On that day Jesus went out of the house.
13:2 And there were gathered to him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach. — {Ru} ->[8:2]
And there were gathered to him great multitudes.
13:3 And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Look, the sower went forth to sow; — ->8:3
13:4 and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them: — ->8:4
13:5 and others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much earth: and right away they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: — ->8:5
13:6 and when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. — ->8:6
13:7 And others fell on the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them: — ->8:7
13:8 and others fell on the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. — ->8:8
13:9 He who has ears, let him hear. — ->8:9
13:10 And the disciples came, and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables? — ->8:10
13:11 And he answered and said to them, To you+ it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. — ->8:11
13:12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance: but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has. — ->8:12
13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they don't see, and hearing they don't hear, neither do they understand. — ->8:13
13:14 And to them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing you+ will hear, and will in no way understand; And seeing you+ will see, and will in no way perceive: — {Ou}
13:15 For this people's heart has waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest perhaps they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them. — {Ou}
13:16 But blessed are your+ eyes, for they see; and your+ ears, for they hear. — {Ru} ->[14:24]
And turning to the disciples, he said, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that you+ see; and the ears which hear the things that you+ hear.
13:17 For truly I say to you+, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you+ see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you+ hear, and did not hear them. — ->14:25
13:18 Then hear you+ the parable of the sower. — ->8:14
13:19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, [then] the evil [one] comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is he who was sown by the wayside. — ->8:15
13:20 And he who was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and right away with joy receives it; — ->8:16
13:21 yet he does not have root in himself, but endures for awhile; and when tribulation or persecution rises because of the word, right away he stumbles. — ->8:17
13:22 And he who was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word; and the care of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. — ->8:18
13:23 And he who was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it; who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. — ->8:19
13:24 He set another parable before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field: — ->8:20
13:25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds also among the wheat, and went away. — ->8:21
13:26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the weeds also. — ->8:22
13:27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? From where then has it weeds? — ->8:23
13:28 And he said to them, A hostile man has done this. And the slaves say to him, Will you then that we go and gather them up? — ->8:24
13:29 But he says, No; lest perhaps while you+ gather up the weeds, you+ root up the wheat with them. — ->8:25
13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn. — ->8:26
13:31 Another parable he set before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: — ->8:27
13:32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in its branches. — ->8:28
13:33 Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened. — ->8:29
13:34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spoke nothing to them: — ->8:30
13:35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. — {Ou}
13:36 Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field. — ->8:31
13:37 And he answered and said, He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; — ->8:32
13:38 and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil [one]; — ->8:33
13:39 and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the very end of the age; and the reapers are angels. — ->8:34
13:40 As therefore the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so it will be in the very end of the age. — ->8:35
13:41 The Son of Man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity, — ->8:36
13:42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. — {Ru} ->[8:37]
and will cast them into the furnace of fire.
13:43 Then will the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. — ->8:38
13:44 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field. — {Ouc}
13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking goodly pearls: — {Ouc}
13:46 and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. — {Ouc}
13:47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: — {Ouc}
13:48 which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away. — {Ouc}
13:49 So it will be in the very end of the age: the angels will come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, — {Ouc}
13:50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. — {Ouc}
13:51 Have you+ understood all these things? They say to him, Yes. — {Ouc}
13:52 And he said to them, Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old. — {Ouc}
13:53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there. — ->9:27
13:54 And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, From where has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? — ->9:28
13:55 Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother called Mary? And his brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? — ->9:29
13:56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? From where then has this man all these things? — ->9:30
13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house. — ->9:31
13:58 And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. — ->9:32
