The Wheat and the Tares

Mattityahu 13:24–30

What Yeshua is saying

An enemy sows weeds among the wheat at night; the master forbids pulling them now and waits until harvest to separate them.

The explanation

The Kingdom grows in a world where evil is also planted. Yeshua refuses premature judgement — the field is His, the harvesters are malakim, and He alone separates at the end. Patience under wickedness is not weakness; it is trust in His coming reckoning.
