The Holy Gospel According Matthew   13: 24-30

13:24 He proposed another parable to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
13:25 But while the men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds amid the wheat, and then went away.
13:26 And when the plants had grown, and had produced fruit, then the weeds also appeared.
13:27 So the servants of the Father of the family, approaching, said to him: ‘Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how is it that it has weeds?’
13:28 And he said to them, ‘A man who is an enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Is it your will that we should go and gather them up?’
13:29 And he said: ‘No, lest perhaps in gathering the weeds, you might also root out the wheat together with it.
13:30 Permit both to grow until the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers: Gather first the weeds, and bind them into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather into my storehouse.’ ”
