Another parable, put he before them, saying - The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;

and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, - and away he went.

And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.

And the servants of the householder, coming near, said to him, - Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?

And he said unto them - An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him - Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?

And, he, saith - Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:

Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, - Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
