Discovery BoxMatthew 13:30 
Context13:30 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
Context13:43 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.”
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).
