    26When the plants sprouted and produced grain, then the darnel also appeared.

    27So the slaves of the landowner came and said to him,‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the darnel come from?’

    28He said,‘An enemy has done this!’ So the slaves replied,‘Do you want us to go and gather it?’

    29But he said,‘No, since in gathering the darnel you may uproot the wheat along with it.

    30Let both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time I will tell the reapers,“First collect the darnel and tie it in bundles to be burned, but then gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
