马太福音 Matthew 13 : 1 - 9

Parable of the sower

马太福音 Matthew 7:16-19

16 凭着他们的果子，就可以认出他们来。荆棘上岂能摘 葡萄呢？蒺藜里岂能摘无花果呢？ By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from

thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

17 这样，凡好树都结好果子，惟独坏树结坏果子。 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 好树不能结坏果子，坏树不能结好果子。 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.

19 凡不结好果子的树，就砍下来，丢在火里。 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the

fire.
