And while he was sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and ate them up. And others fell among stones, where they had not much earth: and sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of earth: and the sun having risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. But others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell in good ground, and gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty. Let him that hath ears to hear, hear. And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables? He responding said to them, Because it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given. But whosoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have more abundantly: but whosoever has not, it shall be taken from him even what he has. Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled unto them, saying, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may not perceive. Because the heart of this people is waxed gross, and they heard heavily with their ears, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I shall heal them. But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. Truly I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see those things which you see, and saw them not; and to hear those things which you hear, and heard them not. Therefore hear ye the parable of the sower. Every one hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding it, the wicked one comes, and seizes away that which is sown in his heart: he is the one sown by the wayside. But the one sown upon the rocks, is he who heareth the word, and immediately with joy receives it; but it has no root in him, but is temporary; and tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, immediately he is offended. But the one sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word; and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke out the word, and he becomes unfruitful. And the one having been sown on good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly bears fruit, and produces, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.

and it came to pass while he was sowing, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured it. And other fell upon stones, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: and when the sun arose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And other fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up, and choked it, and it gave no fruit. And other fell in good ground, and springing up and growing, gave fruit, and produced, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred. And He said, Let the one having ears to hear, hear. And when they were alone, and those around Him along with the twelve asked Him the parable. And He said to them, To you it has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them who are without, all things are in parables: in order that seeing they may see, and not know; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they may turn, and their sins may he forgiven unto them. And He says to them, Do you not understand this parable? and how will you know all parables? The sower sows the word. And those who are by the way-side, where the word is sown; and when they hear it, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which was sown in their hearts. And those who are sowed upon the rocks are likewise, those who, when they may hear the word, immediately with joy receive it. And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary; then tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, they are immediately offended: and others are those who are sown among the thorns; they are those hearing the word, and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and desires concerning other things coming into them, choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful. And these are they who are sown on good ground; whosoever hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.

A great multitude being with Him, and coming to Him throughout every city, He spoke in a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed. And while he was sowing, some fell by the way, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it.

And other fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns growing together, choked it out. And other fell into good ground, and springing up, produced fruit, a hundredfold. Speaking these things, He cried out, Let the one having ears to hear, hear. And His disciples asked Him saying, What might this parable be? And He said; To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. And there are those who hear by the wayside; then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest they believing may be saved. And those on the stones are they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy; and they have no root in them, who believe for a time, and in time of temptation they fall away. And that which falleth among thorns, there are those who hear, and going forward, by the cares and riches and pleasures are choked out, and bring forth no fruit to perfection. And that which is in the good ground, are those whosoever hearing the word in a beautiful and good heart, retain it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Thou foolish one, that which thou sowest, is not quickened unless it may die;

But one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what body do they come? Thou foolish one, that which thou sowest, is not quickened unless it may die; and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but naked grain, if it may happen to be of wheat, or of some one of the other grains;read more.
but God gives it a body as he wished; and to each of the seeds its own body.

But the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who are making peace.

But it is this, he that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man may sow, that shall he also reap: because the one sowing to his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but the one sowing to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap eternal life. But let us not get weary doing that which is good: for in due time we will reap, fainting not.
