THE PRECEPTS OF JESUS.
heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid
in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in para-
bles ; and without a parable spake he not unto them : that
it might be fulfiled which was spoken by the prophet,
saying, I will open my mouth in parables ; I will utter
things which have been kept secret from the foundation
of the world. 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. He answered and said unto them, He that
soweth the good seed is the Son of man ; the field is
the world ; the good seed are the children of the king-
dom ; but the tares are the children of the wicked one :
the enemy that sowed them is the devil ; the harvest is
the end of the world ; and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the
fire ; so shall it be in the end of this world. 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 ; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire :
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then
shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

ment of God by your tradition ? For God commanded,
saying, Honour thy Father and mother : and, He that
