Matthew 13:25

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

Matthew 13:29-30

13:29 But he said, ‘No, since in gathering the weeds you may uproot the wheat with them. 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned, but then gather the wheat into my barn.”’”


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).

tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

tn Grk “but.”

tn Grk “burned, but gather.”
