Matthew 13:24-30

24He presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25But while people were sleeping, his enemy came, sowed weeds among the wheat, and left.

26When the plants sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27The landowner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Master, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’

28“‘An enemy did this,’ he told them. “‘So, do you want us to go and pull them up? ’ the servants asked him.

29“‘No,’ he said. ‘When you pull up the weeds, you might also uproot the wheat with them.

30Let both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time I’ll tell the reapers: Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles to burn them, but collect the wheat in my barn.’”
