He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. Isaiah 53:2 NIV
Jesus: "Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away." Mark 4:3-8 KJV |
