Enthronement by God as the First-Born of the Dead

Behold, a Sower Went Out to Sow

And as He Sowed, Some Seed Fell by the Wayside

And the Birds Came and Devoured Them

Some Fell on Stoney Places

Where the Did Not Have Much Earth

Immediately Sprang Up Because They Had No Depth of Earth

But When the Sun Was Up They Were Scorched

And Because They Had No Root They Withered Away

And Some Fell Among Thorns

And the Thorns Sprang Up and Choked Them
