1 That day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting by the sea. 2 Andalarge crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach. | |
3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, “Behold, the sower went out to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. 5 Others fell on the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. 6 But when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 Others fellbamong the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them out. 8 And others fell on the good soil and *yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. 9 He who has ears,clet him hear.” | |
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 11 dJesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. 12 For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 eIn their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘fYOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING,gBUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; hYOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; 15 FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.’ | |
18 “Hear then the parable of the sower. 19 When anyone hears theiword of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. 20 The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of thejword, immediately hekfalls away. 22 And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of thelworld and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 23 And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty.” | |
24 Jesus presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heavenmmay be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowedntares among the wheat, and went away. 26 But when theowheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also. 27 The slaves of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field?pHow then does it have tares?’ 28 And he said to them, ‘Anqenemy has done this!’ The slaves *said to him, ‘Do you want us, then, to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he *said, ‘No; for while you are gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’” | |
31 He presented another parable to them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; 32 and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THErAIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES.” | |
33 He spoke another parable to them, “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in threespecks of flour until it was all leavened.” | |
36 Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of thettares of the field.” 37 And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, 38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is theuend of the age; and the reapers are angels. 40 So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at thevend of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdomwall stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears,xlet him hear. | |
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; 48 and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. 49 So it will be at theyend of the age; the angels will come forth andztake out the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. | |
51 “Have you understood all these things?” They *said to Him, “Yes.” 52 AndaaJesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.” | |
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, He departed from there. 54 He came toabHis hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and theseacmiraculous powers? 55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in hisadhometown and in his own household.” 58 And He did not do manyaemiracles there because of their unbelief. |
