Ver. 26. In the one the Tares grow up with the Wheat.
Vers. 47. In the other, all kind of Fishes are gathered, good and bad; Concerning the former, the Servants of the Householder were offended at it; it grieved them at the heart to see the Weeds growing, yea (and it may be) over-growing the good Corn, and so hindering the maturing of it. They make their addresses to him for a present separation; 1and offer their faithful service for an utter radication of the Tares: 2Wilt thou that we gather them up? Nay, saith the Lord, a total extirpation of the Tares, may do more hurt than ye are aware of. Better (it seems) it is, that some Tares should remain, then the least grain of Wheat to perish: The distinguishing-Time is at hand; In the time of Harvest I will give order to the Reapers for a perfect separation.
