Matthew 13:24-30 - The Parable Of The Weeds Among The Wheat
24 Another parable he propos'd to them in these words. the state of the gospel in this world may be compar'd to a man who sowed good grain in his field: 25 but while the people slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 but when the blade was sprung up, and bore grain, the tares appeared too. 27 so the servants of the yeoman came and said, Sir, did not you sow your field with good grain: how comes it then to have tares?
28 'tis some enemy, said he, has done this. the servants replied, shall we go then and pull them up?
29 no, said he, lest in pulling up the tares, you should root 30 up the wheat with them. let both grow together till the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will thus direct the reapers, first of all gather the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: then lodge the wheat in my barn.
