1
The
same
day
went
Jesus
out
of
the
house,
and
sat
by
the
sea
side.
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.
3
And
he
spake
many
things
unto
them
in
parables,
saying,
Behold,
a
sower
went
forth
to
sow;
4
And
when
he
sowed,
some
[seeds]
fell
by
the
way
side,
and
the
fowls
came
and
devoured
them
5
Some
fell
upon
stony
places,
where
they
had
not
much
earth:
and
forthwith
they
sprung
up,
because
they
had
no
deepness
of
earth:
6
And
when
the
sun
was
up,
they
were
scorched;
and
because
they
had
no
root,
they
withered
away.
7
And
some
fell
among
thorns;
and
the
thorns
sprung
up,
and
choked
them:
8
But
other
fell
into
good
ground,
and
brought
forth
fruit,
some
an
hundredfold,
some
sixtyfold,
some
thirtyfold.
9
Who
hath
ears
to
hear,
let
him
hear.
10
And
the
disciples
came,
and
said
unto
him,
Why
speakest
thou
unto
them
in
parables?
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.
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
Therefore
speak
I
to
them
in
parables:
because
they
seeing
see
not;
and
hearing
they
hear
not,
neither
do
they
understand.
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:
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.
16
But
blessed
[are]
your
eyes,
for
they
see:
and
your
ears,
for
they
hear.
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].
18
Hear
ye
therefore
the
parable
of
the
sower.
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.
20
But
he
that
received
the
seed
into
stony
places,
the
same
is
he
that
heareth
the
word,
and
anon
with
joy
receiveth
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.
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.
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.
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:
25
But
while
men
slept,
his
enemy
came
and
sowed
tares
among
the
wheat,
and
went
his
way.
26
But
when
the
blade
was
sprung
up,
and
brought
forth
fruit,
then
appeared
the
tares
also.
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?
28
He
said
unto
them,
An
enemy
hath
done
this.
The
servants
said
unto
him,
Wilt
thou
then
that
we
go
and
gather
them
29
But
he
said,
Nay;
lest
while
ye
gather
up
the
tares,
ye
root
up
also
the
wheat
with
them.
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.
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:
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.
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.
34
All
these
things
spake
Jesus
unto
the
multitude
in
parables;
and
without
a
parable
spake
he
not
unto
them:
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.
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.
37
He
answered
and
said
unto
them,
He
that
soweth
the
good
seed
is
the
Son
of
man;
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];
39
The
enemy
that
sowed
them
is
the
devil;
the
harvest
is
the
end
of
the
world;
and
the
reapers
are
the
angels.
40
As
therefore
the
tares
are
gathered
and
burned
in
the
fire;
so
shall
it
be
in
the
end
of
this
world.
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;
42
And
shall
cast
them
into
a
furnace
of
fire:
there
shall
be
wailing
and
gnashing
of
teeth.
43
Then
shall
the
righteous
shine
forth
as
the
sun
in
the
kingdom
of
their
Father.
Who
hath
ears
to
hear,
let
him
hear.
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.
45
Again,
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
unto
a
merchant
man,
seeking
goodly
pearls:
46
Who,
when
he
had
found
one
pearl
of
great
price,
went
and
sold
all
that
he
had,
and
bought
47
Again,
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
like
unto
a
net,
that
was
cast
into
the
sea,
and
gathered
of
every
kind:
48
Which,
when
it
was
full,
they
drew
to
shore,
and
sat
down,
and
gathered
the
good
into
vessels,
but
cast
the
bad
away.
49
So
shall
it
be
at
the
end
of
the
world:
the
angels
shall
come
forth,
and
sever
the
wicked
from
among
the
just,
50
And
shall
cast
them
into
the
furnace
of
fire:
there
shall
be
wailing
and
gnashing
of
teeth.
51
Jesus
saith
unto
them,
Have
ye
understood
all
these
things?
They
say
unto
him,
Yea,
Lord.
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.
53
And
it
came
to
pass,
[that]
when
Jesus
had
finished
these
parables,
he
departed
thence.
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?
55
Is
not
this
the
carpenter’s
son?
is
not
his
mother
called
Mary?
and
his
brethren,
James,
and
Joses,
and
Simon,
and
Judas?
56
And
his
sisters,
are
they
not
all
with
us?
Whence
then
hath
this
[man]
all
these
things?
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.
58
And
he
did
not
many
mighty
works
there
because
of
their
unbelief.
