13:25 But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weeds 1 among the wheat and went away.

1 tn Grk “sowed darnel.” The Greek term ζιζάνιον (zizanion) refers to an especially undesirable weed that looks like wheat but has poisonous seeds (L&N 3.30).
2 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the owner’s statement.
