Matthew 13:24-30 - The Parable Of The Weeds Among The Wheat

24 Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while men slept, his enemy came, and sowed tares among the wheat; and went away. 26 But when the blade grew up, and put forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it tares?

28 He said to them, An enemy did this. The servants say to him, Dost thou wish then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; lest, while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles, to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.
