24
Jesus told them another Parable:
THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE A MAN
WHO
SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD.
25
BUT WHILE EVERYONE WAS SLEEPING,
HIS
ENEMY CAME AND SOWED WEEDS AMONG THE WHEAT,
AND
WENT AWAY.
26
WHEN THE WHEAT SPROUTED AND FORMED HEADS,
THEN
THE WEEDS ALSO APPEARED.
27
THE OWNER'S SERVANTS CAME TO HIM AND SAID,
'SIR,
DIDN'T YOU SOW GOOD SEED IN YOUR FIELD?
WHERE
THEN DID THE WEEDS COME FROM?'
28
AN ENEMY DID THIS, HE REPLIED.
THE
SERVANTS ASKED HIM,
'DO
YOU WANT US TO GO AND PULL THEM UP?'
29
NO, HE ANSWERED,
BECAUSE
WHILE YOU ARE PULLING THE WEEDS,
YOU
MAY ROOT UP THE WHEAT WITH THEM.
30
LET BOTH GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST.
AT
THAT TIME I WILL TELL THE HARVESTERS:
FIRST
COLLECT THE WEEDS
AND
TIE THEM IN BUNDLES TO BE BURNED,
THEN
GATHER THE WHEAT AND BRING IT INTO MY BARN.
(Matthew
13:24-30)
