24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying: May be compared the kingdom of the heavens to a man sowing good seed in the field of him.

25 In and the to sleep the men, came of him the enemy, and sowed darnel through midst of the wheat; and went forth.

26 When and was spring up the blade and fruit yielded, then appeared also the darnel.

27 Coming and the slaves of the householder, said to him: O lord, not good seed didst thou sow in the thy field? whence then has it darnel?

28 He and said to them: An enemy a man this has done. The and slaves said to him: Dost thou wish then going forth we should gather them?

29 He said: No; lest, gathering the darnel, you should root up with them the wheat.

30 Leave them to grow together both till the harvest; and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters: Gather you first the darnel, and bind you them into bundles, for the to burn them; the but wheat bring together into the barn of me.

24 He told another illustration, saying: »The kingdom of heaven is like a man that sowed good seed in his field.

25 »While he slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds with the wheat, and went away.

26 »When the blade sprouted and brought forth fruit, it looked like wheat.

27 »The servants of the householder said to him: Sir, did you sow good seed in your field? Why does it have weeds mixed in with the good wheat?

28 »He replied: An enemy did this. The servants offered to remove the weeds.

29 »He said: No, you might uproot the wheat with them.

30 »Let both grow together until the harvest. In the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: »Gather weeds first, and bind them in bundles to burn them. Then gather the wheat into my barn.« «
