³⁰ Let ·the weeds and the wheat [^Lboth] grow together until the harvest time. At harvest time I will tell the ·workers [reapers], “First gather the ·weeds [^Ttares] and tie them ·together [in bundles] to be burned. Then gather the wheat and bring it to my barn.”’”

Stories of Mustard Seed and Yeast^(A)

³¹ Then Jesus ·told [presented to them] another ·story [parable]: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man ·planted [sowed] in his field. ³² That seed is the smallest of all seeds [^Cthe mustard seed was the smallest seed known to Jesus’ hearers], but when it grows, it is one of the largest garden plants. It becomes ·big enough [^La tree] for the ·wild birds [^Lbirds of the sky] to come and build nests in its branches.”
