*
Another parable he put before them ,
saying , "
The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field ;
*
but while men were sleeping ,
his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat ,
and went away .
*
So when the plants came up and bore grain ,
then the weeds appeared also .
*
And the servants of the householder came and said to him , `
Sir ,
did you not sow good seed in your field ?
How then has it weeds ?'
*
He said to them , `
An enemy has done this .'
The servants said to him , `
Then do you want us to go and gather them ?'
*
But he said , `
No ;
lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them .
*
Let both grow together until the harvest ;
and at harvest time I will tell the reapers ,
Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned ,
but gather the wheat into my barn .'"
