Matthew 13:25
While everyone was asleep, his enemy came, sowed weeds among the wheat, and left.
Parable of the Weeds Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
As for the seed that falls on good soil, it is the one who hears the word and understands it; this seed bears fruit and produces a hundred, sixty, or thirty times more.”
The seed that falls among the thistles is the one who hears the word but then gets distracted by the worries of life and the love of money, which choke the word so it does not produce fruit.
But such a person has no roots and only lasts for a short time. As soon as he is harassed or persecuted because of the word, he gives up.
The seed that falls on rocky ground represents the person who hears the word and immediately accepts it with joy.
When someone hears the message of the kingdom but doesn’t take it seriously, the devil comes and takes away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed that fell along the footpath.
For I tell you, many prophets and righteous people have longed to see the things you see, but they did not see them; and to hear the things you hear, but they did not hear them.
