Doctrine and Covenants D&C 101:66
"While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire."
New Testament Matthew 13:30
"Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn."

Registered as allusion: the images are shared, the wording around them is not. Divergences: the parable's binding is an instruction to reapers, the revelation's a stated future; the revelation adds 'their bands made strong' and 'unquenchable fire', neither of which the parable's verse has, and the preceding verse gives the wheat a destination the parable's barn does not (D&C 101:65). The preceding verse names its source as 'the parable of the wheat and the tares' (D&C 101:65). Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-11 editorial review under the named-parable ruling, the citation carrying from the preceding verse of the same passage. 'bound in bundles' stands at three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: D&C 86:7, D&C 88:94, and this verse; 'wheat and the tares' at two, D&C 86:7 and D&C 101:65.
