Matthew 13:24-28

Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and left.

And when the wheat sprouted and produced grain, then the weeds also became evident.

And the slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’

And he said to them, ‘An enemy has done this!’ The slaves *said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’
