Exegesis
The initial clause has a subject expressed by the neuter plural ta zizania {τὰ ζιζάνια | tá zi-zá-ni-a} ‘the weeds’, with two present passive indicatives, sullegatai {συλλέγεται | syl-lé-ge-tai} ‘are gathered’ and kaietai {καίεται | kaí-e-tai} ‘are burned’, joined by kai {καὶ | kaí}. The passive voice leaves the agent implicit, a common feature in parabolic or judgment contexts where divine agency is understood without being named.
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.
