Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens was made like a man sowing good seed in his field:

And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man:

And in his sowing some truly fell by the way, and the flying things came and swallowed them down.

Therefore hear ye the parable of him sowing.

And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares?
