John Gill Commentary Matthew 13:40

"As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world." — Matthew 13:40 (ASV)

As therefore the tares are gathered
As it is represented in the parable, that in the time of harvest, the tares shall be gathered out from the wheat first; and being bound in bundles, shall be

burnt in the fire ,
prepared for that purpose,

so shall it be in the end of this world ;
hypocritical and heretical men, and all formal professors, shall be gathered out from among the saints, and the several churches, among whom they have been; and shall be together cast into everlasting burnings, prepared for the devil and his angels, whose children they are.
