He set another
parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven
is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while people slept, his
enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat,
and went away. But when
the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds
appeared also. The
servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow
good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'
"He said to them, 'An enemy
has done this.'
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to
go and gather them up?'
"But he said, 'No, lest
perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with
them. Let both grow
together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the
reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles
to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
