24 He related another parable to them, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 And when the men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. 26 But when the blade sprang up and bore fruit, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, Our lord, behold, did you not sow good seed in your field; whence did the tares come into it? 28 He said to them, An enemy did this; his servants then said to him, Do you want us to go and pick them out? 29 But he said to them, It might happen that while you were picking out the tares, you might uproot with them also the wheat. 30 Let them both grow together until the harvest; and at the harvest season, I will say to the reapers, Pick out first the tares, and bind them into bundles to be burned; but gather the wheat into my barns.
