'Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?' they asked him. (29) 'No,' he answered, 'because as you gather the weeds you might pull up some of the wheat along with them. (30) Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them, and then to gather in the wheat and put it in my barn.' "

(29) But he said, 'No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.

But the slaves said to him, 'So do you want, having gone away, [that] we will gather them up?' (29) "But he was saying, 'No, lest gathering up the darnel youp uproot the wheat with it.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
