## Matthew 13:28-30 in Context (Verses 25–33 KJV)
 
 [25 ](/kjv/matthew/13/25) But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/matthew/13/26) But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/matthew/13/27) So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
 
 [28 ](/kjv/matthew/13/28) He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
 
 [29 ](/kjv/matthew/13/29) But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/matthew/13/30) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/matthew/13/31) ¶ Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
 
 [32 ](/kjv/matthew/13/32) Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/matthew/13/33) ¶ Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
