'Sower' in the Bible

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

"The sower of the good seed," He replied, "is the Son of Man;

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

The sower soweth the word.

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so the sower and reaper can rejoice together.

for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
