The
Weeds
in the Grain
or the Tares(Matt 13:24-30)
He proposed another parable to
them. "The kingdom of
heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field While
everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed
weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop
grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as
well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said,
'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds
come from? He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to
him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up? He replied, 'No, if you
pull up the weeds you might uproot
the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest;
then at harvest
time I will say to the harvesters,...
"First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn."'
