Matthew 13:24-30 paraphrase
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a programmer who started many
processes on her computer. While everyone was sleeping, a hacker broke in
and started some counterfeit jobs, which began using some of the CPU time.
The programmer's assistants said, "Didn't you start useful jobs on the
computer? Where then did these counterfeits come from?" "A hacker did
this, " she replied. The assistants asked her, "Do you want us to kill the
jobs?" "No," she answered, "because while you are killing them, some good
processes might be interrupted by accident. Let them all go to completion.
Then we will purge every counterfeit process from the disk and memory, and
save the results of every good process onto permanent tape." (Matthew
13:24-30)
