24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed acorns among the good seed, and went his way.
26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the oak trees also.
27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it oak trees?
28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the oak trees, ye root up also the fruit trees with them.
30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the oak trees, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the fruit trees into my barn.
