¹⁴ The sower soweth the word.

² And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

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

²³ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

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

²⁵ But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

⁵ For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

⁶ Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

⁴ Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

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

² Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

³ Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

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