Matthew 13:30

13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At ¹  harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned, but then ²  gather ³  the wheat into my barn.”’”

Matthew 13:43

13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. ⁴  The one who has ears had better listen! ⁵ 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

² tn Grk “but.”

³ tn Grk “burned, but gather.”

⁴ sn An allusion to Dan 12:3.

⁵ tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15, 13:9; Mark 4:9, 23; Luke 8:8, 14:35).
