G4687–σπείρω–speirō

σπείρειν speirein “sowing”

Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

σπείραντος· speirantos “having sown:”

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, [supplied: then] cometh the evil [supplied: one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

ἔσπειρεν espeiren “sowed”

σπείρας speiras “having sown”

And he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter;

Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow:
