It is I, or as the Jews are want to say, the Son of Man, Who is now casting the good seed [Matthew 13:38]. The adversary sowing them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world and the cutters are the angels! [Matthew 13:39]. But just as one weeds the tares from the field, binding them in bundles and burning them, so it shall be also at the end of the world [Matthew 13:40]. – The Great Gospel of John, Book 1, Chapter 197, Paragraph 12
