Matthew 13:38-40

New Catholic Bible

³⁸ The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, ³⁹ and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are angels.

⁴⁰ “Just as the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the world.
