The SEED parables

 

James 3:18

King James Version

18 And the fruit of righteousness 

is sown in peace of them that make peace.

From the previous post, we know the MAIN parable -- the Sower and the Seed.

It is to be the foundation for ALL parables.

As in these "SEED" parables from JESUS:

The parable of the WHEAT and tares:

Matthew 13:24-30

King James Version

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, 

The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man 

which 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 blade was sprung up, 

and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

27 So the servants of the householder came 

and said unto him, 

Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? 

from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, 

An enemy hath done this. 

The servants said unto him, 

Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

29 But he said, Nay; 

lest while ye gather up the tares, 

ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: 

and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, 

Gather ye together first the tares, 

and bind them in bundles to burn them: 

but gather the wheat into my barn.

The parable of the SEED and HARVEST:

Mark 4:26-29

King James Version

26 And he said, 

So is the kingdom of God, 

as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, 

and the seed should spring and grow up, 

he knoweth not how.

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; 

first the blade, 

then the ear, 

after that the full corn in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is brought forth, 

immediately he putteth in the sickle, 

because the harvest is come.

The parable of the MUSTARD seed:

Matthew 13:31-32

King James Version

31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, 

The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, 

which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: 

but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, 

and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air 

come and lodge in the branches thereof.
