Matthew 13:26

24 Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

25 But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.

When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27 The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28 ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
