00:00Parable of the wheat and tares
00:01Once upon a time, in a sunny and fertile land,
00:06a kind farmer named Joaquim.
00:09Joaquim loved the land and spent his days there.
00:12taking great care of his wheat field.
00:16He sowed the seed, watered the soil.
00:18and he rejoiced at seeing the little green plants
00:21sprouting and growing towards the sky.
00:23Joaquim's wheat was known throughout the region.
00:26It was strong, golden, and made delicious bread.
00:30which fed many families.
00:32Joaquim felt happy and fulfilled to be able to
00:35To help people with the fruits of their labor.
00:39But one night, while Joaquim was sleeping,
00:42an envious and malicious man named Teodoro
00:45invaded the wheat field.
00:47Teodoro didn't like Joaquim.
00:50and was jealous of his success.
00:52So, he decided to ruin Joaquim's work.
00:56sowing tares among the wheat.
00:59Darnel was a weed.
01:02very similar to wheat.
01:04When I was growing up,
01:06It was difficult to distinguish one from the other at first.
01:10Teodoro knew that Joaquim would have difficulties.
01:13in separating the wheat from the chaff
01:15and that this would harm the harvest.
01:18The next morning, Joaquim woke up and went to the field.
01:21As usual, he was horrified.
01:24upon seeing that there were many strange plants
01:27mixed with wheat.
01:28Joaquim didn't know what that was.
01:30And he became very worried.
01:32He called his servants, Elijah and Sarah,
01:35and showed them the strange plants.
01:37Elijah was an experienced servant.
01:39and knowledgeable about plants.
01:41He carefully examined the plants.
01:43and said,
01:44Sir, that is weeds.
01:47Someone sowed weeds among his wheat.
01:49Joaquim was furious.
01:52Who would do such a thing?
01:53He asked, indignantly.
01:56Sarah, who was a wise and calm servant,
01:59he responded,
02:00Sir, it doesn't matter who did this,
02:03The important thing now is to figure out what to do.
02:07Joachim asked Elias,
02:09What should we do, Elijah?
02:11We must?
02:12To pull out?
02:13The weeds?
02:14Elias thought for a moment and said,
02:17Lord, if we pull up the weeds now,
02:19We run the risk of uprooting the wheat as well.
02:22The roots of the two plants are intertwined.
02:25And we could end up harming the harvest.
02:28It's best to wait until harvest time.
02:31then separate the wheat from the chaff.
02:35Joachim trusted in Elijah's wisdom and decided to follow his advice.
02:41He ordered his servants to continue tending the field,
02:45watering and protecting both the wheat and the tares.
02:50As the months passed, the wheat and the tares grew together in the field.
02:55It was becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish one from the other.
02:58People passing by the field were commenting,
03:01How strange, Joachim's field is full of weeds.
03:06Will he be able to reap anything good?
03:08Joaquim heard the comments, but he didn't let them get him down.
03:13He trusted that in due time he would be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.
03:19and that the harvest would be good.
03:21Finally, harvest time arrived.
03:24Joachim gathered his servants and said,
03:26Now is the time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
03:31Be careful and do a good job.
03:34Elijah and Sarah led the servants in the harvest.
03:37They carefully cut the plants and separated the wheat from the chaff.
03:42The wheat was placed in baskets and the tares were tied in bundles.
03:47Meanwhile, the nobles and close friends of the king,
03:50who had refused the invitation,
03:53They heard about the joy and abundance at the banquet.
03:56Remorseful, they decided to go to the castle.
03:59hoping to be forgiven and admitted to the party.
04:03After harvesting the entire field,
04:05Joachim ordered that the tares be burned.
04:08The wheat, however, was taken to the barn.
04:11where it would be stored to feed people during the winter.
04:16When Theodore saw the tares being burned
04:19and the wheat being taken to the barn,
04:22He was furious and ashamed.
04:26He realized that his wickedness had been useless.
04:28and that Joaquim had managed to overcome his envy.
04:32Joaquim, for his part, was pleased with the harvest results.
04:37He had lost some wheat because of the weeds.
04:40But in the end, he managed to harvest enough to feed his family and the people of the region.
04:48Joaquim learned an important lesson from this experience.
04:51He learned that good and evil can coexist in the world.
04:56But in the end, good always prevails.
05:00He also learned to be patient and to trust that, in due time, justice will be served.
05:07And, above all, Joaquim taught everyone that envy and malice never bring happiness.
05:14but rather suffering and shame.
05:17And so, Joachim continued tending his wheat field.
05:21sowing good and patiently awaiting the harvest,
05:25knowing that, in the end, the wheat would always outweigh the chaff.
05:31That's all for today, but don't worry.
05:33We'll be back soon.
