³⁸ The field is the world; the good seed represents the children of the Kingdom. The weeds—who do you think the weeds are? They are the children of the evil one, ³⁹ and the enemy who threw the weeds among the wheat is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the workers are God’s heavenly messengers. ⁴⁰ In the parable, I told you the weeds would be pulled up and burned—well, that is how it will be at the end of this age.
