Compare all
23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears afruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”  

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’
29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but agather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”  

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

31 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: a“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,  
32 which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a atree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
