Bible verses about "seeds" | VIN

¹⁹ "'Obey my laws. Never crossbreed different kinds of animals. Do not plant two kinds of crops in your field. Never wear clothes made from two kinds of material.

¹ Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him, ² and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had come out, ³ Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means. ⁴ While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable: ⁵ "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some seeds fell along the path, were trampled on, and birds from the sky ate them up. ⁶ Other seed fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture. ⁷ Other seed fell among the thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings. ⁸ But others fell on good soil, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold." When he had said this he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" ⁹ And his disciples asked him what this parable meant. ¹⁰ He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘Though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’ ¹¹ "This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God. ¹² The ones along the path are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved. ¹³ And those upon the rock are those who receive the word with joy when they hear; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of testing fall away. ¹⁴ The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature. ¹⁵ But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop. ¹⁶ "No one lights a lamp and hides it under a bowl or puts it under a bed. Instead, he puts it on a lamp stand so that those who come in will see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing concealed that will not be known and illuminated. ¹⁸ Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.” ¹⁹ Now his mother and brothers came to him, and they were not able to meet with him because of the crowd. ²⁰ But some one told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you." ²¹ But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.” ²² One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out. ²³ As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. ²⁴ The disciples went and woke Him saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm. ²⁵ “Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!” ²⁶ They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee. ²⁷ When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs. ²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!” ²⁹ For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places. ³⁰ Jesus asked him, What is your name? He said, Legion, because many demons had entered into him. ³¹ And they begged him repeatedly not to command them to go into the Abyss. ³² Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let them enter them. So he gave them permission. ³³ Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. ³⁴ When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside. ³⁵ So the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind, they were frightened. ³⁶ Then those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been saved. ³⁷ Then all the people from the region surrounding the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were terrified. So he got into a boat and started back. ³⁸ But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, ³⁹ “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him. ⁴⁰ Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And a man named Jairus, and he a ruler of the synagogue came: and fell down at Jesus feet, and besought him to come to his house; ⁴² because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him, ⁴³ and a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years which no one could cure, ⁴⁴ She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. ⁴⁵ “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.” ⁴⁶ But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; for I know that power has gone out from me." ⁴⁷ Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace." ⁴⁹ While He was still speaking, someone came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead; stop troubling the Teacher anymore." ⁵⁰ But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” ⁵¹ When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother. ⁵² And all the people were weeping and crying for her; but he said, Do not be sad, for she is not dead, but sleeping. ⁵³ They laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!” ⁵⁵ Her spirit returned and at once she stood up. He told them to give her something to eat. ⁵⁶ Her parents were astonished, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.

⁶ I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. ⁷ So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

¹¹ Then God said: "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them." It was so.

³⁸ But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.

⁸ The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

¹² Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a seed; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

⁶ Consider this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

⁷ Do not be deceived. God is not mocked! A man will harvest what he sows.

²⁹ Then God said: "I give you every plant that bears seed on the face of the entire earth. I also give you every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
