Matthew:13:3-14
dourh@Matthew:13:3 @ And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.
dourh@Matthew:13:4 @ And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.
dourh@Matthew:13:5 @ And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.
dourh@Matthew:13:6 @ And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
dourh@Matthew:13:7 @ And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.
dourh@Matthew:13:8 @ And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
dourh@Matthew:13:9 @ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
dourh@Matthew:13:10 @ And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?
dourh@Matthew:13:11 @ Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.
dourh@Matthew:13:12 @ For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.
dourh@Matthew:13:13 @ Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
dourh@Matthew:13:14 @ And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.
