Bible verses about "seed" | DouayRheims

²⁹ And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat: ³⁰ And to all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life, that they may have to feed upon. And it was so done.

¹¹ And he said: let the earth bring forth green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth.

And God saw that it was good.

¹⁹ Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts.

⁸ And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.

¹ Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the acknowledging of the truth, which is according to godliness: ² Unto the hope of life everlasting, which God, who lieth not, hath promised before the times of the world: ³ But hath in due times manifested his word in preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour: ⁴ To Titus, my beloved son according to the common faith, grace and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Saviour. ⁵ For this cause I left thee in Crete: that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee: ⁶ If any be without crime, the husband of one wife. having faithful children, not accused of riot or unruly. ⁷ For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, nor given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre: ⁸ But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent: ⁹ Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to convince the gainsayers. ¹⁰ For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision. ¹¹ Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. ¹² One of them a prophet of their own, said: The Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, slothful bellies. ¹³ This testimony is true. Wherefore, rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith: ¹⁴ Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn themselves away from the truth. ¹⁵ All things are clean to the clean: but to them that are defiled and to unbelievers, nothing is clean: but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. ¹⁶ They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him: being abominable and incredulous and to every good work reprobate.

¹² And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed each one according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

¹² Sow for yourselves in justice, and reap in the mouth of mercy, break up your fallow ground: but the time to seek the Lord is, when he shall come that shall teach you justice.

¹ And it came to pass afterwards he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God: and the twelve with him: ² And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who is called Magdalen, out of whom seven devils were gone forth, ³ And Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna and many others who ministered unto him of their substance. ⁴ And when a very great multitude was gathered together and hastened out of the cities, unto him, he spoke by a similitude. ⁵ The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side. And it was trodden down: and the fowls of the air devoured it. ⁶ And other some fell upon a rock. And as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. ⁷ And other some fell among thorns. And the thorns growing up with it, choked it. ⁸ And other some fell upon good ground and, being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ⁹ And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. ¹⁰ To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand. ¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. ¹² And they by the way side are they that hear: then the devil cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. ¹³ Now they upon the rock are they who when they hear receive the word with joy: and these have no roots: for they believe for a while and in time of temptation they fall away. ¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns are they who have heard and, going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and yield no fruit. ¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it and bring forth fruit in patience. ¹⁶ Now no man lighting a candle covereth it with a vessel or putteth it under a bed: but setteth it upon a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is not any thing secret that shall not be made manifest, nor hidden that shall not be known and come abroad. ¹⁸ Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, that also which he thinketh he hath shall be taken away from him. ¹⁹ And his mother and brethren came unto him: and they could not come at him for the crowd. ²⁰ And it was told him: Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. ²¹ Who answering, said to them: My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God and do it. ²² And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples. And he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. ²³ And when they were sailing, he slept. And there came down a storm of wind upon the lake: and they were filled and were in danger. ²⁴ And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water. And it ceased: and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea: and they obey him? ²⁶ And they sailed to the country of the Gerasens, which is over against Galilee. ²⁷ And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time. And he wore no clothes: neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres. ²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me. ²⁹ For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him: and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters: and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts. ³⁰ And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion. Because many devils were entered into him. ³¹ And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. ³² And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. ³³ The devils therefore went out of the man and entered into the swine. And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake and were stifled. ³⁴ Which when they that fed them saw done, they fled away and told it in the city and in the villages. ³⁵ And they went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at his feet, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. ³⁶ And they also that had seen told them how he had been healed from the legion. ³⁷ And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again. ³⁸ Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying: ³⁹ Return to thy house and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him. ⁴⁰ And it came to pass that when Jesus was returned, the multitude received him: for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus: and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house: ⁴² For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went that he was thronged by the multitudes. ⁴³ And there was a certain woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had bestowed all her substance on physicians and could not be healed by any. ⁴⁴ She came behind him and touched the hem of his garment: and immediately the issue of her blood stopped. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said: Who is it that touched me? And all denying, Peter and they that were with him said: Master, the multitudes throng and press thee; and dost thou say, who touched me? ⁴⁶ And Jesus said: Somebody hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out from me. ⁴⁷ And the woman seeing that she was not hid, came trembling and fell down before his feet and declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed. ⁴⁸ But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go thy way in peace. ⁴⁹ As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead: trouble him not. ⁵⁰ And Jesus hearing this word, answered the father of the maid: Fear not. Believe only: and she shall be safe. ⁵¹ And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden. ⁵² And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not. The maid is not dead, but sleepeth. ⁵³ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned: and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done.

⁶ Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings shall also reap blessings.

²² Purifying your souls in the obedience of charity, with a brotherly love, from a sincere heart love one another earnestly: ²³ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. ²⁴ For all flesh is as grass and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered and the flower thereof is fallen away. ²⁵ But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you.

¹¹ And he said: let the earth bring forth green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.

^{20 (17:19)} Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain: Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible to you.

⁸ For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.

³⁶ Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first. ³⁷ And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be: but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest. ³⁸ But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.

³⁸ But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.

¹ The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side. ² And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore. ³ And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow. ⁴ And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up. ⁵ And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth. ⁶ And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away. ⁷ And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them. ⁸ And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some sixty fold, and some thirty fold. ⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁰ And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables? ¹¹ Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given. ¹² For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath. ¹³ Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. ¹⁴ And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive. ¹⁵ For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. ¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. ¹⁷ For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them: and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them. ¹⁸ Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. ²⁰ And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy. ²¹ Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized. ²² And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. ²³ But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty. ²⁴ Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. ²⁵ But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way. ²⁶ And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle. ²⁷ And the servants of the good man of the house coming said to him. Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath it cockle? ²⁸ And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? ²⁹ And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. ³⁰ Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn. ³¹ Another parable he proposed 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 is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof. ³³ Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. ³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them. ³⁵ That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. ³⁶ Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field. ³⁷ Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. ³⁸ And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle are the children of the wicked one. ³⁹ And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. ⁴⁰ Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. ⁴¹ The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity. ⁴² And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. ⁴⁵ Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls. ⁴⁶ Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. ⁴⁷ Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kinds of fishes. ⁴⁸ Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth. ⁴⁹ So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. ⁵⁰ And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹ Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes. ⁵² He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. ⁵³ And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence. ⁵⁴ And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? ⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude: ⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things? ⁵⁷ And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. ⁵⁸ And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

²⁹ And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:
