Correct Answer: B) The wheat and the tares
Explanation
This question is asking which parable in the Bible illustrates the Day of Judgement. The options are A) The sower, B) The wheat and the tares (which is the correct answer), C) The mustard seed, and D) The leaven.
In the parable of the wheat and the tares, Jesus tells a story about a farmer who sows good seed in his field, but at night, an enemy comes and sows weeds among the wheat. The farmer decides not to pull out the weeds because he fears he may uproot the wheat as well. Instead, he lets both grow together until the harvest when the wheat will be separated from the tares. The wheat represents the righteous people, while the tares represent the wicked. The parable illustrates that there will be a final judgement day when the wicked will be separated from the righteous, and they will receive their rewards or punishment.
