Parable of Tares. The Parable of the Tares is a parable of Jesus which appears in Matthew 13:24-13:30, following the Parable of the Sower, and preceding the Parable of the Mustard Seed.
The parable relates how servants eager to pull up the tares were warned that in so doing they would root out the wheat as well and were told to let both grow together until the harvest. According to the interpretation supplied in Matthew 13:36-13:43, the parable's meaning is that the sons of the evil one will be separated from thesons of the kingdom at the end of the age by angels.
This is usually taken to refer to the separation of the unsaved sinners from the saved believers during the Last Judgment. A shorter, greatly compressed version of the parable is found without any interpretation in the apocryphal Gospel of Thomas.
The parable in the Gospel of Matthew goes as follows: Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
