Matthew 13:25 in Context — Matthew 13

23 Celui qui a reçu la semence dans la bonne terre, c’est celui qui entend la parole et la comprend; il porte du fruit, et un grain en donne cent, un autre soixante, un autre trente.

24 Il leur proposa une autre parabole, et il dit: Le royaume des cieux est semblable à un homme qui a semé une bonne semence dans son champ.

25 Mais, pendant que les gens dormaient, son ennemi vint, sema de l’ivraie parmi le blé, et s’en alla.

26 Lorsque l’herbe eut poussé et donné du fruit, l’ivraie parut aussi.

27 Les serviteurs du maître de la maison vinrent lui dire: Seigneur, n’as-tu pas semé une bonne semence dans ton champ? D’où vient donc qu’il y a de l’ivraie?
