Some falls on rocky ground, where it has but scanty soil. It quickly shows itself above ground, because it has no depth of earth;
But a portion falls upon good ground, and gives a return, some a hundred for one, some sixty, some thirty.

"The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground.
So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you.'
for which reason that piece of ground received the name, which it still bears, of 'the Field of Blood.'
And then suddenly they saw Jesus coming to meet them. "Peace be to you," He said. And they came and clasped His feet, bowing to the ground before Him.
