In the morning put your seed into the earth, and till the evening let not your hand be at rest; because you are not certain which will do well, this or thator if the two will be equally good.
A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.
Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.
