THE HARVEST BOMB

A certain farmer sowed good seed in his feed,
but while men slept,his enemy came and sowed
tares among the wheat,and went on his way,
when the blade sprung up and brought forth
fruits,then appeared the tares also.

So the servant of the householder came and said
unto him,sir,didst not thou sow seed in thy fields?
from whence then hath tares?,he answered him,the
enemy hath done this,the servant said unto him,
wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

But he said,no lest while you gather up the tares,
you root up also the wheat with them,let both grow
together until harvest,in the harvest time the reapers
gather the first tares and bind them in bundles to
burn,but the wheat is gathered into the barn.
