    18 “So listen to the parable of the sower:

    19 When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches what was sown in his heart; this is the seed sown along the path.

    20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.

    21 But he has no root in himself and does not endure; when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.

    22 The seed sown among thorns is the person who hears the word, but worldly cares and the seductiveness of wealth choke the word, so it produces nothing.

    23 But as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands. He bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”

    24 The Parable of the Weeds He presented them with another parable:“The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.

    38 The field is the world and the good seed are the people of the kingdom. The poisonous weeds are the people of the evil one,

    39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

    40 As the poisonous weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
