'Seeds' in the Bible
As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Other seeds fell on stony ground, where they did not have a lot of soil. They sprouted at once because the soil wasn't deep.
Other seeds fell among thorn bushes, and the thorn bushes grew higher and choked them out.
But other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some 100, some 60, and some 30 times what was sown.
Although it is the smallest of all seeds, when it is fully grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, and the birds in the sky come and nest in its branches."
As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, and birds came and ate them up.
Some people are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Others are like the seeds sown on the stony ground. When they hear the word, at once they joyfully accept it,
Still others are like the seeds sown among the thorn bushes. These are the people who hear the word,
Others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, accept it, and produce crops 30, 60, or 100 times what was sown."
He was also saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seeds on the ground.
He sleeps and gets up night and day while the seeds sprout and grow, although he doesn't know how
It's like a mustard seed planted in the ground. Although it's the smallest of all the seeds on earth,
"A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, were trampled on, and birds from the sky ate them up.
