    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.

    25 But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed darnel among the wheat and went away.

    26 When the plants sprouted and produced grain, then the darnel also appeared.

    27 So the slaves of the landowner came and said to him,‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the darnel come from?’

    28 He said,‘An enemy has done this!’ So the slaves replied,‘Do you want us to go and gather it?’

    29 But he said,‘No, since in gathering the darnel you may uproot the wheat along with it.

    30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At harvest time I will tell the reapers,“First collect the darnel and tie it in bundles to be burned, but then gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

    31 The Parable of the Mustard Seed He gave them another parable:“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.

    32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest garden plant and becomes a tree, so that the wild birds come and nest in its branches.”
