Matthew 13:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word: but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he is made unfruitful.
23 But he that received the seed in the good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it, which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
24 ¶ [a]Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man which sowed good seed in his field.
