Matthew 13:27-30

English Standard Version

²⁷ And the servants^[a] of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ ²⁸ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ ²⁹ But he said, ^(A)‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. ³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, ^(B)“Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
