{G1161} The same{G1722}{G1565} day{G2250} went{G1831}{(G5631)} Jesus{G2424} out of{G575} the house{G3614}, and sat{G2521}{(G5711)} by{G3844} the sea side{G2281}.

And{G2532} great{G4183} multitudes{G3793} were gathered together{G4863}{(G5681)} unto{G4314} him{G846}, so that{G5620} he{G846} went{G1684}{(G5631)} into{G1519} a ship{G4143}, and sat{G2521}{(G5738)}; and{G2532} the whole{G3956} multitude{G3793} stood{G2476}{(G5715)} on{G1909} the shore{G123}.

And{G2532} he spake{G2980}{(G5656)} many things{G4183} unto them{G846} in{G1722} parables{G3850}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, a sower{G4687}{(G5723)} went forth{G1831}{(G5627)} to sow{G4687}{(G5721)};

And{G2532} when{G1722} he{G846} sowed{G4687}{(G5721)}, some{G3739}{G3303} seeds fell{G4098}{(G5627)} by{G3844} the way side{G3598}, and{G2532} the fowls{G4071} came{G2064}{(G5627)} and{G2532} devoured{G2719} them{G846} up{G2719}{(G5627)}:

Some{G1161}{G243} fell{G4098}{(G5627)} upon{G1909} stony places{G4075}, where{G3699} they had{G2192}{(G5707)} not{G3756} much{G4183} earth{G1093}: and{G2532} forthwith{G2112} they sprung up{G1816}{(G5656)}, because{G1223} they had{G2192}{(G5721)} no{G3361} deepness{G899} of earth{G1093}:

And{G1161} when the sun{G2246} was up{G393}{(G5660)}, they were scorched{G2739}{(G5681)}; and{G2532} because{G1223} they had{G2192}{(G5721)} no{G3361} root{G4491}, they withered away{G3583}{(G5681)}.

And{G1161} some{G243} fell{G4098}{(G5627)} among{G1909} thorns{G173}; and{G2532} the thorns{G173} sprung up{G305}{(G5627)}, and{G2532} choked{G638}{(G5656)} them{G846}:

But{G1161} other{G243} fell{G4098}{(G5627)} into{G1909} good{G2570} ground{G1093}, and{G2532} brought forth{G1325}{(G5707)} fruit{G2590}, some{G3739}{G3303} an hundredfold{G1540},{G1161} some{G3739} sixtyfold{G1835},{G1161} some{G3739} thirtyfold{G5144}.

Who{G3588} hath{G2192}{(G5723)} ears{G3775} to hear{G191}{(G5721)}, let him hear{G191}{(G5720)}.

And{G2532} the disciples{G3101} came{G4334}{(G5631)}, and said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto him{G846}, Why{G1302} speakest thou{G2980}{(G5719)} unto them{G846} in{G1722} parables{G3850}?

He answered{G611}{(G5679)} and{G1161} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, Because{G3754} it is given{G1325}{(G5769)} unto you{G5213} to know{G1097}{(G5629)} the mysteries{G3466} of the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772}, but{G1161} to them{G1565} it is{G1325} not{G3756} given{G1325}{(G5769)}.

For{G1063} whosoever{G3748} hath{G2192}{(G5719)}, to him{G846} shall be given{G1325}{(G5701)}, and{G2532} he shall have more abundance{G4052}{(G5701)}: but{G1161} whosoever{G3748} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, from{G575} him{G846} shall be taken away{G142}{(G5701)} even{G2532} that{G3739} he hath{G2192}{(G5719)}.

Therefore{G1223}{G5124} speak I{G2980}{(G5719)} to them{G846} in{G1722} parables{G3850}: because{G3754} they seeing{G991}{(G5723)} see{G991}{(G5719)} not{G3756}; and{G2532} hearing{G191}{(G5723)} they hear{G191}{(G5719)} not{G3756}, neither{G3761} do they understand{G4920}{(G5719)}.

And{G2532} in{G1909} them{G846} is fulfilled{G378}{(G5743)} the prophecy{G4394} of Esaias{G2268}, which{G3588} saith{G3004}{(G5723)}, By hearing{G189} ye shall hear{G191}{(G5692)}, and{G2532} shall{G4920} not{G3364} understand{G4920}{(G5655)}; and{G2532} seeing{G991}{(G5723)} ye shall see{G991}{(G5692)}, and{G2532} shall{G1492} not{G3364} perceive{G1492}{(G5632)}:

For{G1063} this{G5127} people's{G2992} heart{G2588} is waxed gross{G3975}{(G5681)}, and{G2532} their ears{G3775} are dull{G917} of hearing{G191}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} their{G846} eyes{G3788} they have closed{G2576}{(G5656)}; lest at any time{G3379} they should see{G1492}{(G5632)} with their eyes{G3788}, and{G2532} hear{G191}{(G5661)} with their ears{G3775}, and{G2532} should understand{G4920}{(G5632)} with their heart{G2588}, and{G2532} should be converted{G1994}{(G5661)}, and{G2532} I should heal{G2390}{(G5667)} them{G846}.

But{G1161} blessed{G3107} are your{G5216} eyes{G3788}, for{G3754} they see{G991}{(G5719)}: and{G2532} your{G5216} ears{G3775}, for{G3754} they hear{G191}{(G5719)}.

For{G1063} verily{G281} I say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto you{G5213}, That{G3754} many{G4183} prophets{G4396} and{G2532} righteous{G1342} men have desired{G1937}{(G5656)} to see{G1492}{(G5629)} those things which{G3739} ye see{G991}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} have{G1492} not{G3756} seen{G1492}{(G5627)} them; and{G2532} to hear{G191}{(G5658)} those things which{G3739} ye hear{G191}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} have{G191} not{G3756} heard{G191}{(G5656)} them.

Hear{G191}{(G5657)} ye{G5210} therefore{G3767} the parable{G3850} of the sower{G4687}{(G5723)}.

When any{G3956} one heareth{G191}{(G5723)} the word{G3056} of the kingdom{G932}, and{G2532} understandeth{G4920}{(G5723)} it not{G3361}, then cometh{G2064}{(G5736)} the wicked{G4190} one, and{G2532} catcheth away{G726}{(G5719)} that which{G3588} was sown{G4687}{(G5772)} in{G1722} his{G846} heart{G2588}. This{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} he which received seed{G4687}{(G5651)} by{G3844} the way side{G3598}.

But{G1161} he that received the seed{G4687}{(G5651)} into{G1909} stony places{G4075}, the same{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} he that heareth{G191}{(G5723)} the word{G3056}, and{G2532} anon{G2117} with{G3326} joy{G5479} receiveth{G2983}{(G5723)} it{G846};

Yet{G1161} hath he{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3756} root{G4491} in{G1722} himself{G1438}, but{G235} dureth{G2076}{(G5748)} for a while{G4340}: for{G1161} when tribulation{G2347} or{G2228} persecution{G1375} ariseth{G1096}{(G5637)} because{G1223} of the word{G3056}, by and by{G2117} he is offended{G4624}{(G5743)}.

He also{G1161} that received seed{G4687}{(G5651)} among{G1519} the thorns{G173} is{G2076}{(G5748)} he that{G3778} heareth{G191}{(G5723)} the word{G3056}; and{G2532} the care{G3308} of this{G5127} world{G165}, and{G2532} the deceitfulness{G539} of riches{G4149}, choke{G4846}{(G5719)} the word{G3056}, and{G2532} he becometh{G1096}{(G5736)} unfruitful{G175}.

But{G1161} he that received seed{G4687}{(G5651)} into{G1909} the good{G2570} ground{G1093} is{G2076}{(G5748)} he{G3778} that heareth{G191}{(G5723)} the word{G3056}, and{G2532} understandeth{G4920}{(G5723)} it; which{G3739} also{G1211} beareth fruit{G2592}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} bringeth forth{G4160}{(G5719)}, some{G3739}{G3303} an hundredfold{G1540},{G1161} some{G3739} sixty{G1835},{G1161} some{G3739} thirty{G5144}.

Another{G243} parable{G3850} put he forth{G3908}{(G5656)} unto them{G846}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is likened{G3666}{(G5681)} unto a man{G444} which sowed{G4687}{(G5723)}{(G5625)}{G4687}{(G5660)} good{G2570} seed{G4690} in{G1722} his{G846} field{G68}:

But{G1161} while{G1722} men{G444} slept{G2518}{(G5721)}, his{G846} enemy{G2190} came{G2064}{(G5627)} and{G2532} sowed{G4687}{(G5656)} tares{G2215} among{G303}{G3319} the wheat{G4621}, and{G2532} went his way{G565}{(G5627)}.

But{G1161} when{G3753} the blade{G5528} was sprung up{G985}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} brought forth{G4160}{(G5656)} fruit{G2590}, then{G5119} appeared{G5316}{(G5648)} the tares{G2215} also{G2532}.

So{G1161} the servants{G1401} of the householder{G3617} came{G4334}{(G5631)} and said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto him{G846}, Sir{G2962}, didst{G4687} not{G3780} thou sow{G4687}{(G5656)} good{G2570} seed{G4690} in{G1722} thy{G4674} field{G68}? from whence{G4159} then{G3767} hath it{G2192}{(G5719)} tares{G2215}?

{G1161} He said{G5346}{(G5713)} unto them{G846}, An enemy{G2190}{G444} hath done{G4160}{(G5656)} this{G5124}.{G1161} The servants{G1401} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto him{G846}, Wilt thou{G2309}{(G5719)} then{G3767} that we go{G565}{(G5631)} and gather{G4816} them{G846} up{G4816}{(G5661)}?

But{G1161} he said{G5346}{(G5713)}, Nay{G3756}; lest{G3379} while ye gather up{G4816}{(G5723)} the tares{G2215}, ye root up{G1610}{(G5661)} also the wheat{G4621} with{G260} them{G846}.

Let{G863}{(G5628)} both{G297} grow together{G4885}{(G5745)} until{G3360} the harvest{G2326}: and{G2532} in{G1722} the time{G2540} of harvest{G2326} I will say{G2046}{(G5692)} to the reapers{G2327}, Gather ye together{G4816}{(G5657)} first{G4412} the tares{G2215}, and{G2532} bind{G1210}{(G5657)} them{G846} in{G1519} bundles{G1197} to{G4314} burn{G2618}{(G5658)} them{G846}: but{G1161} gather{G4863}{(G5628)} the wheat{G4621} into{G1519} my{G3450} barn{G596}.

Another{G243} parable{G3850} put he forth{G3908}{(G5656)} unto them{G846}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076}{(G5748)} like{G3664} to a grain{G2848} of mustard seed{G4615}, which{G3739} a man{G444} took{G2983}{(G5631)}, and sowed{G4687}{(G5656)} in{G1722} his{G846} field{G68}:

Which{G3739} indeed{G3303} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the least{G3398} of all{G3956} seeds{G4690}: but{G1161} when{G3752} it is grown{G837}{(G5686)}, it is{G2076}{(G5748)} the greatest{G3187} among herbs{G3001}, and{G2532} becometh{G1096}{(G5736)} a tree{G1186}, so that{G5620} the birds{G4071} of the air{G3772} come{G2064}{(G5629)} and{G2532} lodge{G2681}{(G5721)} in{G1722} the branches{G2798} thereof{G846}.

Another{G243} parable{G3850} spake he{G2980}{(G5656)} unto them{G846}; The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076}{(G5748)} like{G3664} unto leaven{G2219}, which{G3739} a woman{G1135} took{G2983}{(G5631)}, and hid{G1470}{(G5656)} in{G1519} three{G5140} measures{G4568} of meal{G224}, till{G2193} the whole{G3650} was{G3739} leavened{G2220}{(G5681)}.

All{G3956} these things{G5023} spake{G2980}{(G5656)} Jesus{G2424} unto the multitude{G3793} in{G1722} parables{G3850}; and{G2532} without{G5565} a parable{G3850} spake he{G2980}{(G5707)} not{G3756} unto them{G846}:

That{G3704} it might be fulfilled{G4137}{(G5686)} which{G3588} was spoken{G4483}{(G5685)} by{G1223} the prophet{G4396}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, I will open{G455}{(G5692)} my{G3450} mouth{G4750} in{G1722} parables{G3850}; I will utter{G2044}{(G5695)} things which have been kept secret{G2928}{(G5772)} from{G575} the foundation{G2602} of the world{G2889}.

Then{G5119} Jesus{G2424} sent{G863} the multitude{G3793} away{G863}{(G5631)}, and went{G2064}{(G5627)} into{G1519} the house{G3614}: and{G2532} his{G846} disciples{G3101} came{G4334}{(G5656)} unto him{G846}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Declare{G5419}{(G5657)} unto us{G2254} the parable{G3850} of the tares{G2215} of the field{G68}.

He answered{G611}{(G5679)} and{G1161} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, He that soweth{G4687}{(G5723)} the good{G2570} seed{G4690} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the Son{G5207} of man{G444};

{G1161} The field{G68} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the world{G2889};{G1161} the good{G2570} seed{G4690} are{G3778}{G1526}{(G5748)} the children{G5207} of the kingdom{G932}; but{G1161} the tares{G2215} are{G1526}{(G5748)} the children{G5207} of the wicked{G4190} one;

{G1161} The enemy{G2190} that sowed{G4687}{(G5660)} them{G846} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the devil{G1228};{G1161} the harvest{G2326} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the end{G4930} of the world{G165}; and{G1161} the reapers{G2327} are{G1526}{(G5748)} the angels{G32}.

As{G5618} therefore{G3767} the tares{G2215} are gathered{G4816}{(G5743)} and{G2532} burned{G2618}{(G5743)} in the fire{G4442}; so{G3779} shall it be{G2071}{(G5704)} in{G1722} the end{G4930} of this{G5127} world{G165}.

The Son{G5207} of man{G444} shall send forth{G649}{(G5692)} his{G846} angels{G32}, and{G2532} they shall gather{G4816}{(G5692)} out of{G1537} his{G846} kingdom{G932} all things{G3956} that offend{G4625}, and{G2532} them which do{G4160}{(G5723)} iniquity{G458};

And{G2532} shall cast{G906}{(G5692)} them{G846} into{G1519} a furnace{G2575} of fire{G4442}: there{G1563} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} wailing{G2805} and{G2532} gnashing{G1030} of teeth{G3599}.

Then{G5119} shall the righteous{G1342} shine forth{G1584}{(G5692)} as{G5613} the sun{G2246} in{G1722} the kingdom{G932} of their{G846} Father{G3962}. Who{G3588} hath{G2192}{(G5723)} ears{G3775} to hear{G191}{(G5721)}, let him hear{G191}{(G5720)}.

Again{G3825}, the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076}{(G5748)} like{G3664} unto treasure{G2344} hid{G2928}{(G5772)} in{G1722} a field{G68}; the which{G3739} when a man{G444} hath found{G2147}{(G5631)}, he hideth{G2928}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} for{G575} joy{G5479} thereof{G846} goeth{G5217}{(G5719)} and{G2532} selleth{G4453}{(G5719)} all{G3956} that{G3745} he hath{G2192}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} buyeth{G59}{(G5719)} that{G1565} field{G68}.

Again{G3825}, the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076}{(G5748)} like{G3664} unto a merchant{G1713} man{G444}, seeking{G2212}{(G5723)} goodly{G2570} pearls{G3135}:

Who{G3739}, when he had found{G2147}{(G5631)} one{G1520} pearl{G3135} of great price{G4186}, went{G565}{(G5631)} and sold{G4097}{(G5758)} all{G3956} that{G3745} he had{G2192}{(G5707)}, and{G2532} bought{G59}{(G5656)} it{G846}.

Again{G3825}, the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076}{(G5748)} like{G3664} unto a net{G4522}, that was cast{G906}{(G5685)} into{G1519} the sea{G2281}, and{G2532} gathered{G4863}{(G5631)} of{G1537} every{G3956} kind{G1085}:

Which{G3739}, when{G3753} it was full{G4137}{(G5681)}, they drew{G307}{(G5660)} to{G1909} shore{G123}, and{G2532} sat down{G2523}{(G5660)}, and gathered{G4816}{(G5656)} the good{G2570} into{G1519} vessels{G30}, but{G1161} cast{G906}{(G5627)} the bad{G4550} away{G1854}.

So{G3779} shall it be{G2071}{(G5704)} at{G1722} the end{G4930} of the world{G165}: the angels{G32} shall come forth{G1831}{(G5695)}, and{G2532} sever{G873}{(G5692)} the wicked{G4190} from{G1537} among{G3319} the just{G1342},

And{G2532} shall cast{G906}{(G5692)} them{G846} into{G1519} the furnace{G2575} of fire{G4442}: there{G1563} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} wailing{G2805} and{G2532} gnashing{G1030} of teeth{G3599}.

Jesus{G2424} saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846}, Have ye understood{G4920}{(G5656)} all{G3956} these{G5023} things{G3956}? They say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, Yea{G3483}, Lord{G2962}.

Then{G1161} said{G2036}{(G5627)} he unto them{G846}, Therefore{G1223}{G5124} every{G3956} scribe{G1122} which is instructed{G3100}{(G5685)} unto{G1519} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is{G2076}{(G5748)} like{G3664} unto a man{G444} that is an householder{G3617}, which{G3748} bringeth forth{G1544}{(G5719)} out of{G1537} his{G846} treasure{G2344} things new{G2537} and{G2532} old{G3820}.

And{G2532} it came to pass{G1096}{(G5633)}, that when{G3753} Jesus{G2424} had finished{G5055}{(G5656)} these{G5025} parables{G3850}, he departed{G3332}{(G5656)} thence{G1564}.

And{G2532} when he was come{G2064}{(G5631)} into{G1519} his own{G846} country{G3968}, he taught{G1321}{(G5707)} them{G846} in{G1722} their{G846} synagogue{G4864}, insomuch that{G5620} they{G846} were astonished{G1605}{(G5745)}, and{G2532} said{G3004}{(G5721)}, Whence{G4159} hath this man{G5129} this{G3778} wisdom{G4678}, and{G2532} these mighty works{G1411}?

Is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} this{G3778} the carpenter's{G5045} son{G5207}? is{G3004} not{G3780} his{G846} mother{G3384} called{G3004}{(G5743)} Mary{G3137}? and{G2532} his{G846} brethren{G80}, James{G2385}, and{G2532} Joses{G2500}, and{G2532} Simon{G4613}, and{G2532} Judas{G2455}?

And{G2532} his{G846} sisters{G79}, are they{G1526}{(G5748)} not{G3780} all{G3956} with{G4314} us{G2248}? Whence{G4159} then{G3767} hath this man{G5129} all{G3956} these things{G5023}?

And{G2532} they were offended{G4624}{(G5712)} in{G1722} him{G846}. But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, A prophet{G4396} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} without honour{G820}, save{G1508} in{G1722} his own{G846} country{G3968}, and{G2532} in{G1722} his own{G846} house{G3614}.

And{G2532} he did{G4160}{(G5656)} not{G3756} many{G4183} mighty works{G1411} there{G1563} because{G1223} of their{G846} unbelief{G570}.
