3
He used parables to tell them many things. "Once there was a man who went out to sow grain.
4
As he scattered the seed in the field, some of it fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5
Some of it fell on rocky ground, where there was little soil. The seeds soon sprouted, because the soil wasn't deep.
6
But when the sun came up, it burned the young plants; and because the roots had not grown deep enough, the plants soon dried up.
7
Some of the seed fell among thorn bushes, which grew up and choked the plants.
8
But some seeds fell in good soil, and the plants bore grain: some had one hundred grains, others sixty, and others thirty."
9
And Jesus concluded, "Listen, then, if you have ears!"
Matthew 13:18-30
18
"Listen, then, and learn what the parable of the sower means.
19
Those who hear the message about the Kingdom but do not understand it are like the seeds that fell along the path. The Evil One comes and snatches away what was sown in them.
20
The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those who receive the message gladly as soon as they hear it.
21
But it does not sink deep into them, and they don't last long. So when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once.
22
The seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for those who hear the message; but the worries about this life and the love for riches choke the message, and they don't bear fruit.
23
And the seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hear the message and understand it: they bear fruit, some as much as one hundred, others sixty, and others thirty."
24
Jesus told them another parable: "The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man sowed good seed in his field.
25
One night, when everyone was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.
26
When the plants grew and the heads of grain began to form, then the weeds showed up.
27
The man's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, it was good seed you sowed in your field; where did the weeds come from?'
28
'It was some enemy who did this,' he answered. 'Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?' they asked him.
29
'No,' he answered, 'because as you gather the weeds you might pull up some of the wheat along with them.
30
Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them, and then to gather in the wheat and put it in my barn.' "
Matthew 13:36-42
36
When Jesus had left the crowd and gone indoors, his disciples came to him and said, "Tell us what the parable about the weeds in the field means."
37
Jesus answered, "The man who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man;
38
the field is the world; the good seed is the people who belong to the Kingdom; the weeds are the people who belong to the Evil One;
39
and the enemy who sowed the weeds is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvest workers are angels.
40
Just as the weeds are gathered up and burned in the fire, so the same thing will happen at the end of the age:
41
the Son of Man will send out his angels to gather up out of his Kingdom all those who cause people to sin and all others who do evil things,
42
and they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where they will cry and gnash their teeth.
Matthew 20:1-14
1
"The Kingdom of heaven is like this. Once there was a man who went out early in the morning to hire some men to work in his vineyard.
2
He agreed to pay them the regular wage, a silver coin a day, and sent them to work in his vineyard.
3
He went out again to the marketplace at nine o'clock and saw some men standing there doing nothing,
4
so he told them, 'You also go and work in the vineyard, and I will pay you a fair wage.'
5
So they went. Then at twelve o'clock and again at three o'clock he did the same thing.
6
It was nearly five o'clock when he went to the marketplace and saw some other men still standing there. 'Why are you wasting the whole day here doing nothing?' he asked them.
7
'No one hired us,' they answered. 'Well, then, you go and work in the vineyard,' he told them.
8
"When evening came, the owner told his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with those who were hired last and ending with those who were hired first.'
9
The men who had begun to work at five o'clock were paid a silver coin each.
10
So when the men who were the first to be hired came to be paid, they thought they would get more; but they too were given a silver coin each.
11
They took their money and started grumbling against the employer.
12
'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'while we put up with a whole day's work in the hot sun---yet you paid them the same as you paid us!'
13
'Listen, friend,' the owner answered one of them, 'I have not cheated you. After all, you agreed to do a day's work for one silver coin.
14
Now take your pay and go home. I want to give this man who was hired last as much as I gave you.
Matthew 21:23-44
23
Jesus came back to the Temple; and as he taught, the chief priests and the elders came to him and asked, "What right do you have to do these things? Who gave you such right?"
24
Jesus answered them, "I will ask you just one question, and if you give me an answer, I will tell you what right I have to do these things.
25
Where did John's right to baptize come from: was it from God or from human beings?" They started to argue among themselves, "What shall we say? If we answer, 'From God,' he will say to us, 'Why, then, did you not believe John?'
26
But if we say, 'From human beings,' we are afraid of what the people might do, because they are all convinced that John was a prophet."
27
So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you, then, by what right I do these things.
28
"Now, what do you think? There was once a man who had two sons. He went to the older one and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
29
'I don't want to,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30
Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. 'Yes, sir,' he answered, but he did not go.
31
Which one of the two did what his father wanted?" "The older one," they answered. So Jesus said to them, "I tell you: the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the Kingdom of God ahead of you.
32
For John the Baptist came to you showing you the right path to take, and you would not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Even when you saw this, you did not later change your minds and believe him.
33
"Listen to another parable," Jesus said. "There was once a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a hole for the wine press, and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to tenants and left home on a trip.
34
When the time came to gather the grapes, he sent his slaves to the tenants to receive his share of the harvest.
35
The tenants grabbed his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36
Again the man sent other slaves, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.
37
Last of all he sent his son to them. 'Surely they will respect my son,' he said.
38
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, 'This is the owner's son. Come on, let's kill him, and we will get his property!'
39
So they grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40
"Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" Jesus asked.
41
"He will certainly kill those evil men," they answered, "and rent the vineyard out to other tenants, who will give him his share of the harvest at the right time."
42
Jesus said to them, "Haven't you ever read what the Scriptures say? 'The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all. This was done by the Lord; what a wonderful sight it is!'
43
"And so I tell you," added Jesus, "the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce the proper fruits."
Mark 4:26-29
26
Jesus went on to say, "The Kingdom of God is like this. A man scatters seed in his field.
27
He sleeps at night, is up and about during the day, and all the while the seeds are sprouting and growing. Yet he does not know how it happens.
28
The soil itself makes the plants grow and bear fruit; first the tender stalk appears, then the head, and finally the head full of grain.
29
When the grain is ripe, the man starts cutting it with his sickle, because harvest time has come.
John 4:35-38
35
You have a saying, 'Four more months and then the harvest.' But I tell you, take a good look at the fields; the crops are now ripe and ready to be harvested!
36
The one who reaps the harvest is being paid and gathers the crops for eternal life; so the one who plants and the one who reaps will be glad together.
37
For the saying is true, 'Someone plants, someone else reaps.'
38
I have sent you to reap a harvest in a field where you did not work; others worked there, and you profit from their work."
John 15:1-8
1
"I am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2
He breaks off every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and he prunes every branch that does bear fruit, so that it will be clean and bear more fruit.
3
You have been made clean already by the teaching I have given you.
4
Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the vine. In the same way you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5
"I am the vine, and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear much fruit; for you can do nothing without me.
6
Those who do not remain in me are thrown out like a branch and dry up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burned.
7
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it.
8
My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.
