Matthew 13:25-30 ▼

25 While people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.

26 When the crop came up and bore grain, the weeds appeared, too.

27 |The owner's servants came and asked him, 'Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? Then where did these weeds come from?'

28 |He told them, 'An enemy did this!' |The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them out?'

29 |He said, 'No! If you pull out the weeds, you might pull out the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, |Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles for burning, but bring the wheat into my barn.|'|
