Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē sunteleia tou aiōnos {ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος | en tē sun-te-leí-a tou ai-ṓ-nos} specifies the temporal setting, literally “in the consummation of the age,” where the genitive tou aiōnos depends on sunteleia and marks the age whose close is in view. The translation preserves the Greek comparative structure “just as … so it will be,” keeps the present passives in the illustrative clause to underscore ongoing process, and renders the temporal phrase with “at the end of the age” to reflect its eschatological nuance.
In context — Matthew 13:40
Therefore, just as the weeds are gathered and are burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
