*
And he said unto them ,
Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God :
but unto them that are without ,
all these things are done in parables :
*
That seeing they may see ,
and not perceive ;
and hearing they may hear ,
and not understand ;
lest at any time they should be converted ,
and their sins should be forgiven them .
*
And he said unto them ,
Know ye not this parable ?
and how then will ye know all parables ?
*
The sower soweth the word .
*
And these are they by the way side ,
where the word is sown ;
but when they have heard ,
Satan cometh immediately ,
and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts .
*
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground ;
who ,
when they have heard the word ,
immediately receive it with gladness ;
*
And have no root in themselves ,
and so endure but for a time :
afterward ,
when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word '
s sake ,
immediately they are offended .
*
And these are they which are sown among thorns ;
such as hear the word ,
*
And the cares of this world ,
and the deceitfulness of riches ,
and the lusts of other things entering in ,
choke the word ,
and it becometh unfruitful .
*
And these are they which are sown on good ground ;
such as hear the word ,
and receive it ,
and bring forth fruit ,
some thirtyfold ,
some sixty ,
and some an hundred .
*
And he said unto them ,
Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel ,
or under a bed ?
and not to be set on a candlestick ?
*
For there is nothing hid ,
which shall not be manifested ;
neither was any thing kept secret ,
but that it should come abroad .
*
If any man have ears to hear ,
let him hear .
*
And he said unto them ,
Take heed what ye hear :
with what measure ye mete ,
it shall be measured to you :
and unto you that hear shall more be given .
*
For he that hath ,
to him shall be given :
and he that hath not ,
from him shall be taken even that which he hath .
*
And he said ,
So is the kingdom of God ,
as if a man should cast seed into the ground ;
