Matthew 13:1On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.Matthew 13:2Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach.Matthew 13:3He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.Matthew 13:4As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.Matthew 13:5Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.Matthew 13:6When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.Matthew 13:7Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.Matthew 13:8Others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.Matthew 13:9He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”Matthew 13:10The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”Matthew 13:11He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.Matthew 13:12For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.Matthew 13:13Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.Matthew 13:14In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:Matthew 13:15for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.’Matthew 13:16“But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.Matthew 13:17For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.Matthew 13:18“Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.Matthew 13:19When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.Matthew 13:20What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;Matthew 13:21yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.Matthew 13:22What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.Matthew 13:23What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”Matthew 13:24He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,Matthew 13:25but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.Matthew 13:26But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.Matthew 13:27The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?’Matthew 13:28“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’Matthew 13:29“But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.Matthew 13:30Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”Matthew 13:31He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;Matthew 13:32which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”Matthew 13:33He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”Matthew 13:34Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,Matthew 13:35that 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.”Matthew 13:36Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”Matthew 13:37He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,Matthew 13:38the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.Matthew 13:39The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.Matthew 13:40As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.Matthew 13:41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,Matthew 13:42and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.Matthew 13:43Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.Matthew 13:44“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.Matthew 13:45“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,Matthew 13:46who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.Matthew 13:47“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,Matthew 13:48which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.Matthew 13:49So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,Matthew 13:50and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.”Matthew 13:51Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”Matthew 13:52He said to them, “Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”Mark 4:2He taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching,Mark 4:3“Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow,Mark 4:4and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and devoured it.Mark 4:5Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.Mark 4:6When the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.Mark 4:7Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.Mark 4:8Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some brought forth thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much.”Mark 4:9He said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
