MATTHEW 13:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?”
He said to them: an enemy has done this. So the servants said to him: then do you want us to go and gather them? The master's identification of an enemy as the source of the weeds is the parable's theological core: the presence of evil alongside good in the world is not the master's failure but the enemy's work. The servants' offer to gather the weeds is the zealous but premature response that the master's next answer will correct.
