READ MATTHEW 13:24-30.<br />
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good<br />
seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds<br />
among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the<br />
weeds also appeared.<br />
“The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field?<br />
Where then did the weeds come from?’<br />
“‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.<br />
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’<br />
“‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the<br />
wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the<br />
harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the<br />
wheat and bring it into my barn.’”<br />
READ MATTHEW 13:44-46.<br />
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid<br />
it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.<br />
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found<br />
one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.<br />
