And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this parable? and how shall you know all parables?
Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance.
Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.
He that soweth, soweth the word.
