Matthew 13:24-30

24Jesus presentedG3908 anotherG243 parableG3850 to them, sayingG3004, “1The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 2may be comparedG3666 to a manG444 who sowedG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 in his fieldG68. 25But whileG1722 his menG444 were sleepingG2518, his enemyG2190 cameG2064 and sowedG1986 3taresG2215 amongG303G3319 the wheatG4621, and wentG565 awayG565. 26But whenG3753 the 4wheatG5528 sproutedG985 and boreG4160 grainG2590, thenG5119 the taresG2215 becameG5316 evidentG5316 alsoG2532. 27The slavesG1401 of the landownerG3617 cameG4334 and saidG3004 to him, ‘SirG2962, did you not sowG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 in your fieldG68? 5HowG4159 thenG3767 does it haveG2192 taresG2215?’ 28And he saidG5346 to them, ‘An 6enemyG2190G444 has doneG4160 thisG3778!’ The slavesG1401 saidG3004 to him, ‘Do you wantG2309 us, thenG3767, to goG565 and gatherG4816 them up?’ 29But he saidG5346, ‘NoG3756; for while you are gatheringG4816 up the taresG2215, you may uprootG1610 the wheatG4621 with them. 30AllowG863 bothG297 to growG4885 togetherG4885 untilG2193 the harvestG2326; and in the timeG2540 of the harvestG2326 I will sayG3004 to the reapersG2327, “FirstG4413 gatherG4816 up the taresG2215 and bindG1210 them in bundlesG1197 to burnG2618 them up; but 7gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 into my barnG596.”’”
