And this John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a girdle of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field.

And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe the lilies of the field, how they grow: they do not toil or spin,

But if God dresses the grass of the field in this way, [although it] is [here] today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not [do so] much more [for] you, you of little faith?

So pray the Lord of the harvest to send out reapers to His harvest field."

At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the grain field; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of grain, and to eat.

So the slaves of the master of the house came [and] said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have darnel?'

and the field is the world. And the good seed--these are the sons of the kingdom, but the darnel are the sons of the evil one.

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, that a man found [and] concealed, and in his joy he goes and sells everything that he has and buys that field.

And [after] taking counsel, they purchased {with} them the Potter's Field, for a burial place for strangers.

(For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood until today.)

and they gave them for the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me."
