Matthew 13:24-30

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

A Field Is Sown With Good And Bad Seed: At Harvest The Weeds Will Be Burned

²⁴ He put-before them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens became-like^[a] a man having sown good seed in his field. ²⁵ But during the men’s sleeping, his enemy came and re-sowed^[b] darnel^[c] between the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ Now when the grass budded and produced fruit^[d], then the darnel appeared also. ²⁷ And having come to him, the slaves of the house-master said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then from where does it have the darnel?’ ²⁸ And the one said to them, ‘A hostile man did this’. And the slaves say to him, ‘Then do you want us, having gone, to collect them?’ ²⁹ But the one says, ‘No, that while collecting the darnel, you may not perhaps uproot the wheat together with them. ³⁰ Permit both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters, “Collect first the darnel, and bind them into bundles so-as to burn them up. But gather the wheat into my barn”’”.
