"The sower went forth to sow his seed. And in his sowing some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the heaven devoured it.

And, in his sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the birds, coming, devoured them.

And He Who supplieth seed to the sower, and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

And it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured it.

Another parable He set before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven was likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field;

And the servants of the house-holder, corning near, said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares?'

Another parable He set before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man, having taken, sowed in his field:

And, answering, He said, "He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his Seed. He saith not, "And to seeds," as of many; but as of One, "and to your Seed"; which is Christ.

neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children; but, "In Isaac shall your seed be called."

It is like to a grain of mustard, which when it is sown upon the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth,

"Teacher, Moses wrote to us, 'If any man's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.'

There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife; and, dying, left no seed.

And the second took her, and died, leaving no seed; and the third likewise.

And the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.

saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If any one die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.'

Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first, marrying, died; and, not having seed, he left his wife to his brother.

(as He spake to our fathers), to Abraham and to his seed forever."

Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man, taking, cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in its branches."

And the Lord said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye would say to this sycamine tree, 'Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
