1And Christ him self often times spake in similitudes, parables, and figures, as when he said aThe field is the world, the enemy is the devil, the seed is the word of God bJohn is Elijahc I am a vine, and you be the branches dI am bread of life eMy father is an husband man, and he hath his fan in his hand, and will make clean his flower, and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will cast into everlasting firef I have a meat to eat, which you know notg Work not meat that perisheth, but that endureth unto everlasting life hI am a good shepherd iThe Son of man will set the sheep at his right hand, and the goats at his left hand kI am a door: one of you is the devil lWhosoever doeth my fathers will, he is my brother, sister and mother.13 And when he said to his mother, and to John,14 This is thy son, this is thy mother.
