Matthew 13:25 in Context — Matthew 13

23 Mas el que fué sembrado en buena tierra, éste es el que oye y entiende la palabra, y el que lleva fruto: y lleva uno á ciento, y otro á sesenta, y otro á treinta.

24 Otra parábola les propuso, diciendo: El reino de los cielos es semejante al hombre que siembra buena simiente en su campo:

25 Mas durmiendo los hombres, vino su enemigo, y sembró cizaña entre el trigo, y se fué.

26 Y como la hierba salió é hizo fruto, entonces apareció también la cizaña.

27 Y llegándose los siervos del padre de la familia, le dijeron: Señor, ¿no sembraste buena simiente en tu campo? ¿de dónde, pues, tiene cizaña?
