[22] He also that received seed among the thorns he that heareth the word; and the care world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. [23] But he that received seed into the good ground he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. [24] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: [25] But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. [26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. [27] So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? [28] He said unto them, An enemy hath done The servants unto him, Wilt thou then that we go them up? [29] But he said, Nay; while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. [30] Let both grow together 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 barn. [31] Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: [32] Which indeed the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. [33] Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
