Matthew 13:3-4
3And ahe told them many things in parables, saying: b“A sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.Matthew 13:18-19
The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 c“Hear then the parable of the sower: 19When anyone hears the word of dthe kingdom and edoes not understand it, fthe evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.Matthew 13:24-26
The Parable of the Weeds
24He put another parable before them, saying, g“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds ▼▼Probably darnel, a wheat-like weed
among the wheat and went away. 26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. Matthew 13:37
37He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.Mark 4:2-4
2And ihe was teaching them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them: 3“Listen! jBehold, a sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.Mark 4:15
15And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.Mark 4:26-29
The Parable of the Seed Growing
26And he said, k“The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. 27He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; lhe knows not how. 28The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29But when the grain is ripe, at once mhe puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”Luke 8:11
11 nNow the parable is this: The seed is othe word of God.
