MT-13:1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by
the 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
