13:2 | 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. |
13:3 | And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; |
13:4 | And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: |
13:5 | Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much ![]() ![]() |

13:7 | And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: |
13:8 | But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. |
13:9 | Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
13:10 | And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? |
13:11 | 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. |
13:12 | 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. |
13:13 | Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing ![]() ![]() |

13:18 | Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. |
13:19 | 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. |
13:20 | But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; |
13:21 | 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. |
13:22 | 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. |
13:23 | 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. |
13:24 | Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: |
13:25 | But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the ![]() |
13:26 | But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. |
13:27 | 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? |
13:28 | He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? |
13:29 | But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the ![]() |

13:32 | Which ![]() |
13:33 | 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. |
13:34 | All these things spake ![]() |
13:35 | 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. |
13:36 | Then ![]() ![]() |
13:37 | He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; |
13:38 | The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; |
13:39 | The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. |
13:40 | As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. |
13:41 | The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which ![]() |
13:42 | And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. |

13:44 | 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. |
13:45 | Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: |
13:46 | Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. |
13:47 | Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a ![]() |
13:48 | Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. |
13:49 | So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, |
13:50 | And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. |

13:52 | 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. |
