In the parable of the weeds, the enemy who sowed weeds among the wheat is Satan, the devil. Jesus tells this parable in Matthew 13:24-30 to explain how evil exists alongside good in the world, and how they will be separated at the end of time. The man who sowed good seed is Jesus, and the field is the world. The weeds represent the sons of the evil one, and the wheat represents the sons of the kingdom. The enemy who sowed the weeds is identified as the devil in verse 39. Thus, Satan is the one who tries to sabotage the good work of Jesus by sowing evil in the world.
