And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. And they by the way are they hearing; then comes the devil, and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they should be saved. And they upon the rock, who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; and they have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of trial fly away. And that having fallen into thorns, and they are they having heard, and with cares and riches, and pleasures of life going forth, are choked, and bring not to maturity.

And when he was alone, they about him with the twelve asked him of the parable. And he said to them, To you has it been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to those without, all are in parables: That seeing they might see, and not know; and hearing they might hear, and not understand; lest they turn back, and their sins be remitted to them. And he says to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all parables? He sowing sows the word. And these are they by the way, where the word is sown; and when they hear, quickly comes Satan, and takes away the word sown in their hearts.

And these are they sown in thorns; these are they hearing the word. And the cares of this time, and the deceit of riches, and eager desires about remaining things, coming in, choke the word, and it is unfruitful. And these are they sown on good earth; who hear the word, and receive, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; And he sleep, and should rise night and day, and the seed should sprout, and be raised; how, he knows not. For the earth bears fruit spontaneously; first the grass, then the ear, then the full wheat in the ear. read more.
But when the fruit should yield, quickly he sends the sickle, for the harvest is brought forward. And he said, To what should we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable should we hold it forth? As a kernel of mustard, which, when it be sown in the earth, is smaller than all seeds upon the earth: And when it be sown, it comes up and is greater than all vegetables, and makes great young shoots; so that the flying things of heaven can encamp under its shadow.
