D&C 86
Verily,
thus
saith
the
Lord
unto
you
my
servants,
concerning
the
a
parable
of
the
b
wheat
and
of
the
tares:
2 Behold,
verily
I
say,
the
field
was
the
world,
and
the
apostles
were
the
a
sowers
of
the
seed;
3 And
after
they
have
fallen
asleep
the
great
persecutor
of
the
church,
the
apostate,
the
a
whore,
even
b
Babylon,
that
maketh
all
nations
to
drink
of
her
cup,
in
whose
hearts
the
enemy,
even
Satan,
sitteth
to
reign—behold
he
soweth
the
c
tares;
wherefore,
the
tares
choke
the
wheat
and
drive
the
d
church
into
the
wilderness.
4 But
behold,
in
the
a
last
days,
even
now
while
the
Lord
is
beginning
to
bring
forth
the
word,
and
the
blade
is
springing
up
and
is
yet
tender—
5 Behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
the
a
angels
are
crying
unto
the
Lord
day
and
night,
who
are
ready
and
waiting
to
be
sent
forth
to
b
reap
down
the
fields;
6 But
the
Lord
saith
unto
them,
pluck
not
up
the
tares
while
the
blade
is
yet
tender
(for
verily
your
faith
is
weak),
lest
you
destroy
the
wheat
also.
7 Therefore,
let
the
wheat
and
the
a
tares
grow
together
until
the
harvest
is
fully
ripe;
then
ye
shall
first
gather
out
the
wheat
from
among
the
tares,
and
after
the
gathering
of
the
wheat,
behold
and
lo,
the
tares
are
bound
in
bundles,
and
the
field
remaineth
to
be
b
burned.
8 Therefore,
thus
saith
the
Lord
unto
you,
with
whom
the
a
priesthood
hath
continued
through
the
lineage
of
your
fathers—
9 For
ye
are
lawful
a
heirs,
according
to
the
flesh,
and
have
been
b
hid
from
the
world
with
Christ
in
God—
10 Therefore
your
life
and
the
a
priesthood
have
remained,
and
must
needs
remain
through
you
and
your
lineage
until
the
b
restoration
of
all
things
spoken
by
the
mouths
of
all
the
holy
prophets
since
the
world
began.
11 Therefore,
blessed
are
ye
if
ye
continue
in
my
a
goodness,
a
b
light
unto
the
Gentiles,
and
through
this
priesthood,
a
c
savior
unto
my
people
d
Israel.
The
Lord
hath
said
it.
Amen.
