马太福音13:1～16
撒种的比喻
（可4‧1－9；路8‧4－8）
1 当那一天，耶稣从房子里出来，坐在海边。
2 有许多人到他那里聚集，他只得上船坐下，众人都站在岸上。
3 他用比喻对他们讲许多道理，说：「有一个撒种的出去撒种；
4 撒的时候，有落在路旁的，飞鸟来吃尽了；
5 有落在土浅石头地上的，土既不深，发苗最快，
6 日头出来一晒，因为没有根，就枯干了；
7 有落在荆棘里的，荆棘长起来，把它挤住了；
8 又有落在好土里的，就结实，有一百倍的，有六十倍的，有三十倍的。
9 有耳可听的，就应当听！」
用比喻的目的
（可4‧10－12；路8‧9－10）
10 门徒进前来，问耶稣说：「对众人讲话，为什么用比喻呢？」
11 耶稣回答说：「因为天国的奥秘只叫你们知道，不叫他们知道。
12 凡有的，还要加给他，叫他有余；凡没有的，连他所有的，也要夺去。
13 所以我用比喻对他们讲，是因他们看也看不见，听也听不见，也不明白。
14 在他们身上，正应了以赛亚的预言，说：
你们听是要听见，却不明白；
看是要看见，却不晓得；
15 因为这百姓油蒙了心，
耳朵发沉，
眼睛闭着，
恐怕眼睛看见，
耳朵听见，
心里明白，回转过来，
我就医治他们。
16「但你们的眼睛是有福的，因为看见了；你们的耳朵也是有福的，因为听见了。
The Parable of the Sower
1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.
2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.
3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.
6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“ ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

灵修指南
那时，播种是犹太人生活中常见的景象。
当时犹太人耕种的田地里，可能会有石头、荆棘、杂草，虽然在同一块地上撒种，但根据种子洒落的位置不同，其结果也会完全不一样。
耶稣用比喻来传讲神国的教导，因为并不是人人都能明白天国的奥秘。
这个奥秘虽然会传授给门徒明白，但对其他的人则隐藏起来，所以只有内心像好土的人，才有机会知道门徒所领受的神国奥秘。
此外，耶稣说，那些不明白神话语的人，是因为他们的心麻木而无法接受真理，并且将因此变得更加刚硬（15节)。
所以，我们能够成为门徒，必须要感谢神的恩典，因为是主使我们能领悟他话语的奥秘，为此，我们必须努力维持作为好土的心田。
愿我们日日都能明白神话语中的心意，结出丰富的果实。
