And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. And others fell upon rocky places, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth of earth. read more.
But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them. And others fell upon good ground; and yielded fruit, some a hundred fold, some Sixty, some thirty fold.
But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them. And others fell upon good ground; and yielded fruit, some a hundred fold, some Sixty, some thirty fold.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the Evil One cometh, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart; this man is what was sown by the wayside. And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy, but, having no root within him, endureth only for a time; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth on account of the word, he immediately falleth away. read more.
And what was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. And what was sown on the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and yieldeth, one a hundred fold, another sixty, another thirty fold.

A sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside; and they were trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured them.

And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundredfold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him what this parable meant. And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [these things are spoken] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand. Now the meaning of the parable is this. The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved. Those on the rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And those seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But the seeds on the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, when they have heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with constancy.

Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came, and sowed tares among the wheat; and went away. But when the blade grew up, and put forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. read more.
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it tares? He said to them, An enemy did this.

Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles, to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.

the enemy that sowed them is the Devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the world.

And from every one to whom much hath been given, will much be required; and to whom much hath been entrusted, of him will the more be demanded.
And if in the second, or if in the third watch, he cometh and findeth them thus, happy are they. And be sure of this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye also ready; for at an hour when ye think not the Son of man cometh. And Peter said to him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or also to all? And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful, the wise steward, whom his lord will place over his household, to give the portion of food in due season? Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. I say to you in truth, that he will place him in charge of all his substance. But if that servant say in his heart, My lord is long in coming; and begin to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and be drunken, the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his lords will, and did not make ready, nor do according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes; but he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few. And from every one to whom much hath been given, will much be required; and to whom much hath been entrusted, of him will the more be demanded.

I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy.

But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end.
