1
The same[G1722]day[G2250]went[G1831]Jesus[G2424] out of[G575] the house[G3614], and sat[G2521]by[G3844] the sea side[G2281].
2And[G2532]great[G4183]multitudes[G3793] were gathered together[G4863]unto[G4314]him[G846], so that[G5620]he[G846]went[G1684]into[G1519] a ship[G4143], and[G2532]sat[G2521]; and[G2532] the whole[G3956]multitude[G3793]stood[G2476]on[G1909] the shore[G123].
3And[G2532] he spake[G2980] many things[G4183] unto them[G846]in[G1722]parables[G3850], saying[G3004], Behold[G2400], a sower[G4687] went forth[G1831] to sow[G4687];
4And[G2532]when[G1722]he[G846]sowed[G4687], some[G3739] seeds fell[G4098]by[G3844] the way side[G3598], and[G2532] the fowls[G4071]came[G2064]and[G2532]devoured[G2719]them[G846]up[G2719]:
5Some[G1161]fell[G4098]upon[G1909] stony places[G4075], where[G3699] they had[G2192]not[G3756]much[G4183]earth[G1093]: and[G2532]forthwith[G2112] they sprung up[G1816], because[G1223] they had[G2192]no[G3361]deepness[G899] of earth[G1093]:
6And[G1161] when the sun[G2246] was up[G393], they were scorched[G2739]; and[G2532]because[G1223] they had[G2192]no[G3361]root[G4491], they withered away[G3583].
7And[G1161]some[G243]fell[G4098]among[G1909]thorns[G173]; and[G2532] the thorns[G173] sprung up[G305], and[G2532]choked[G638]them[G846]:
8But[G1161]other[G243]fell[G4098]into[G1909]good[G2570]ground[G1093], and[G2532] brought forth[G1325]fruit[G2590], some[G3739] an hundredfold[G1540], some[G3303]sixtyfold[G1835], some[G3303]thirtyfold[G5144].
9Who[G3588]hath[G2192]ears[G3775] to hear[G191], let him hear[G191].
11
He answered[G611]and[G1161]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Because[G3754] it is[G1325]given[G1325] unto you[G5213] 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].
12For[G1063]whosoever[G3748]hath[G2192], to him[G846] shall be given[G1325], and[G2532] he shall have more abundance[G4052]: but[G1161]whosoever[G3748]hath[G2192]not[G3756], from[G575]him[G846] shall be taken away[G142]even[G2532]that[G3739] he hath[G2192].
13Therefore[G1223] speak I[G2980] to them[G846]in[G1722]parables[G3850]: because[G3754] they seeing[G991]see[G991]not[G3756]; and[G2532]hearing[G191] they hear[G191]not[G3756], neither[G3761] do they understand[G4920].
14And[G2532]in[G1909]them[G846] is fulfilled[G378] the prophecy[G4394] of Esaias[G2268], which[G3588]saith[G3004], By hearing[G189] ye shall[G4920]hear[G191], and[G2532]shall[G1492]not[G3364]understand[G4920]; and[G2532]seeing[G991] ye shall[G1492]see[G991], and[G2532]shall[G1492]not[G3364]perceive[G1492]:
15For[G1063]this[G5127] people's heart[G2588] is waxed gross[G3975], and[G2532]their[G846]ears[G3775] are dull[G917] of hearing[G191], and[G2532]their[G846]eyes[G3788] they have closed[G2576]; lest at any time[G3379] they should see[G1492] with their[G846]eyes[G3788], and[G2532]hear[G191] with their[G846]ears[G3775], and[G2532] should understand[G4920] with their[G846]heart[G2588], and[G2532] should be converted[G1994], and[G2532] I should heal[G2390]them[G846].
16But[G1161]blessed[G3107] are your[G5216]eyes[G3788], for[G3754] they see[G991]: and[G2532]your[G5216]ears[G3775], for[G3754] they hear[G191].
17For[G1063]verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], That[G3754]many[G4183]prophets[G4396]and[G2532]righteous[G1342] men have[G1492]desired[G1937] to see[G1492] those things which[G3739] ye see[G991], and[G2532]have[G191]not[G3756]seen[G1492] them; and[G2532] to hear[G191] those things which[G3739] ye hear[G191], and[G2532]have[G191]not[G3756]heard[G191] them.
18Hear[G191]ye[G5210]therefore[G3767] the parable[G3850] of the sower[G4687].
19
When any[G3956] one heareth[G191] the word[G3056] of the kingdom[G932], and[G2532]understandeth[G4920] it not[G3361], then cometh[G2064] the wicked[G4190] one, and[G2532] catcheth away[G726] that which[G3588] was sown[G4687]in[G1722]his[G846]heart[G2588]. This[G3778]is[G2076] he which[G3588] received seed[G4687]by[G3844] the way side[G3598].
20But[G1161] he that received the seed[G4687]into[G1909] stony places[G4075], the same[G3778]is[G2076] he that heareth[G191] the word[G3056], and[G2532]anon[G2117]with[G3326]joy[G5479]receiveth[G2983]it[G846];
21Yet[G1161] hath he[G2192]not[G3756]root[G4491]in[G1722]himself[G1438], but[G235]dureth[G2076]for[G1161] a while[G4340]: for[G1161] when tribulation[G2347]or[G2228]persecution[G1375]ariseth[G1096]because[G1223] of the word[G3056], by[G2117] and by[G2117]he[G2192] is offended[G4624].
22
He also[G1161]that[G3778] received seed[G4687]among[G1519] the thorns[G173]is[G2076] he that[G3778]heareth[G191] the word[G3056]; and[G2532] the care[G3308] of this[G5127]world[G165], and[G2532] the deceitfulness[G539] of riches[G4149], choke[G4846] the word[G3056], and[G2532] he becometh[G1096]unfruitful[G175].
23But[G1161]he[G3778] that received seed[G4687]into[G1909] the good[G2570]ground[G1093]is[G2076]he[G3778] that heareth[G191] the word[G3056], and[G2532]understandeth[G4920] it; which[G3739]also[G1211] beareth fruit[G2592], and[G2532] bringeth forth[G4160], some[G3739] an hundredfold[G1540], some[G3303]sixty[G1835], some[G3303]thirty[G5144].
24Another[G243]parable[G3850] put he forth[G3908] unto them[G846], saying[G3004], The kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772] is likened[G3666] unto a man[G444] which sowed[G4687]good[G2570]seed[G4690]in[G1722]his[G846]field[G68]:
25But[G1161]while[G1722]men[G444]slept[G2518], his[G846]enemy[G2190]came[G2064]and[G2532]sowed[G4687]tares[G2215]among[G303] the wheat[G4621], and[G2532] went his[G846]way[G565].
26But[G1161]when[G3753] the blade[G5528] was sprung up[G985], and[G2532] brought forth[G4160]fruit[G2590], then[G5119]appeared[G5316] the tares[G2215]also[G2532].
27So[G1161] the servants[G1401] of the householder[G3617]came[G4334] and said[G2036] unto him[G846], Sir[G2962], didst[G4687]not[G3780] thou sow[G4687]good[G2570]seed[G4690]in[G1722]thy[G4674]field?[G68] from whence[G4159]then[G3767] hath it[G2192]tares?[G2215]
28
He said[G5346] unto them[G846], An enemy[G2190] hath done[G4160]this[G5124]. The servants[G1401]said[G2036] unto him[G846], Wilt thou[G2309]then[G3767] that we go[G565] and gather[G4816]them[G846]up?[G4816]
29But[G1161] he said[G5346], Nay[G3756]; lest[G3379] while ye gather up[G4816] the tares[G2215], ye root up[G1610] also the wheat[G4621]with[G260]them[G846].
30Let[G863]both[G297] grow together[G4885]until[G3360] the harvest[G2326]: and[G2532]in[G1722] the time[G2540] of harvest[G2326] I will say[G2046]to[G4314] the reapers[G2327], Gather[G4863] ye together[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].
31Another[G243]parable[G3850] put he forth[G3908] unto them[G846], saying[G3004], The kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772]is[G2076]like[G3664] to a grain[G2848] of mustard seed[G4615], which[G3739] a man[G444]took[G2983], and sowed[G4687]in[G1722]his[G846]field[G68]:
32Which[G3739]indeed[G3303]is[G2076] the least[G3398] of all[G3956]seeds[G4690]: but[G1161]when[G3752] it is[G2076]grown[G837], it is[G2076] the greatest[G3187] among herbs[G3001], and[G2532]becometh[G1096] a tree[G1186], so that[G5620] the birds[G4071] of the air[G3772]come[G2064]and[G2532]lodge[G2681]in[G1722] the branches[G2798]thereof[G846].
33Another[G243]parable[G3850] spake he[G2980] unto them[G846]; The kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772]is[G2076]like[G3664] unto leaven[G2219], which[G3739] a woman[G1135]took[G2983], and hid[G1470]in[G1519]three[G5140]measures[G4568] of meal[G224], till[G2193] the whole[G3650]was[G3739]leavened[G2220].
34All[G3956] these things[G5023]spake[G2980]Jesus[G2424] unto the multitude[G3793]in[G1722]parables[G3850]; and[G2532]without[G5565] a parable[G3850]spake[G2980]he[G2980]not[G3756] unto them[G846]:
35That[G3704] it might be fulfilled[G4137]which[G3588] was spoken[G4483]by[G1223] the prophet[G4396], saying[G3004], I will open[G455]my[G3450]mouth[G4750]in[G1722]parables[G3850]; I will utter[G2044] things which[G3588] have been kept secret[G2928]from[G575] the foundation[G2602] of the world[G2889].
36Then[G5119]Jesus[G2424]sent[G863] the multitude[G3793]away[G863], and[G2532]went[G2064]into[G1519] the house[G3614]: and[G2532]his[G846]disciples[G3101]came[G4334] unto him[G846], saying[G3004], Declare[G5419] unto us[G2254] the parable[G3850] of the tares[G2215] of the field[G68].
37
He answered[G611]and[G1161]said[G2036] unto them[G846], He that soweth[G4687] the good[G2570]seed[G4690]is[G2076] the Son[G5207] of man[G444];
38
The field[G68]is[G2076] the world[G2889]; the good[G2570]seed[G4690]are[G3778] the children[G5207] of the kingdom[G932]; but[G1161] the tares[G2215]are[G1526] the children[G5207] of the wicked[G4190] one;
39
The enemy[G2190] that sowed[G4687]them[G846]is[G2076] the devil[G1228]; the harvest[G2326]is[G2076] the end[G4930] of the world[G165]; and[G1161] the reapers[G2327]are[G1526] the angels[G32].
40As[G5618]therefore[G3767] the tares[G2215] are gathered[G4816]and[G2532]burned[G2618]in[G1722] the fire[G4442]; so[G3779] shall it be[G2071]in[G1722] the end[G4930] of this[G5127]world[G165].
41
The Son[G5207]of[G1537]man[G444] shall send forth[G649]his[G846]angels[G32], and[G2532] they shall gather[G4816] out of[G1537]his[G846]kingdom[G932] all things[G3956] that offend[G4625], and[G2532] them which do[G4160]iniquity[G458];
42And[G2532] shall cast[G906]them[G846]into[G1519] a furnace[G2575] of fire[G4442]: there[G1563] shall be[G2071]wailing[G2805]and[G2532]gnashing[G1030] of teeth[G3599].
43Then[G5119] shall the righteous[G1342] shine forth[G1584]as[G5613] the sun[G2246]in[G1722] the kingdom[G932] of their[G846]Father[G3962]. Who[G3588]hath[G2192]ears[G3775] to hear[G191], let him hear[G191].
44Again[G3825], the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772]is[G2076]like[G3664] unto treasure[G2344]hid[G2928]in[G1722] a field[G68]; the which[G3739] when a man[G444]hath[G2192]found[G2147], he hideth[G2928], and[G2532]for[G575]joy[G5479]thereof[G846]goeth[G5217]and[G2532]selleth[G4453]all[G3956]that[G3745] he hath[G2192], and[G2532]buyeth[G59]that[G1565]field[G68].
45Again[G3825], the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772]is[G2076]like[G3664] unto a merchant[G1713]man[G444], seeking[G2212]goodly[G2570]pearls[G3135]:
46Who[G3739], when he had[G2192]found[G2147]one[G1520]pearl[G3135] of great price[G4186], went[G565]and[G2532]sold[G4097]all[G3956]that[G3745] he had[G2192], and[G2532]bought[G59]it[G846].
47Again[G3825], the kingdom[G932]of[G1537]heaven[G3772]is[G2076]like[G3664] unto a net[G4522], that was cast[G906]into[G1519] the sea[G2281], and[G2532]gathered[G4863]of[G1537]every[G3956]kind[G1085]:
48Which[G3739], when[G3753] it was full[G4137], they drew[G307]to[G1909]shore[G123], and[G2532] sat down[G2523], and[G2532]gathered[G4816] the good[G2570]into[G1519]vessels[G30], but[G1161]cast[G906] the bad[G4550]away[G1854].
49So[G3779] shall it be[G2071]at[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 just[G1342],
50And[G2532] shall cast[G906]them[G846]into[G1519] the furnace[G2575] of fire[G4442]: there[G1563] shall be[G2071]wailing[G2805]and[G2532]gnashing[G1030] of teeth[G3599].
51Jesus[G2424]saith[G3004] unto them[G846], Have ye understood[G4920]all[G3956]these[G5023]things?[G3956] They say[G3004] unto him[G846], Yea[G3483], Lord[G2962].
52Then[G1161]said[G2036] he unto[G1519]them[G846], Therefore[G1223]every[G3956]scribe[G1122]which[G3748]is[G2076]instructed[G3100]unto[G1519] the kingdom[G932]of[G1537]heaven[G3772]is[G2076]like[G3664]unto[G1519] a man[G444] that is[G2076] an householder[G3617], which[G3748] bringeth forth[G1544] out of[G1537]his[G846]treasure[G2344] things new[G2537]and[G2532]old[G3820].
53And[G2532] it came to pass[G1096], that when[G3753]Jesus[G2424] had finished[G5055]these[G5025]parables[G3850], he departed[G3332]thence[G1564].
54And[G2532] when he was come[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[G3778]man[G5129]this[G3778]wisdom[G4678], and[G2532] these mighty works?[G1411]
55Is[G2076]not[G3756]this[G3778] the carpenter's son?[G5207]is[G3004]not[G3780]his[G846]mother[G3384]called[G3004]Mary?[G3137]and[G2532]his[G846]brethren[G80], James[G2385], and[G2532]Joses[G2500], and[G2532]Simon[G4613], and[G2532]Judas?[G2455]
56And[G2532]his[G846]sisters[G79], are they[G1526]not[G3780]all[G3956]with[G4314]us?[G2248]Whence[G4159]then[G3767] hath this man[G5129]all[G3956] these things?[G5023]
57And[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 honour[G820], save[G1508]in[G1722] his own[G846]country[G3968], and[G2532]in[G1722] his own[G846]house[G3614].
58And[G2532] he did[G4160]not[G3756]many[G4183] mighty works[G1411]there[G1563]because[G1223] of their[G846]unbelief[G570].
