40:013:023 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.
40:013:024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
40:013:025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
wheat, and went his way.
40:013:026 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also.
40:013:027 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
40:013:028 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said
unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
40:013:029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root
up also the wheat with them.
40:013:030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
40:013:031 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,
and sowed in his field:
40:013:032 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,
it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that
the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
