Matthew 13:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless.

²³ But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty.

²⁴ Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.
