Matthew 13:26

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

But when the [green] shoots sprouted up and produced grain, weeds appeared also.

See the chapter Copy

but while his workers were asleep his enemy came and scattered weed seeds throughout his wheat field and then left.

The farmer’s hired hands came and asked him, ‘Did you not plant [only] good seed in your field? Where did the weeds come from [then]?’
