Parable of the Sower - literal
| What is the kingdom?
Who is the 'word of the kingdom'? |
Mt 13:19 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. | |
| Who is the seed? | Mt 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; | |
| Who is the root? | Mt 13:21 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. | |
| Mt 13:22 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. | ||
| Mt 13:23 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. |
