MT-13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat bythe sea side. MT-13:2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. MT-13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; MT-13:4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: MT-13:5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: MT-13:6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. MT-13:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: MT-13:8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. MT-13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. MT-13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? MT-13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. MT-13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. MT-13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. MT-13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: MT-13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. MT-13:16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. MT-13:17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them]. MT-13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. MT-13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. MT-13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; MT-13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. MT-13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. MT-13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. MT-13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: MT-13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. MT-13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. MT-13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? MT-13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? MT-13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. MT-13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. MT-13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: MT-13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. MT-13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. MT-13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: MT-13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. MT-13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. MT-13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; MT-13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; MT-13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. MT-13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. MT-13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; MT-13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. MT-13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of |
