 13:1  The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the
sea side.
 13:2  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.
 13:3  And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
 13:4  And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side,
and the fowls came and devoured them up:
 13:5  Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much
earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no
deepness of earth:
 13:6  And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because
they had no root, they withered away.
 13:7  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up,
and choked them:
 13:8  But other fell into good ground, and brought forth
fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
 13:9  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
 13:10  And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest
thou unto them in parables?
 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.
 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.
 13:13  Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they
seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they
understand.
 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:
 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.
 13:16  But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your
ears, for they hear.
 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].
 13:18  Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
 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.
 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;
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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:
 13:25  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares
among the wheat, and went his way.
 13:26  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth
fruit, then appeared the tares also.
 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?
 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?
 13:29  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye
root up also the wheat with them.
 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.
 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:
 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.
 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.
 13:34  All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in
parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
 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.
 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.
 13:37  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good
seed is the Son of man;
 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];
 13:39  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is
the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
 13:40  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the
fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
 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;
 13:42  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall
be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
 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.
 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.
 13:45  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant
man, seeking goodly pearls:
 13:46  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went
and sold all that he had, and bought it.
 13:47  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that
was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
 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.
 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,
 13:50  And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
 13:51  Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these
things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
 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.
 13:53  And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished
these parables, he departed thence.
 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?
 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?
 13:56  And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then
hath this [man] all these things?
 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.
 13:58  And he did not many mighty works there because of their
unbelief.
