    18 "Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.

    19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn't understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

    20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;

    21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

    22 What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

    23 What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."

    24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

    25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.

    26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

    27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'

    28 "He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'

    29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

    30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

    31 He set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;

    32 which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches."
