- While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, he told this parable:
- "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up.
- Some fell on rock, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture.
- Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants.
- Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown." When he said this, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
|
- When a large crowd was coming together, and those from the various cities were journeying to Him, He spoke by way of a parable:
- "The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.
- "Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
- "Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.
- "Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great." As He said these things, He would call out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
|
- His disciples asked him what this parable meant.
- He said, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, " 'though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.'
- "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
- Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
- Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.
|
- His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.
- And He said, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that SEEING THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.
- "Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.
- "Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.
- "Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.
|
- The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.
- But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.
- "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.
- For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
- Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."
|
- "The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
- "But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.
- "Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.
- "For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
- "So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him."
|
- Now Jesus' mother and brothers came to see him, but they were not able to get near him because of the crowd.
- Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you."
- He replied, "My mother and brothers are those who hear God's word and put it into practice."
|
- And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.
- And it was reported to Him, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You."
- But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."
