23. But he that is sown upon the good ground--this is he who hears and understands the word, who bears fruit also, and produces, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
24. Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
25. but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.
26. But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also.
27. And the bondmen of the householder came up and said to him, Sir, hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whence then has it darnel?
28. And he said to them, A man that is an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it up?
29. But he said, No; lest in gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.
