What does the Bible say about the parable of the wheat and the tares?

Answered in 2 sources

The parable of the wheat and the tares illustrates the coexistence of true believers and false believers in the kingdom of heaven until the final judgment.

The parable of the wheat and the tares, found in Matthew 13, teaches that in the kingdom of heaven, true believers (the wheat) and false believers (the tares) will grow together until the end of the age. This parable reveals the reality of spiritual warfare, wherein the enemy (the devil) sows tares among the wheat, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine faith and false profession until the final harvest. It emphasizes that God will ultimately separate the righteous from the wicked at His return, fulfilling His sovereign plan for His church.
