24 Another parable put he foorth vnto them, saying: The kyngdome of heauen is likened vnto a man, which sowed good seede in his fielde. 25 But whyle men slept, his enemye came & sowed tares among the wheate, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprong vp, and had brought foorth fruite, then appeared the tares also. 27 So, the seruauntes of the housholder came, and sayde vnto hym. Sir, diddest not thou sowe good seede in thy fielde? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He sayde vnto them: the malicious man hath done this. The seruauntes sayde vnto hym: wylt thou then that we go, and gather them vp? 29 But he sayde, nay: lest whyle ye gather vp the tares, ye rote vp also the wheate with them. 30 Let both growe together vntyll the haruest: & in tyme of haruest, I wyl say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bynde them in bundels to burne them: but carrie the wheate into my barne.
