Matthew 13:27

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

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

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?’

29 ‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
