4And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

stylus

Matthew 13:18, Matthew 13:19, Matthew 13:18, Matthew 13:19

5And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

stylus

Ezekiel 11:19, Ezekiel 11:19, Ezekiel 36:26, Ezekiel 36:26, Zechariah 7:12

stylus

Matthew 25:29, Matthew 25:29, Luke 8:18, Mark 4:24, Mark 4:25

13Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.

stylus

Ezekiel 12:2, Ezekiel 12:2, Jeremiah 5:21, Jeremiah 5:21, Isaiah 42:18

14And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:

stylus

Luke 8:11, Luke 8:15, Luke 8:11, Luke 8:15, Matthew 13:38

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

stylus

Ezekiel 33:31, Ezekiel 33:32, Ezekiel 33:31, Ezekiel 33:32, Psalms 106:12

stylus

Matthew 3:12, Matthew 3:12, 1 Timothy 5:24, 1 Timothy 5:24, 1 Corinthians 4:5

31He 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;

stylus

Luke 13:18, Luke 13:19, Luke 13:18, Luke 13:19, Matthew 17:20
