“They gave fruit one hundred for one”
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew (13, 1-9)
Alleluia. Alleluia.
The seed is the word of God,
the sower is Christ;
whoever finds it remains forever.
Alleluia. (cf. Mt 13, 4.23)
That day Jesus had come out of the house
and was seated by the sea.
Close to him such large crowds gathered that
he got into a boat and sat down;
the whole crowd stood on the shore.
He told them many things in parables:
“Behold, the sower went out to sow.
As he was sowing,
grains fell by the wayside,
and the birds came to eat everything.
Others fell on the stony ground,
where they did not have much earth;
they got up right away,
because the earth was shallow.
The sun having risen, they burned
and, for lack of roots, they dried up.
Others have fallen into the brambles;
the brambles grew and suffocated them.
Others fell in good soil,
and they brought forth fruit
at the rate of a hundred, or sixty, or thirty to one.
He who has ears,
let him hear! "
- Let us acclaim the Word of God.
