40_MAT_13_01 the same day went Jesus out of the house, And sat by the sea side.
40_MAT_13_02 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.
40_MAT_13_03 And he spake Many things unto them in parables, saying, behold, A sower went forth to sow;
40_MAT_13_04 And when he sowed, some [ seeds] fell by the way side, And the fowls came And devoured them up:
40_MAT_13_05 some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: And forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
40_MAT_13_06 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; And because they had no root, they withered away.
40_MAT_13_07 And some fell among thorns; And the thorns sprung up, And choked them:
40_MAT_13_08 but other fell into good ground, And brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
40_MAT_13_09 who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
40_MAT_13_10 And the disciples came, And said unto him, why speakest thou unto them in parables?
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_13_13 therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; And hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
40_MAT_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:
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_13_16 but blessed [ are] your eyes, for they see: And your ears, for they hear.
40_MAT_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].
40_MAT_13_18 hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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;
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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:
40_MAT_13_25 but while men slept, his enemy came And sowed tares among the wheat, And went his way.
40_MAT_13_26 but when the blade was sprung up, And brought forth fruit, Then appeared the tares also.
40_MAT_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?
40_MAT_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?
40_MAT_13_29 but he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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:
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_13_34 all These things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; And without A parable spake he not unto them:
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_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.
40_MAT_13_37 he answered And said unto them, he that soweth the good seed Is the son of man;
40_MAT_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];
40_MAT_13_39 the enemy that sowed them Is the devil; the harvest Is the end of the world; And the reapers are the angels.
40_MAT_13_40 as therefore the tares are gathered And burned in the fire; So shall it be in the end of this world.
40_MAT_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;
40_MAT_13_42 And shall cast them into A furnace of fire: there shall be wailing And gnashing of teeth.
40_MAT_13_43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
40_MAT_13_44 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.
40_MAT_13_45 again, the kingdom of heaven Is like unto A merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
40_MAT_13_46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went And sold all that he had, And bought it.
40_MAT_13_47 again, the kingdom of heaven Is like unto A net, that was cast into the sea, And gathered of every kind:
40_MAT_13_48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore, And sat down, And gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
40_MAT_13_49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, And sever the wicked from among the just,
40_MAT_13_50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing And gnashing of teeth.
40_MAT_13_51 Jesus saith unto them, have ye understood all These things? they say unto him, yea, LORD.
40_MAT_13_52 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.
40_MAT_13_53 And it came to pass, [ that] when Jesus had finished These parables, he departed thence.
40_MAT_13_54 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?
40_MAT_13_55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, And Joses, And Simon, And Judas?
40_MAT_13_56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? whence Then hath this [ man] all These things?
40_MAT_13_57 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.
40_MAT_13_58 And he did not Many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
