1 Enoch 62:8
7 For from the beginning the Son of Man was hidden, And the Most High preserved him in the presence of His might, And revealed him to the elect. 8 And the congregation of the elect and holy shall be sown, And all the elect shall stand before him on that day. 9 And all the kings and the mighty and the exalted and those who rule the earth Shall fall down before him on their faces, And worship and set their hope upon that Son of Man, And petition him and supplicate for mercy at his hands. 10 Nevertheless that Lord of Spirits will so press them That they shall hastily go forth from His presence, And their faces shall be filled with shame, And the darkness grow deeper on their faces.
1 Corinthians 15:42
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars, for star differs from star in glory. 42 It is the same with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Notes and References
"... In verses 11-15 Jesus shifts from the divine initiative represented in the sowing of the seed to the human responses to it represented in the various soils. The transition from seed to hearers' responses is expressed awkwardly in verses 12-13 where "those along the path / rock" refer not to seeds, as we should expect, but to hearers. Some scholars regard this disagreement as evidence of a later interpretation of the church that was projected onto Jesus' This fact alone does not prove that the interpretation in verse 11-15 derives from a later period. Parables, by nature, are similes, i.e., they establish likenesses, and likenesses are rarely exact. Parables do not follow strict rules of logic. Indeed, there are several instances where Jewish tradition speaks of the faithful being "planted" as they are here (Hosea 2:23; Jeremiah 31:27; 1 Enoch 62:8; 2 Esdras 8:41) The apostle Paul also speaks of the sowing of people (1 Corinthians 15:42-48), as does the Shepherd of Hermas (9.20.1; 3.7.3) ..."
