Matthew 13:27 - So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? where then did the tares come from?

Matthew 13:28 - He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Do you wish for us to go and gather them up?

Matthew 13:30 - Let both grow together until the harvest: and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Matthew 13:37 - He answered them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;

Matthew 13:38 - The field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the wicked one;

Matthew 13:39 - The enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Matthew 13:40 - Therefore, as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be at the end of this age.

Matthew 13:41 - The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity;

Matthew 25:16 - Then he who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and gained another five talents.

Matthew 25:17 - And likewise, he who had received two, gained two more.

Matthew 25:18 - But he who had received one went and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

Matthew 25:19 - After a long time the lord of those servants came, and settled accounts with them.

Matthew 25:24 - Then he who had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed:

Matthew 25:25 - And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the earth: lo, here you have what is yours.

Matthew 25:26 - His lord answered and said to him, You wicked and slothful servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed:

Matthew 25:27 - Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and then at my coming I should have received it back with interest.

Matthew 25:28 - Take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

Matthew 25:29 - For to every one who has shall more be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away.

Matthew 25:30 - And cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Luke 19:21 - For I feared you, because you are a severe man: you take up what you have not laid down, and reap what you did not sow.

Luke 19:22 - And he said to him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:

Luke 19:23 - Why then did you not put my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?

Luke 19:24 - And he said to those who stood by, Take from him the mina, and give it to him who has ten minas.

Luke 19:25 - And they said to him, Lord, he already has ten minas.

Matthew 13:11 - He answered them, It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

Matthew 13:18 - Hear then the parable of the sower.

Matthew 13:19 - When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown by the wayside.

Matthew 13:20 - The seed sown upon stony places is he who hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy;

Matthew 13:21 - Yet he has no root in himself, and endures only for a while: when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he falls away.

Matthew 13:22 - The seed sown among the thorns is he who hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Matthew 13:23 - But the seed sown on the good ground is he who hears the word, and understands it; he also bears fruit, and brings forth, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.

Mark 4:3 - Listen; Behold, a sower went out to sow:

Mark 4:4 - And it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

Mark 4:5 - And some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil:

Mark 4:6 - But when the sun came up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

Mark 4:7 - And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

Mark 4:8 - And other seed fell on good ground, and yielded fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundredfold.

Mark 4:13 - And he said to them, Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

Mark 4:11 - And he said to them, To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to those who are outside, all these things are done in parables:

Mark 4:14 - The sower sows the word.

Mark 4:15 - And these are the ones by the wayside, where the word is sown; when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in them.

Mark 4:16 - And likewise, these are the ones who are like seed sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

Mark 4:17 - But have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the word's sake, they immediately fall away.

Mark 4:18 - And these are the ones who are like seed sown among thorns; they hear the word,

Mark 4:19 - And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust for other things enter in, and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Mark 4:20 - And these are the ones who are like seed sown on good ground; they hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundredfold.

Luke 8:10 - And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others it is in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Luke 8:11 - Now the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Luke 8:12 - Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes, and takes the word from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

Luke 8:13 - Those on the rock are the ones, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but they have no root; they believe for a while, but in time of temptation fall away.

Luke 8:14 - And the seed which fell among thorns are those, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

Matthew 22:8 - Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

Matthew 22:9 - Therefore, go into the highways, and as many as you shall find, invite to the marriage feast.

Matthew 22:10 - So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

Matthew 22:11 - And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment:

Matthew 22:12 - And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Matthew 22:13 - Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
