And in men's sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.

And when the grass sprouted up and made fruit, then appeared the tares also.

And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares?

And he said, No; lest gathering the tares, ye root up the wheat together with them.

Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn.

Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;

As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time.
