"Then the one who had received one talent came forward and said, "Master, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you haven't planted and gathering where you haven't scattered any seed.

"His master answered him, "You evil and lazy servant! So you knew that I harvested where I haven't planted and gathered where I haven't scattered any seed?

Then other seeds fell into fertile soil, and growing up to maturity, they yielded an ever increasing crop. They produced thirty, sixty and even a hundred times [as much as was planted]."

A farmer planted 'the word' [i.e., the message of God].

And these are they by the wayside, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted in them.

And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

And [still] other [seed] fell into fertile soil; it grew and produced a crop of one hundred times [as much as was planted]. As He said these things, He called out, "The person who has ears to hear with ought to listen [to this] carefully."

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

I, planted, Apollos, watered, - but, God, caused to, grow.

So then the planter is nothing, and the waterer is nothing; but God who gives the increase.

Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

We work together in God's service; you are God's field to be planted, God's house to be built.

So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:
