THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
|
Matthew 13:3-8 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way
side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: |
 |
Matthew 13:18-23 18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom,
and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away
that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by
the way side. |
| 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: | |
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; |
|
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. |
|
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. |
| 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: | |
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. |
8 But
other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold,
some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. |
|
23 But he that received
seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth
it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold,
some sixty, some thirty. KJV  |
