On{G2250} that{G1565} day{G2250} went{G1831} Jesus{G2424} out of{G575} the house,{G3614} and sat{G2521} by{G3844} the sea side.{G2281}

And{G2532} there were gathered unto{G4314} him{G846} great{G4183} multitudes,{G3793} so that{G5620} he{G846} entered{G1684} into{G1519} a boat,{G4143} and sat;{G2521} and{G2532} all{G3956} the{G3793} multitude{G3793} stood{G2476} on{G1909} the beach.{G123}

And{G2532} he spake{G2980} to them{G846} many things{G4183} in{G1722} parables,{G3850} saying,{G3004} Behold,{G2400} the sower{G4687} went forth{G1831} to sow;{G4687}

and{G2532} as{G1722} he{G846} sowed,{G3303} some{G3739} [seeds] fell{G4098} by{G3844} the way side,{G3598} and{G2532} the birds{G4071} came{G2064} and{G2532} devoured{G2719} them:{G846}

and others{G243} fell{G4098} upon{G1909} the rocky places,{G4075} where{G3699} they had{G2192} not{G3756} much{G4183} earth:{G1093} and{G2532} straightway{G2532} they sprang up,{G1816} because{G1223} they had{G2192} no{G3361} deepness{G899} of earth:{G1093}

and{G1161} when the sun{G2246} was risen,{G393} they were scorched;{G2739} and{G2532} because{G1223} they had{G2192} no{G3361} root,{G4491} they withered away.{G3583}

And{G1161} others{G243} fell{G4098} upon{G1909} the thorns;{G173} and{G2532} the thorns{G173} grew up{G305} and{G2532} choked{G638} them:{G846}

and{G2532} others{G243} fell{G4098} upon{G1909} the good{G2570} ground,{G1093} and{G2532} yielded{G1325} fruit,{G3303} some{G3739} a hundredfold,{G1161} some{G3739} sixty,{G1161} some{G3739} thirty.{G5144}

He that hath{G2192} ears,{G3775} let him hear.{G191}

And{G2532} the disciples{G3101} came,{G4334} and said{G2036} unto him,{G1223} Why{G5101} speakest thou{G2980} unto them{G846} in{G1722} parables?{G3850}

And he answered{G611} and said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Unto you{G5213} it is given{G1325} to know{G1097} the mysteries{G3466} of the kingdom{G932} of heaven,{G3772} but{G1161} to them{G1565} it is{G1325} not{G3756} given.{G1325}

For{G1063} whosoever{G3748} hath,{G2192} to him{G846} shall be given,{G1325} and{G2532} he shall have abundance:{G4052} but{G1161} whosoever{G3748} hath{G2192} not,{G3756} from{G575} him{G846} shall be taken away{G142} even{G2532} that{G3739} which he hath.{G2192}

Therefore{G5124} speak I{G2980} to them{G846} in{G1722} parables;{G3850} because{G3754} seeing{G991} they{G991} see{G991} not,{G3756} and{G2532} hearing{G191} they hear{G191} not,{G3756} neither{G3761} do they understand.{G4920}

And{G2532} unto{G1909} them{G846} is fulfilled{G378} the prophecy{G4394} of Isaiah,{G2268} which saith,{G3004} By hearing{G189} ye shall hear,{G191} and{G2532} shall{G4920} in{G3756} no{G3361} wise understand;{G4920} And{G2532} seeing{G991} ye shall see,{G991} and{G2532} shall{G1492} in no{G3361} wise perceive:{G1492}

For{G1063} this{G5127} people's{G2992} heart{G2588} is waxed gross,{G3975} And{G2532} their ears{G3775} are dull of{G917} hearing,{G191} And{G2532} their{G846} eyes{G3788} they have closed;{G2576} Lest haply{G3379} they should perceive{G1492} with{G3788} their eyes,{G3788} And{G2532} hear{G191} with{G3788} their ears,{G3775} And{G2532} understand{G4920} with{G3775} their heart,{G191} And{G2532} should turn again,{G1994} And{G2532} I should heal{G2390} them.{G846}

But{G1161} blessed{G3107} are your{G5216} eyes,{G3788} for{G3754} they see;{G991} and{G2532} your{G5216} ears,{G3775} for{G3754} they hear.{G191}

For{G1063} verily{G281} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} that{G3754} many{G4183} prophets{G4396} and{G2532} righteous{G1342} men{G1492} desired{G1937} to see{G1492} the things which{G3739} ye see,{G1492} and{G2532} saw{G1492} them not;{G3756} and{G2532} to hear{G191} the things which{G3739} ye hear,{G191} and{G2532} heard{G191} them not.{G3756}

Hear{G191} then{G3767} ye{G5210} the parable{G3850} of the sower.{G4687}

When any one{G3956} heareth{G191} the word{G3056} of the kingdom,{G932} and{G2532} understandeth{G4920} it not,{G3361} [then] cometh{G2064} the evil{G4190} [one], and{G2532} snatcheth away{G726} that which hath been sown{G4687} in{G1722} his{G846} heart.{G2588} This{G3778} is{G2076} he that was sown{G4687} by{G3844} the way side.{G3598}

And{G1161} he that was sown{G4687} upon{G1909} the rocky places,{G4075} this{G3778} is{G2076} he that heareth{G191} the word,{G3056} and{G2532} straightway{G2117} with{G3326} joy{G5479} receiveth{G2983} it;{G846}

yet{G1161} hath he{G2192} not{G3756} root{G4491} in{G1722} himself,{G1438} but{G235} endureth{G2076} for a while;{G4340} and when{G1161} tribulation{G2347} or{G2228} persecution{G1375} ariseth{G1096} because of{G1223} the word,{G3056} straightway{G2117} he stumbleth.{G4624}

And{G1161} he{G4687} that was sown{G4687} among{G1519} the thorns,{G173} this is{G2076} he{G3778} that heareth{G191} the word;{G3056} and{G2532} the care{G3308} of the{G5127} world,{G165} and{G2532} the deceitfulness{G539} of riches,{G4149} choke{G4846} the word,{G3056} and{G2532} he becometh{G1096} unfruitful.{G175}

And{G1161} he that was sown{G4687} upon{G1909} the{G1093} good{G2570} ground,{G1093} this is{G2076} he{G3778} that heareth{G191} the word,{G3056} and{G2532} understandeth{G4920} it; who{G3739} verily{G1211} beareth fruit,{G2592} and{G2532} bringeth forth,{G3303} some{G3739} a hundredfold,{G1161} some{G3739} sixty,{G1161} some{G3739} thirty.{G5144}

Another{G243} parable{G3850} set he before{G3908} them,{G846} saying,{G3004} The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is likened unto{G3666} a man{G444} that sowed{G4687} good{G2570} seed{G4690} in{G1722} his{G846} field:{G68}

but{G1161} while{G1722} men{G444} slept,{G2518} his{G846} enemy{G2190} came{G2064} and{G2532} sowed{G4687} tares{G2215} also{G303} among{G3319} the wheat,{G4621} and{G2532} went away.{G565}

But{G1161} when{G3753} the blade{G5528} sprang up{G985} and{G2532} brought forth{G4160} fruit,{G2590} then{G5119} appeared{G5316} the tares{G2215} also.{G2532}

And{G1161} the servants{G1401} of the householder{G3617} came{G4334} and said{G2036} unto him,{G846} Sir,{G2962} didst{G4687} thou not{G3780} sow{G4687} good{G2570} seed{G4690} in{G1722} thy{G4674} field?{G68} whence{G4159} then{G3767} hath it{G2192} tares?{G2215}

And he said{G5346} unto them,{G846} An enemy{G2190} hath{G444} done{G4160} this.{G1161} And the servants{G1401} say{G2036} unto him,{G846} Wilt thou{G2309} then{G3767} that we go{G565} and gather{G4816} them{G846} up?{G4816}

But{G1161} he saith,{G5346} Nay;{G3756} lest{G3379} haply while ye gather up{G4816} the tares,{G2215} ye root up the{G1610} wheat{G4621} with{G260} them.{G846}

Let{G863} both{G297} grow together{G4885} until{G3360} the harvest:{G2326} and{G2532} in{G1722} the time{G2540} of the harvest{G2326} I will say{G2046} to the reapers,{G2327} Gather up{G4816} first{G4412} the tares,{G2215} and{G2532} bind{G1210} them{G846} in{G1519} bundles{G1197} to{G4314} burn{G2618} them;{G846} but{G1161} gather{G4863} the wheat{G4621} into{G1519} my{G3450} barn.{G596}

Another{G243} parable{G3850} set he before{G3908} them,{G846} saying,{G3004} The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076} like unto{G3664} a grain{G2848} of mustard seed,{G4615} which{G3739} a man{G444} took,{G2983} and sowed{G4687} in{G1722} his{G846} field:{G68}

which{G3739} indeed{G3303} is{G2076} less{G3398} than all{G3956} seeds;{G4690} but{G1161} when{G3752} it is grown,{G837} it is{G2076} greater{G3173} than the herbs,{G3001} and{G2532} becometh{G1096} a tree,{G1186} so that{G5620} the birds{G4071} of the heaven{G3772} come{G2064} and{G2532} lodge{G2681} in{G1722} the branches{G2798} thereof.{G846}

Another{G243} parable{G3850} spake he{G2980} unto them;{G846} The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076} like unto{G3664} leaven,{G2219} which{G3739} a woman{G1135} took,{G2983} and hid{G1470} in{G1519} three{G5140} measures{G4568} of meal,{G224} till{G2193} it{G3739} was all{G3650} leavened.{G2220}

All{G3956} these things{G5023} spake{G2980} Jesus{G2424} in{G1722} parables{G3850} unto the multitudes;{G3793} and{G2532} without{G5565} a parable{G3850} spake he{G2980} nothing{G3756} unto them:{G846}

that{G3704} it might be fulfilled{G4137} which was spoken{G4483} through{G1223} the prophet,{G4396} saying,{G3004} I will open{G455} my{G3450} mouth{G4750} in{G1722} parables;{G3850} I will utter{G2044} things hidden{G2928} from{G575} the foundation{G2602} of the world.{G2889}

[Then]{G5119} [he]{G2424} [left]{G863} [the]{G863} [multitudes,]{G3793} [and went]{G2064} [into]{G1519} [the house:]{G3614} [and]{G2532} [his]{G846} [disciples]{G3101} [came]{G4334} [unto him,]{G846} [saying,]{G3004} [Explain]{G5419} [unto us]{G2254} [the parable]{G3850} [of the tares]{G2215} [of the field.]{G68}

[And he answered]{G611} [and said,]{G2036} [He that soweth]{G4687} [the good]{G2570} [seed]{G4690} [is]{G2076} [the Son]{G5207} [of man;]{G444}

[and the field]{G68} [is]{G2076} [the world;]{G1161} [and the good]{G2570} [seed,]{G4690} [these]{G3778} [are]{G1526} [the sons]{G5207} [of the kingdom;]{G932} [and the tares]{G2215} [are]{G1526} [the sons]{G5207} [of the evil]{G4190} [one];

and the enemy{G2190} that sowed{G4687} them{G846} is{G2076} the devil:{G1161} and the harvest{G2326} is{G2076} the end{G4930} of the world;{G165} and{G1161} the reapers{G2327} are{G1526} angels.{G32}

As{G5618} therefore{G3767} the tares{G2215} are gathered{G4816} up and{G2532} burned{G2618} with fire;{G4442} so{G3779} shall it be{G2071} in{G1722} the end{G4930} of the{G5127} world.{G165}

The Son{G5207} of man{G444} shall send forth{G649} his{G846} angels,{G32} and{G2532} they shall gather{G4816} out of{G1537} his{G846} kingdom{G932} all{G3956} things that cause stumbling,{G4625} and{G2532} them that do{G4160} iniquity,{G458}

and{G2532} shall cast{G906} them{G846} into{G1519} the furnace{G2575} of fire:{G4442} there{G1563} shall be{G2071} the weeping{G2805} and{G2532} the gnashing{G1030} of teeth.{G3599}

Then{G5119} shall{G1584} the righteous{G1342} shine forth{G1584} as{G5613} the sun{G2246} in{G1722} the kingdom{G932} of{G3962} their{G846} Father.{G3962} He that hath{G2192} ears,{G3775} let him hear.{G191}

The{G3825} kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076} like unto{G3664} a treasure{G2344} hidden{G2928} in{G1722} the field;{G68} which{G3739} a man{G444} found,{G2147} and hid;{G2928} and{G2532} in{G846} his{G575} joy{G5479} he goeth{G5217} and{G2532} selleth{G4453} all{G3956} that{G3745} he hath,{G2192} and{G2532} buyeth{G59} that{G3745} field.{G68}

Again,{G3825} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076} like unto{G3664} a man{G444} that is a merchant{G1713} seeking{G2212} goodly{G2570} pearls:{G3135}

and{G3739} having found{G2147} one{G1520} pearl{G3135} of great price,{G4186} he went{G565} and sold{G4097} all{G3956} that{G3745} he had,{G2192} and{G2532} bought{G59} it.{G846}

Again,{G3825} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076} like unto{G3664} a net,{G4522} that was cast{G906} into{G1519} the sea,{G2281} and{G2532} gathered{G4863} of{G1537} every{G3956} kind:{G1085}

which,{G3739} when{G3753} it was filled,{G4137} they drew{G307} up on{G1909} the beach;{G123} and{G2532} they sat down,{G2523} and gathered{G4816} the good{G2570} into{G1519} vessels,{G30} but{G1161} the bad{G4550} they cast{G906} away.{G1854}

So{G3779} shall it be{G2071} in{G1722} the end{G4930} of the world:{G165} the angels{G32} shall come forth,{G1831} and{G2532} sever{G873} the wicked{G4190} from{G1537} among{G3319} the righteous,{G1342}

and{G2532} shall cast{G906} them{G846} into{G1519} the furnace{G2575} of fire:{G4442} there{G1563} shall be{G2071} the weeping{G2805} and{G2532} the gnashing{G1030} of teeth.{G3599}

Have ye understood{G4920} all{G3956} these things?{G5023} They say{G3004} unto him,{G846} Yea.{G3483}

And{G1161} he{G2036} said unto them,{G1223} Therefore{G5124} every{G3956} scribe{G1122} who hath been made a disciple{G3100} to the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076} like unto{G3664} a man{G444} that is a householder,{G3617} who{G3748} bringeth forth{G1544} out of{G1537} his{G846} treasure{G2344} things new{G2537} and{G2532} old.{G3820}

And{G2532} it came to pass,{G1096} when{G3753} Jesus{G2424} had finished{G5055} these{G3778} parables,{G3850} he departed{G3332} thence.{G1564}

And{G2532} coming{G2064} into{G1519} his own{G846} country{G3968} he taught{G1321} them{G846} in{G1722} their{G846} synagogue,{G4864} insomuch that{G5620} they{G846} were astonished,{G1605} and{G2532} said,{G3004} Whence{G4159} hath this{G5129} man this{G5129} wisdom,{G4678} and{G2532} these mighty works?{G1411}

Is{G2076} not{G3756} this{G3778} the{G5207} carpenter's{G5045} son?{G5207} is{G3004} not{G3780} his{G846} mother{G3384} called{G3004} Mary?{G3137} and{G2532} his{G846} brethren,{G80} James,{G2385} and{G2532} Joseph,{G2500} and{G2532} Simon,{G4613} and{G2532} Judas?{G2455}

And{G2532} his{G846} sisters,{G79} are they{G1526} not{G3780} all{G3956} with{G4314} us?{G2248} Whence{G4159} then{G3767} hath this{G5129} man all{G3956} these things?{G5023}

And{G2532} they were offended{G4624} in{G1722} him.{G846} But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036} unto them,{G846} A prophet{G4396} is{G2076} not{G3756} without honor,{G1487} save{G3361} in{G1722} his own{G846} country,{G3968} and{G2532} in{G1722} his own{G846} house.{G3614}

And{G2532} he did{G4160} not{G3756} many{G4183} mighty works{G1411} there{G1563} because of{G1223} their{G846} unbelief.{G570}
