Matthew 13:24-30

24Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “1The kingdom of heaven 2is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed 3weeds among the wheat, and left. 26And when the 4wheat sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also became evident. 27And the slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? 5How then does it have weeds?’ 28And he said to them, ‘6An enemy has done this!’ The slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ 29But he said, ‘No; while you are gathering up the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them; but 7gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
