Jesus reveals, in the story that the workers first inquire about the source of the weeds and then ask if they should remove them. The owner responds that pulling the weeds would result in harm to the wheat. There will be a time, later, when the wheat is ready to be harvested that the weeds can be removed and destroyed. Jesus was revealing that good and evil will be present until a final day of Judgement when evil will be destroyed. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Matthew 13:27-30]
