What does the Bible say about wheat and tares?

Answered in 1 source

The parable of the wheat and tares illustrates the distinction between true believers and false Christians and God's ultimate judgment.

In Matthew 13:24-30, Jesus presents the parable of the wheat and tares, highlighting that a man sowed good seed in his field, but while he slept, an enemy sowed tares among the wheat. This parable signifies the coexistence of true believers (the wheat) and false Christians (the tares) until the end of the age. In verse 36, Jesus explains to His disciples that the good seed represents the children of the kingdom, while the tares symbolize the children of the wicked one. This teaches that God is aware of both groups, and there will be a final separation during the harvest, where the righteous will be gathered into His barn and the tares will be burned.
