MATTHEW 13:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.”
But he said: no, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. The master's restraint: the premature separation of weeds from wheat would damage the wheat. The intertwined root systems of the two plants make premature removal dangerous. The parable addresses the impatience of those who want to purify the community now — the master's response is to wait for the harvest.
