* In but the day that departing the Jesus from the house , he sat by the sea ; * and were gathered to him crowds great , so that he into the ship entering to be seated ; and all the crowds on the shore stood . * And he spake to them much in parables , saying : Lo , went out the sower of the (seed ) to sow . * And in the sowing it , some indeed fell on the path ; and came the birds , and ate them . * Others and fell on the rocky ground where not it had earth much ; and immediately sprung up , through the not to have a depth of earth ; * sun and having arisen , it was scorched ; and through the not have a root , was dried up . * Others and fell among the thorns ; and sprung up the thorns , and coked them . * Others and fell on the ground the good ; and bore fruit , the one a hundred , the other sixty , the other thirty . * He having ear to hear , let him hear . * And coming the disciples said to him : Why in parables speakest thou to them ? * He and answering said to the : Because to you it is given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens ; to them but not it is given . * Whoever for has , it shall be given to him , and he will be gifted with abundance ; Whoever but not has , even what he has , shall be taken from him . * Therefore this in parables to them I speak , for seeing not they see , and hearing not they hear , neither do they understand . * And is fulfilled to them the prophecy of Esaias , that saying : By hearing you shall hear , and not not may you understand ; and seeing you will see , and not not you may see . * Has grown fat for the heart of the people this , and with the ears heavily they hear , and the eyes of them they shut , lest they should see with the eyes , and with the ears they should hear , and with the heart should understand , and they should turn , and I should heal them . * Of you but blessed the eyes for they see ; and the ears of you for they hear . * Indeed for I say to you , that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see , what you see , and not saw ; and to hear , what you hear , and not heard . * You therefore hear the parable of the sower . * Any one hearing the word of the kingdom , and not understanding , comes the wicked (one ), and snatches that having been sown in the heart of him ; this is , that on the path being sown . * That but on the rocky ground being sown , this , who the word hearing and forthwith with joy receiving it ; * not he has but a root in himself , but transient is ; arising and trial or persecution through the word , immediately he is offended . * That but into the thorns being sown , this is , who the word hearing , and the care of the age this , and the delusion of the riches chokes the word ; and unfruitful becomes . * That but on the ground the good being sown , this is , who the word hearing , and understanding ; who really bear fruit , and yields , the one a hundred , the other sixty , the other thirty . * Another parable he proposed to them , saying : May be compared the kingdom of the heavens to a man sowing good seed in the field of him . * In and the to sleep the men , came of him the enemy , and sowed darnel through midst of the wheat ; and went forth . * When and was spring up the blade and fruit yielded , then appeared also the darnel . * Coming and the slaves of the householder , said to him : O lord , not good seed didst thou sow in the thy field ? whence then has it darnel ? * He and said to them : An enemy a man this has done . The and slaves said to him : Dost thou wish then going forth we should gather them ? * He said : No ; lest , gathering the darnel , you should root up with them the wheat . * Leave them to grow together both till the harvest ; and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters : Gather you first the darnel , and bind you them into bundles , for the to burn them ; the but wheat bring together into the barn of me . * Another parable he proposed to them , saying : Like is the kingdom of the heavens to a grain of mustard , which taking a man sowed in the field of him . * Which less indeed is of all of the seeds ; when but it may be grown , greater of the herbs is , and becomes a tree , so that to come the birds of the heaven , and to make nests in the branches of it . * Another parable he spake to them : Like is the kingdom of the heavens to leaven , which taking a woman mixed in of meal measures three , till of it was leavened whole . * These all spake the Jesus in parables to the crowds , and without a parable not he spake to them ; * so that it might be fulfilled the word spoken through the prophet , say : I will open in parables the mouth of me ; I will openly declare things having been hid from a beginning of the world . * Then leaving the crowds , went into the house the Jesus . And came to him the disciples of him , saying : Explain to us the parable of darnels of the field . * He and answering said to them : He sowing the good seed , is the son of the man ; * the and field , is the world ; the and good seed , they are the sons of the kingdom ; the and darnel , are the sons of the wicked (one ); * the and enemy , he having sown them , is the adversary ; the and harvest , end of the age is ; the and reapers , messengers are . * As therefore are gathered the darnel , and in a fire are burned ; so will it he in the end of the age this . * Will send the son of the man the messengers of him , and they will gather out of the kingdom of him all the seducers and those working the lawlessness , * and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire ; there shall be a weeping and gnashing of the teeth . * Then the righteous shall shine , as the sun , in the kingdom of the father of them . He having ears to hear , let him hear . * Again like is the kingdom of the heaven to a treasure having been hid in the field , which finding a man be hides , and from the joy of him he goes , and all as much he has sells , and buys the field that . * Again like is the kingdom of the heaven to a man a merchant , seeking choice pearls . * Finding and one costly pearl , going he sold all as much as he had , and bought it . * Again like is the kingdom of the heaven , to a drag –net , being cast into the sea , and of every kind bringing together ; * which when it is full , drawing to the shore , and sitting down they collected the good into vessels , the but bad away they cast . * So it will be in the end of the age . Shall go forth the messengers , and shall separate the wicked from among the just , * and shall cast them into the furnace of the fire ; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth . * Says to them the Jesus : Have you understood these things all ? They say to him : Yes O Lord . * He then said to them : Therefore this every scribe , being instructed to the kingdom of the heavens , like is to a man an householder , who brings out of the treasury of him new and old . * And it came to pass , when had concluded the Jesus the parables these , he departed thence .
