But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. The enemy's nighttime counter-sowing — planting weeds among the good grain — is the activity of the devil (verse 39). The enemy who sows weeds in the man's field is the one who introduced the children of the evil one into the world alongside the children of the kingdom. The sleeping servants communicate the impossibility of preventing the enemy's work during the age before the harvest.
