Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Matthew 13
³⁷ And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
³⁸ and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;
³⁹ and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.
⁴⁰ So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.
⁴¹ The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,
⁴² and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
⁴³ Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
⁴⁴ "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
⁴⁵ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,
⁴⁶ and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
⁴⁷ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;
