and as he sowed, some fell by the way, and the birds came and devoured it. And some fell on rocky places, where it had not much earth, and it came up immediately, because it had no depth of earth; and when the sun arose it was scorched, and because it had no root it was dried up. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it. But some fell on good ground, and bore fruit; some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty-fold. He that has ears let him hear. And his disciples came and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables? And he answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given; for whoever has, to him shall be also given, and he shall abound; but whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even what he has. For this reason I speak to them in parables; because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says; Hearing you shall hear and not understand, and seeing you shall see and not perceive; for the hearts of this people have become hard, and they hear imperfectly with their ears, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For I tell you truly, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see what you see and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear and have not heard it. Hear, therefore, the parable of the sower. When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and takes away the seed sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way. He that received seed on the rocky places is he that hears the word and immediately receives it with joy but has no root in himself, but is only a temporary [disciple]; and when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he is immediately offended. And he that received seed among thorns is he that hears the word, and the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. But he that received the seed in the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it, who also bears fruit, and produces some one hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty-fold.

AND again he taught by the lake; and a very great multitude came together to him, so that entering into a ship he sat on the lake, and all the multitude were by the lake on the land. And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them, in his teaching, Hear! behold a sower went out to sow;read more.
and in sowing, some fell on the way, and the birds came and devoured it. And some fell on a rocky place, where it had not much earth, and it came up immediately, because it had no depth of earth; and when the sun rose, it was scorched, and because it had no root it was dried up. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up and increasing, and bore one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said, He that has ears, let him hear. And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, asked him the parable. And he said to them, To you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those without all things are in parables; that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest at any time they should turn, and be forgiven. And he said to them, Do you not know this parable? How then will you know all parables? The sower sows the word. And these are those where the word is sown by the way; and when they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word which was sown upon them. And these in like manner are those sown on the rocky places; when they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy, and have no root in themselves, but are temporary [disciples]. Then, when affliction or persecution occurs on account of the word, they are immediately offended. And those sown among thorns are different. They are those who hear the word, and the cares of life, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of other things coming in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. And these are those sown in good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.

And a great multitude having come together, and persons having come to him from every city, he said in a parable, A sower went out to sow his seed; and in his sowing, some fell by the way, and was trodden down, and the birds of heaven devoured it; and some fell on the rock, and springing up it was dried up, because it had no moisture;read more.
and some fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns springing up choked it; and some fell on good ground, and growing up bore fruit a hundred fold. Having said these things, he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, What does this parable mean? And he said, It is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. But the parable signifies this; the seed is the word of God; those by the way are those who hear, then comes the devil and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved; those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and they have no root; they believe for a time, and in a time of trial fall away; and that which fell among thorns signifies those who hear, and going away are choked by cares and riches and the pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground signifies those who, with a noble and good heart, hearing the word retain it, and bear fruit persistently.

And Jesus said to them, On account of your unbelief. For I tell you truly, if you have a faith like a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed thence to that place, and it shall be removed; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified.

Foolish man, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies;

But some one will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Foolish man, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies; and what you sow, you sow not the body which shall be, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or some of the other grains;read more.
but God gives it a body as he pleases, and to each of the grains its own body.

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who make peace.

And [consider] this, He that sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he that sows liberally shall reap also liberally.

Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what a man sows, that shall he also reap; for he that sows for his flesh, shall of the flesh reap destruction; but he that sows for the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life eternal. Let us not be weary of well doing; for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
