The same
day
went
Jesus
out of
the house
, and sat
by
the sea side
.
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
.
And he spake
many things
unto them
in
parables
, saying
, Behold
, a sower
went forth
to sow
;
And when
he
sowed
, some
seeds fell
by
the way side
, and
the fowls
came
and
devoured
them
up
:
Some fell
upon
stony places
, where
they had
not
much
earth
: and
forthwith
they sprung up
, because
they had
no
deepness
of earth
:
And when the sun
was up
, they were scorched
; and
because
they had
no
root
, they withered away
.
And some
fell
among
thorns
; and
the thorns
sprung up
, and
choked
them
:
But other
fell
into
good
ground
, and
brought forth
fruit
, some
an hundredfold
,
some
sixtyfold
,
some
thirtyfold
.
Who hath
ears
to hear
, let him hear
.
And the disciples
came
, and said
unto him
, Why
speakest thou
unto them
in
parables
?
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
.
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
.
Therefore speak I
to them
in
parables
: because
they seeing
see
not
; and
hearing
they hear
not
, neither
do they understand
.
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
:
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
.
But blessed
are your
eyes
, for
they see
: and
your
ears
, for
they hear
.
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 .
Hear ye
therefore
the parable
of the sower
.
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
.
But he that received the seed
into
stony places
, the same
is
he that heareth
the word
, and
anon
with
joy
receiveth
it
;
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
.
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
.
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
.
Another parable
put he forth
unto them
, saying
, The kingdom
of heaven
is likened
unto a man
which sowed
good
seed
in
his
field
:
But while
men
slept
, his
enemy
came
and
sowed
tares
among
the wheat
, and
went his way
.
But when
the blade
was sprung up
, and
brought forth
fruit
, then
appeared
the tares
also
.
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
?
He said
unto them
, An enemy
hath done
this
.
The servants
said
unto him
, Wilt thou
then
that we go
and gather
them
up
?
But he said
, Nay
; lest
while ye gather up
the tares
, ye root up
also the wheat
with
them
.
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
.
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
:
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
.
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
.
All these things
spake
Jesus
unto the multitude
in
parables
; and
without
a parable
spake he
not
unto them
:
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
.
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
.
He answered and
said
unto them
, He that soweth
the good
seed
is
the Son
of man
;
The field
is
the world
;
the good
seed
are
the children
of the kingdom
; but
the tares
are
the children
of the wicked
one ;
The enemy
that sowed
them
is
the devil
;
the harvest
is
the end
of the world
; and
the reapers
are
the angels
.
As therefore
the tares
are gathered
and
burned
in the fire
; so
shall it be
in
the end
of this
world
.
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
;
And shall cast
them
into
a furnace
of fire
: there
shall be
wailing
and
gnashing
of teeth
.
Then shall the righteous
shine forth
as
the sun
in
the kingdom
of their
Father
. Who
hath
ears
to hear
, let him hear
.
Again, the kingdom
of heaven
is
like
unto treasure
hid
in
a field
; the which
when a man
hath found
, he hideth
, and
for
joy
thereof
goeth
and
selleth
all
that
he hath
, and
buyeth
that
field
.
Again, the kingdom
of heaven
is
like
unto a merchant
man
, seeking
goodly
pearls
:
Who, when he had found
one
pearl
of great price
, went
and sold
all
that
he had
, and
bought
it
.
Again, the kingdom
of heaven
is
like
unto a net
, that was cast
into
the sea
, and
gathered
of
every
kind
:
Which, when
it was full
, they drew
to
shore
, and
sat down
, and gathered
the good
into
vessels
, but
cast
the bad
away
.
So shall it be
at
the end
of the world
: the angels
shall come forth
, and
sever
the wicked
from
among
the just
,
And shall cast
them
into
the furnace
of fire
: there
shall be
wailing
and
gnashing
of teeth
.
Jesus saith
unto them
, Have ye understood
all
these
things
? They say
unto him
, Yea
, Lord
.
Then said
he unto them
, Therefore
every
scribe
which is instructed
unto
the kingdom
of heaven
is
like
unto a man
that is an householder
, which
bringeth forth
out of
his
treasure
things new
and
old
.
And it came to pass
, that when
Jesus
had finished
these
parables
, he departed
thence
.
And when he was come
into
his own
country
, he taught
them
in
their
synagogue
, insomuch that
they
were astonished
, and
said
, Whence
hath this man
this
wisdom
, and
these mighty works
?
Is not
this
the carpenter's
son
? is
not
his
mother
called
Mary
? and
his
brethren
, James
, and
Joses
, and
Simon
, and
Judas
?
And his
sisters
, are they
not
all
with
us
? Whence
then
hath this man
all
these things
?
And they were offended
in
him
. But
Jesus
said
unto them
, A prophet
is
not
without honour
, save
in
his own
country
, and
in
his own
house
.
And he did
not
many
mighty works
there
because
of their
unbelief
.
