24 He put out another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel among the wheat and went his way.

26 But when the blade had sprung up and had produced fruit, then the darnel also appeared.

27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then where have the darnel come from?

28 He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and gather them up?

29 But he said, No, lest while you gather up the darnel you also root up the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest. And in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather together the darnel and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary.
