He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
