Matthew 13:28-30
13:28 He said, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So 1 the slaves replied, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them?’
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 2 harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned, but then 3 gather 4 the wheat into my barn.”’”
Matthew 13:40-41
13:40 As 5 the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
13:41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes sin as well as all lawbreakers. 6
