¹⁴ The sower soweth the word.

² And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room `for them', no, not even about the door: and he spake the word unto them.

³⁷ And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

²³ having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

²⁴ For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:

²⁵ But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you.

⁵ because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

⁶ which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as `it doth' in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

⁴ They therefore that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word.

¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

² even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning wer eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,

³ Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:

¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, `then' cometh the evil `one', and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

²⁰ Blessed are yet that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
