The enemy sowing tares

Saint Matthew -Chapter 13

The enemy sowing tares. J-J Tissot.

[24] Aliam parabolam proposuit illis, dicens : Simile factum est regnum caelorum homini, qui seminavit bonum semen in agro suo :
Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.

[25] cum autem dormirent homines, venit inimicus ejus, et superseminavit zizania in medio tritici, et abiit.
But while men were asleep, his enemy came and over-sowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.

[26] Cum autem crevisset herba, et fructum fecisset, tunc apparuerunt et zizania.
And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.

[27] Accedentes autem servi patrisfamilias, dixerunt ei : Domine, nonne bonum semen seminasti in agro tuo? unde ergo habet zizania?
And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?

[28] Et ait illis : Inimicus homo hoc fecit. Servi autem dixerunt ei : Vis, imus, et colligimus ea?
And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?

[29] Et ait : Non : ne forte colligentes zizania, eradicetis simul cum eis et triticum.
And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.

[30] Sinite utraque crescere usque ad messem, et in tempore messis dicam messoribus : Colligite primum zizania, et alligate ea in fasciculos ad comburendum : triticum autem congregate in horreum meum.
Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
