Matthew 13:36-43
36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Disciples
When we read the Gospels and see Jesus addressing the disciples, we assume His words are meant for us as well. And indeed they are! The disciples represent all people who are in a state of love and knowledge from the Lord, and in the abstract sense they represent love and knowledge itself.
In Matthew 10:41, a disciple signifies charity and at the same time, faith from the Lord. By the disciples of the Lord, are meant people who are instructed by the Lord in goods and truths of doctrine, but by apostles, they who, after they are instructed, teach truths. See Luke 9:1, 2, 10; Mark 6:7, 30.
