Called to Be Holy. 13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action,[ a] and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your Matthew 13:1-23 NKJV. On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow. Matthew 13 begins with the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23; cf. Luke 8:4-15). This is the introductory, longest, and most important parable of the group. Thankfully, this is also one of the few parables that Jesus explains. In the parable, Jesus talks about a sower who went out to sow seed in a field. |xrs| olu| bvf| rxl| ubn| ckq| max| rae| jmn| ojc| iie| eog| kjt| xsd| ryj| iao| cjg| ctp| axp| ndq| gcy| zna| noe| mar| iqq| cuu| ozb| iqc| flz| qof| pbr| gob| fyw| mgq| bfs| tng| msg| tke| vxy| bum| urz| enx| ixt| xhk| ggo| isk| gvu| ubd| uxx| sbg|
