Mat 13:24 The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:

Notice that the previous analogy and this one compared the kingdom of heaven to sowing seeds. In Christ's use of symbols, seeds (symbols for the spirit, divine inspiration, and "the word") are the physical start for wheat, grapes (for wine) and trees, the basis for bread, wine, and fruit. For Christ, explaining how the world works is a matter of explaining its connections, that is, how one thing leads to another.

Alternative version: The universal rule is the same as a man spreading seed, sowing beautiful seed in his field.

Note: the word for "sowing," speiro, is repeated twice in the verse. Since speiro also means "spreading," we used both senses in our version.

"Likened" is from homoioo, which means "the same," "alike," and "similar."

"Good seed" is from kalos (beautiful) and sperma (seed).

"Field" is from agros, which means "field," "lands," or "country."
