* 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 . * 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 . * Therefore speak I to them in parables : because they seeing see not ; and hearing they hear not , neither do they understand . * 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 : * 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 . * But blessed are your eyes , for they see : and your ears , for they hear . * 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 . * Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower . * 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 . * But he that received the seed into stony places , the same is he that heareth the word , and anon with joy receiveth it ; * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * Another parable put he forth unto them , saying , The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field : * But while men slept , his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat , and went his way . * But when the blade was sprung up , and brought forth fruit , then appeared the tares also . * 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 ? * He said unto them , An enemy hath done this . The servants said unto him , Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up ? * But he said , Nay ; lest while ye gather up the tares , ye root up also the wheat with them . * 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 . * 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 : * 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 . * 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 . * All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables ; and without a parable spake he not unto them : * 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 .
