Jesus used another illustration.  He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who planted good seed in his field.  But while people were asleep, his enemy planted weeds in the wheat field and went away.  When the wheat came up and formed kernels, weeds appeared.  The owner’s workers came to him and asked, ‘Sir, didn’t you plant good seed in your field?  Where did the weeds come from?’  “He told them, ‘An enemy did this.’  “His workers asked him, ‘Do you want us to pull out the weeds?’  He replied, ‘No.  If you pull out the weeds, you may pull out the wheat with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest.  When the grain is cut, I will tell the workers to gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles to be burned.  But I’ll have them bring the wheat into my barn.’ ”  When Jesus had sent the people away, he went into the house.  His disciples came to him and  said, “Explain what the illustration of the weeds in the field means.”  He answered, “The one who plants the good seeds is the Son of Man.  The field is the world.  The good seeds are those who belong to the kingdom.  The weeds are those who belong to the evil one.  The enemy who planted them is the devil.  The harvest is the end of the world.  The workers are angels.  Just as weeds are gathered and burned, so it will be at the end of time.  The Son of Man will send his angels.  They will gather everything in his kingdom that causes people to sin and everyone who does evil.  The angels with throw them into a blazing furnace.  People will cry and be in extreme pain there.  Then the people who have God’s approval will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom.  Let the person who has ears listen!
