

Matthew 13:44: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
