Mark 4:14 (NASB)

The sower sows the word.

Galatians 6:8 (NASB)

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from

the Spirit reap eternal life.

The Mustard Seed

Matthew 13:31-32 (NASB) 31He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard

seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; 32 and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is

larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

The Sower Explained

Matthew 13:18-23 (NASB) 18 “Hear then the parable of the sower. 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and

does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom

seed was sown beside the road. 20The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the

word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when

affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away. 22 And the one on whom seed was sown

among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth

choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 23And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man

who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and

some thirty.”
