24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a field, in which the proprietor has sown good grain:
25 but while people were asleep, his enemy came, and sowed darnel among the wheat, and went off.
26 When the blade was up, and putting forth the ear, then appeared also the darnel.
27 And the servants came, and said to their master, Sir, you sowed good grain in your field; whence, then, has it darnel?
28 He answered, An enemy has done this. They said, Will you, then, that we weed them out?
29 He replied, No, lest in weeding out the darnel, you tear up the wheat.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, first gather the darnel, and make them into bundles for burning; then carry the wheat into my barn.
