'Sown' in the Bible

Those who receive the seed by the way-side are those in whom the Message is sown, but, when they have heard it, Satan comes at once and carries away the Message sown in them.

It is like a mustard-seed, which, when sown in the earth, is the smallest of all the seeds in the world;

yet when sown it springs up and becomes larger than all the herbs, and throws out great branches, so that the birds build under its shadow."
