It is frequently used metaphorically to illustrate spiritual truths, such as faith, the kingdom of God, and the principle of life through death.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of ancient Israel and the broader Greco-Roman world, seeds were a common and powerful symbol of potential and growth. The imagery of a seed was well understood by Jesus' audience, who were familiar with the processes of planting, growth, and harvest. Seeds were essential for sustenance and survival, making them a fitting metaphor for spiritual truths.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a grain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grain (2), seed (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2848: κόκκος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κόκκος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κοκκου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, Fremdwörter etc., p. 26), <span class="accented">a grain</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-31.htm">Matthew 13:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/17-20.htm">Matthew 17:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-31.htm">Mark 4:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/13-19.htm">Luke 13:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-6.htm">Luke 17:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/12-24.htm">John 12:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/15-37.htm">1 Corinthians 15:37</a>.
