Matthew 13:22-24

Modern English Version

²² He also who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, but the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. ²³ But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit. Some produce a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”

The Parable of the Weeds

²⁴ He told them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
