Jesus told them another parable:“ The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Jesus told the crowd another story.“ Here is what the kingdom of heaven is like,” he said.“ A man planted good seed in his field.

He put another parable before them, saying,“ The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field,

He presented another parable to them:“ The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Jesus presented another parable to them, saying,“ The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Another parable He put forth to them, saying:“ The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:

He presented another parable to them:“ The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

He presented them with another parable:“ The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.

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

“ Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten bridesmaids who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom.

“ For the Kingdom of Heaven is like the landowner who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard.

“ Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind.

He also asked,“ What else is the Kingdom of God like?

“ The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a king who prepared a great wedding feast for his son.

“ The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.“ Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls.

Jesus also used this illustration:“ The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.”

“ Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him.

The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts.

“ Now listen to another story. A certain landowner planted a vineyard, built a wall around it, dug a pit for pressing out the grape juice, and built a lookout tower. Then he leased the vineyard to tenant farmers and moved to another country.

Here is another illustration Jesus used:“ The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field.

“ Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”

Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.

Jesus replied,“ The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed.

Jesus also said,“ The Kingdom of God is like a farmer who scatters seed on the ground.Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens.The earth produces the crops on its own. First a leaf blade pushes through, then the heads of wheat are formed, and finally the grain ripens.And as soon as the grain is ready, the farmer comes and harvests it with a sickle, for the harvest time has come.”Jesus said,“ How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it?

For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.

Then Jesus said,“ What is the Kingdom of God like? How can I illustrate it?

which come from your confident hope of what God has reserved for you in heaven. You have had this expectation ever since you first heard the truth of the Good News.

Samson said to them,“ Let me tell you a riddle. If you solve my riddle during these seven days of the celebration, I will give you thirty fine linen robes and thirty sets of festive clothing.But if you can’t solve it, then you must give me thirty fine linen robes and thirty sets of festive clothing.”“ All right,” they agreed,“ let’s hear your riddle.”

So the Lord will spell out his message for them again, one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there, so that they will stumble and fall. They will be injured, trapped, and captured.

“ Son of man, give this riddle, and tell this story to the people of Israel.

He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!”
