这两样一齐长，等着收割。当收割的时候，我要对收割的人说，先将稗子薅出来，捆成捆，留着烧。惟有麦子，要收在仓里。
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
这原是百种里最小的。等到长起来，却比各样的菜都大，且成了树。天上的飞鸟来宿在他的枝上。
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
人子要差遣使者，把一切叫人跌倒的，和作恶的，从他国里挑出来，

天国又好像买卖人，寻梢好珠子。
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
