Matthew 13

3 The parable of the sower and the seed: 18 the exposition of it. 24 The parable of the tares, 31 of the mustard seed, 33 of the leaven, 44 of the hidden treasure, 45 of the pearl, 47 of the drawnet cast into the sea, 53 and how Christ is contemned of his own countrymen.

 13:1 ¶ y1161 The same 1565 y1722 day 2250 went 1831 z5631 Jesus 2424 out of 575 the x3588 house, 3614 and x2532 sat 2521 z5711 by 3844 the x3588 sea side. 2281

 13:2 And 2532 great 4183 multitudes 3793 were gathered together 4863 z5681 unto 4314 him, 846 so that 5620 he 846 went 1684 z5631 into 1519 a ship, 4143 and sat; 2521 z5738 and 2532 the x3588 whole 3956 multitude 3793 stood 2476 z5715 on 1909 the x3588 shore. 123

 13:3 And 2532 he spake 2980 z5656 many things 4183 unto them 846 in 1722 parables, 3850 saying, 3004 z5723 Behold, 2400 z5628 a sower 4687 z5723 went forth 1831 z5627 to sow; 4687 z5721

 13:4 And 2532 when y1722 he 846 sowed, 4687 z5721 some 3739 3303 [seeds] fell 4098 z5627 by 3844 the x3588 way side, 3598 and 2532 the x3588 fowls 4071 came 2064 z5627 and 2532 devoured y2719 z0 them y846 up: 2719 z5627 x846

 13:5 x1161 Some 243 y1161 fell 4098 z5627 upon 1909 stony places, 4075 where 3699 they had 2192 z5707 not 3756 much 4183 earth: 1093 and 2532 forthwith 2112 they sprung up, 1816 z5656 because y1223 they had 2192 z5721 no 3361 deepness 899 of earth: 1093

 13:6 And 1161 when the sun 2246 was up, 393 z5660 they were scorched; 2739 z5681 and 2532 because y1223 they had 2192 z5721 no 3361 root, 4491 they withered away. 3583 z5681

 13:7 And 1161 some 243 fell 4098 z5627 among 1909 thorns; 173 and 2532 the x3588 thorns 173 sprung up, 305 z5627 and 2532 choked 638 z5656 them: 846

 13:8 But 1161 other 243 fell 4098 z5627 into 1909 good 2570 ground, 1093 and 2532 brought forth 1325 z5707 fruit, 2590 some 3739 3303 an hundredfold, 1540 1161 some 3739 sixtyfold, 1835 1161 some 3739 thirtyfold. 5144

 13:9 Who y3588 hath 2192 z5723 ears 3775 to hear, 191 z5721 let him hear. 191 z5720

 13:10 And 2532 the x3588 disciples 3101 came, 4334 z5631 and said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Why 1302 speakest x2980 thou y2980 z5719 unto them 846 in 1722 parables? 3850

 13:11 x1161 He x3588 answered 611 z5679 and y1161 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Because 3754 it is given 1325 z5769 unto you 5213 to know 1097 z5629 the x3588 mysteries 3466 of the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven, 3772 but 1161 to them 1565 it is y1325 z0 not 3756 given. 1325 z5769

 13:12 For 1063 whosoever 3748 hath, 2192 z5719 to him 846 shall be given, 1325 z5701 and 2532 he shall have more abundance: 4052 z5701 but 1161 whosoever 3748 hath 2192 z5719 not, 3756 from 575 him 846 shall be taken away 142 z5701 even 2532 that 3739 he hath. 2192 z5719

 13:13 Therefore 1223 5124 speak x2980 I y2980 z5719 to them 846 in 1722 parables: 3850 because 3754 they seeing 991 z5723 see 991 z5719 not; 3756 and 2532 hearing 191 z5723 they hear 191 z5719 not, 3756 neither 3761 do they understand. 4920 z5719

 13:14 And 2532 in 1909 them 846 is fulfilled 378 z5743 the x3588 prophecy 4394 of Esaias, 2268 which y3588 saith, 3004 z5723 By hearing 189 ye shall hear, 191 z5692 and 2532 shall y4920 z0 not 3364 understand; 4920 z5655 and 2532 seeing 991 z5723 ye shall see, 991 z5692 and 2532 shall y1492 z0 not 3364 perceive: 1492 z5632

 13:15 For 1063 this 5127 people's 2992 heart y2588 x2558 is waxed gross, 3975 z5681 and 2532 [their] ears 3775 are dull y917 of hearing, 191 z5656 x917 and 2532 their y846 x848 eyes 3788 they have closed; 2576 z5656 lest at any time 3379 they should see 1492 z5632 with [their] eyes, y3788 x3778 and 2532 hear 191 z5661 with [their] ears, 3775 and 2532 should understand 4920 z5632 with [their] heart, 2588 and 2532 should be converted, 1994 z5661 and 2532 I should heal 2390 z5667 them. 846

 13:16 But 1161 blessed 3107 [are] your 5216 eyes, y3788 x3778 for 3754 they see: 991 z5719 and 2532 your 5216 ears, 3775 for 3754 they hear. 191 z5719

 13:17 For 1063 verily 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 That 3754 many 4183 prophets 4396 and 2532 righteous 1342 [men] have desired 1937 z5656 to see 1492 z5629 [those things] which 3739 ye see, 991 z5719 and 2532 have y1492 z0 not 3756 seen 1492 z5627 [them]; and 2532 to hear 191 z5658 [those things] which 3739 ye hear, 191 z5719 and 2532 have y191 z0 not 3756 heard 191 z5656 [them].

 13:18 ¶ Hear 191 z5657 ye 5210 therefore 3767 the x3588 parable 3850 of the x3588 sower. 4687 z5723

 13:19 When any y3956 one x3956 heareth 191 z5723 the x3588 word 3056 of the x3588 kingdom, 932 and 2532 understandeth 4920 z5723 [it] not, 3361 then cometh 2064 z5736 the x3588 wicked 4190 [one], and 2532 catcheth away 726 z5719 that which y3588 was sown 4687 z5772 in 1722 his 846 heart. 2588 This 3778 is 2076 z5748 he which received seed 4687 z5651 by 3844 the x3588 way side. 3598

 13:20 But 1161 he that received the seed 4687 z5651 into 1909 stony places, 4075 the same 3778 is 2076 z5748 he that heareth 191 z5723 the x3588 word, 3056 and 2532 anon 2117 with 3326 joy 5479 receiveth 2983 z5723 it; 846

 13:21 Yet 1161 hath x2192 he y2192 z5719 not 3756 root 4491 in 1722 himself, 1438 but 235 dureth y2076 z5748 for a while: 4340 x2076 for 1161 when tribulation 2347 or 2228 persecution 1375 ariseth 1096 z5637 because 1223 of the x3588 word, 3056 by and by 2117 he is offended. 4624 z5743

 13:22 He also y1161 that received seed 4687 z5651 x1161 among 1519 the x3588 thorns 173 x3778 is 2076 z5748 he that y3778 heareth 191 z5723 the x3588 word; 3056 and 2532 the x3588 care 3308 of this 5127 world, 165 and 2532 the x3588 deceitfulness 539 of riches, 4149 choke 4846 z5719 the x3588 word, 3056 and 2532 he becometh 1096 z5736 unfruitful. 175

 13:23 But 1161 he that received seed 4687 z5651 into 1909 the x3588 good 2570 ground 1093 is 2076 z5748 he y3778 that heareth 191 z5723 the x3588 word, 3056 and 2532 understandeth 4920 z5723 [it]; which 3739 also 1211 beareth fruit, 2592 z5719 and 2532 bringeth forth, 4160 z5719 some 3303 y3739 x3588 an hundredfold, 1540 1161 some y3739 x3588 sixty, 1835 1161 some y3739 x3588 thirty. 5144

 13:24 ¶ Another 243 parable 3850 put he forth 3908 z5656 unto them, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 The x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is likened y3666 z5681 unto x3666 a man 444 which sowed 4687 z5723 z5625 z5660 good 2570 seed 4690 in 1722 his y846 x848 field: 68

 13:25 But 1161 while y1722 men 444 slept, 2518 z5721 his 846 enemy 2190 came 2064 z5627 and 2532 sowed 4687 z5656 tares 2215 among 303 3319 the x3588 wheat, 4621 and 2532 went his way. 565 z5627

 13:26 But 1161 when 3753 the x3588 blade 5528 was sprung up, 985 z5656 and 2532 brought forth 4160 z5656 fruit, 2590 then 5119 appeared 5316 z5648 the x3588 tares 2215 also. 2532

 13:27 So 1161 the x3588 servants 1401 of the x3588 householder 3617 came 4334 z5631 and said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Sir, 2962 didst y4687 z0 not 3780 thou sow 4687 z5656 good 2570 seed 4690 in 1722 thy 4674 field? 68 from whence 4159 then 3767 hath x2192 it y2192 z5719 tares? 2215

 13:28 1161 He x3588 said 5346 z5713 unto them, 846 An x444 enemy 2190 y444 hath done 4160 z5656 this. 5124 y1161 The x3588 servants 1401 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Wilt x2309 thou y2309 z5719 then 3767 that we go 565 z5631 and x2532 gather y4816 z0 them y846 up? 4816 z5661 x846

 13:29 But 1161 he x3588 said, 5346 z5713 Nay; 3756 lest 3379 while ye gather up 4816 z5723 the x3588 tares, 2215 ye root up 1610 z5661 also the x3588 wheat 4621 with 260 them. 846

 13:30 Let 863 z5628 both 297 grow together 4885 z5745 until 3360 the x3588 harvest: 2326 and 2532 in 1722 the x3588 time 2540 of harvest 2326 I will say 2046 z5692 to the x3588 reapers, 2327 Gather ye together 4816 z5657 first 4412 the x3588 tares, 2215 and 2532 bind 1210 z5657 them 846 in 1519 bundles 1197 to y4314 burn 2618 z5658 them: 846 but 1161 gather 4863 z5628 the x3588 wheat 4621 into 1519 my 3450 barn. 596

 13:31 ¶ Another 243 parable 3850 put he forth 3908 z5656 unto them, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 The x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 like y3664 to x3664 a grain 2848 of mustard seed, 4615 which 3739 a man 444 took, 2983 z5631 and x2532 sowed 4687 z5656 in 1722 his 846 field: 68

 13:32 Which 3739 indeed 3303 is 2076 z5748 the least 3398 of all 3956 seeds: 4690 but 1161 when 3752 it is grown, 837 z5686 it is 2076 z5748 the greatest 3187 among herbs, 3001 and 2532 becometh 1096 z5736 a tree, 1186 so that 5620 the x3588 birds 4071 of the x3588 air 3772 come 2064 z5629 and 2532 lodge 2681 z5721 in 1722 the x3588 branches 2798 thereof. 846

 13:33 ¶ Another 243 parable 3850 spake x2980 he y2980 z5656 unto them; 846 The x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 like y3664 unto x3664 leaven, 2219 which 3739 a woman 1135 took, 2983 z5631 and x2532 hid 1470 z5656 in 1519 three 5140 measures 4568 of meal, 224 till 2193 the x3739 whole 3650 was y3739 leavened. 2220 z5681

 13:34 All 3956 these things 5023 spake 2980 z5656 Jesus 2424 unto the x3588 multitude 3793 in 1722 parables; 3850 and 2532 without 5565 a parable 3850 spake x2980 he y2980 z5707 not 3756 unto them: 846

 13:35 That 3704 it might be fulfilled 4137 z5686 which y3588 was spoken 4483 z5685 by 1223 the x3588 prophet, 4396 saying, 3004 z5723 I will open 455 z5692 my 3450 mouth 4750 in 1722 parables; 3850 I will utter 2044 z5695 things which have been kept secret 2928 z5772 from 575 the foundation 2602 of the world. 2889

 13:36 Then 5119 Jesus 2424 sent y863 z0 the multitude y3793 away, 863 z5631 x3588 x3793 and went 2064 z5627 into 1519 the x3588 house: 3614 and 2532 his 846 disciples 3101 came 4334 z5656 unto him, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 Declare 5419 z5657 unto us 2254 the x3588 parable 3850 of the x3588 tares 2215 of the x3588 field. 68

 13:37 x1161 He x3588 answered 611 z5679 and y1161 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 He that soweth 4687 z5723 the x3588 good 2570 seed 4690 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 Son 5207 of man; 444

 13:38 1161 The x3588 field 68 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 world; 2889 y1161 the x3588 good 2570 seed 4690 are 3778 1526 z5748 the x3588 children 5207 of the x3588 kingdom; 932 but 1161 the x3588 tares 2215 are 1526 z5748 the x3588 children 5207 of the x3588 wicked 4190 [one];

 13:39 1161 The x3588 enemy 2190 that sowed 4687 z5660 them 846 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 devil; 1228 y1161 the x3588 harvest 2326 is 2076 z5748 the end 4930 of the x3588 world; 165 and y1161 x2532 the x3588 reapers 2327 are 1526 z5748 the angels. 32

 13:40 As 5618 therefore 3767 the x3588 tares 2215 are gathered 4816 z5743 and 2532 burned 2618 z5743 in the fire; 4442 so 3779 shall it be 2071 z5704 in 1722 the x3588 end 4930 of this 5127 world. 165

 13:41 The x3588 Son 5207 of man 444 shall send forth 649 z5692 his 846 angels, 32 and 2532 they shall gather 4816 z5692 out of 1537 his y846 x848 kingdom 932 all things 3956 that offend, 4625 and 2532 them which do 4160 z5723 iniquity; 458

 13:42 And 2532 shall cast 906 z5692 them 846 into 1519 a furnace 2575 of fire: 4442 there 1563 shall be 2071 z5704 wailing 2805 and 2532 gnashing 1030 of teeth. 3599

 13:43 Then 5119 shall the x3588 righteous 1342 shine forth 1584 z5692 as 5613 the x3588 sun 2246 in 1722 the x3588 kingdom 932 of their y846 x848 Father. 3962 Who y3588 hath 2192 z5723 ears 3775 to hear, 191 z5721 let him hear. 191 z5720

 13:44 ¶ Again, 3825 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 like y3664 unto x3664 treasure 2344 hid 2928 z5772 in 1722 a field; 68 the which 3739 when a man 444 hath found, 2147 z5631 he hideth, 2928 z5656 and 2532 for 575 joy 5479 thereof 846 goeth 5217 z5719 and 2532 selleth 4453 z5719 all 3956 that 3745 he hath, 2192 z5719 and 2532 buyeth 59 z5719 that 1565 field. 68

 13:45 ¶ Again, 3825 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 like y3664 unto x3664 a merchant 1713 man, 444 seeking 2212 z5723 goodly 2570 pearls: 3135

 13:46 Who, 3739 when he had found 2147 z5631 one 1520 pearl 3135 of great price, 4186 went 565 z5631 and sold 4097 z5758 all 3956 that 3745 he had, 2192 z5707 and 2532 bought 59 z5656 it. 846

 13:47 ¶ Again, 3825 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 like y3664 unto x3664 a net, 4522 that was cast 906 z5685 into 1519 the x3588 sea, 2281 and 2532 gathered 4863 z5631 of 1537 every 3956 kind: 1085

 13:48 Which, 3739 when 3753 it was full, 4137 z5681 they drew 307 z5660 to 1909 shore, 123 and 2532 sat down, 2523 z5660 and gathered 4816 z5656 the x3588 good 2570 into 1519 vessels, 30 but 1161 cast 906 z5627 the x3588 bad 4550 away. 1854

 13:49 So 3779 shall it be 2071 z5704 at 1722 the x3588 end 4930 of the x3588 world: 165 the x3588 angels 32 shall come forth, 1831 z5695 and 2532 sever 873 z5692 the x3588 wicked 4190 from 1537 among 3319 the x3588 just, 1342

 13:50 And 2532 shall cast 906 z5692 them 846 into 1519 the x3588 furnace 2575 of fire: 4442 there 1563 shall be 2071 z5704 wailing 2805 and 2532 gnashing 1030 of teeth. y3599 x3559

 13:51 Jesus 2424 saith 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 Have ye understood 4920 z5656 all 3956 z0 these y5023 things? y3956 They x5023 say 3004 z5719 unto him, 846 Yea, 3483 Lord. 2962

 13:52 Then 1161 said 2036 z5627 he x3588 unto them, 846 Therefore 1223 5124 every 3956 scribe 1122 [which is] instructed 3100 z5685 unto 1519 the x3588 kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is 2076 z5748 like y3664 unto x3664 a man 444 [that is] an householder, 3617 which 3748 bringeth forth 1544 z5719 out x1537 of y1537 his y846 x848 treasure 2344 [things] new 2537 and 2532 old. 3820

 13:53 ¶ And 2532 it came to pass, 1096 z5633 [that] when 3753 Jesus 2424 had finished 5055 z5656 these 5025 parables, 3850 he departed 3332 z5656 thence. 1564

 13:54 And 2532 when he was come 2064 z5631 into 1519 his own y846 x848 country, 3968 he taught 1321 z5707 them 846 in 1722 their 846 synagogue, 4864 insomuch that 5620 they 846 were astonished, 1605 z5745 and 2532 said, 3004 z5721 Whence 4159 hath this x5129 [man] y5129 this 3778 wisdom, 4678 and 2532 [these] mighty works? 1411

 13:55 Is 2076 z5748 not 3756 this 3778 the x3588 carpenter's 5045 son? 5207 is y3004 z0 not 3780 his 846 mother 3384 called 3004 z5743 Mary? 3137 and 2532 his 846 brethren, 80 James, 2385 and 2532 Joses, 2500 and 2532 Simon, 4613 and 2532 Judas? 2455

 13:56 And 2532 his 846 sisters, 79 are x1526 they y1526 z5748 not 3780 all 3956 with 4314 us? 2248 Whence 4159 then 3767 hath this x5129 [man] y5129 all 3956 these things? 5023

 13:57 And 2532 they were offended 4624 z5712 in 1722 him. 846 But 1161 Jesus 2424 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 A prophet 4396 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 without honour, 820 save 1508 in 1722 his own y846 x848 country, 3968 and 2532 in 1722 his own y846 x848 house. 3614

 13:58 And 2532 he did 4160 z5656 not 3756 many 4183 mighty works 1411 there 1563 because 1223 of their 846 unbelief. 570
