Matthew 13
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 up:
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 it;
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 up?
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 it.
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.
