Matthew 13:28-30

New Catholic Bible

²⁸ He answered, ‘One of my enemies has done this.’ The servants then asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’

²⁹ “He replied, ‘No, because in gathering the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. ³⁰ Let them both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time, I will tell the reapers, “Collect the weeds first and tie them in bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
