'Seed' in the Bible

As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever."

"The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.

Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."

The Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
