* Another parable put he forth (5656 ) unto them , saying (5723 ), The kingdom of heaven is (5748 ) like to a grain of mustard seed , which a man took (5631 ), and sowed (5656 ) in his field : * Which indeed is (5748 ) the least of all seeds : but when it is grown (5686 ), it is (5748 ) the greatest among herbs , and becometh (5736 ) a tree , so that the birds of the air come (5629 ) and lodge (5721 ) in the branches thereof . * Another parable spake he (5656 ) unto them ; The kingdom of heaven is (5748 ) like unto leaven , which a woman took (5631 ), and hid (5656 ) in three measures of meal , till the whole was leavened (5681 ). * All these things spake (5656 ) Jesus unto the multitude in parables ; and without a parable spake he (5707 ) not unto them : * That it might be fulfilled (5686 ) which was spoken (5685 ) by the prophet , saying (5723 ), I will open (5692 ) my mouth in parables ; I will utter (5695 ) things which have been kept secret (5772 ) from the foundation of the world . * Then Jesus sent the multitude away (5631 ), and went (5627 ) into the house : and his disciples came (5656 ) unto him , saying (5723 ), Declare (5657 ) unto us the parable of the tares of the field . * He answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ) unto them , He that soweth (5723 ) the good seed is (5748 ) the Son of man ; * The field is (5748 ) the world ; the good seed are (5748 ) the children of the kingdom ; but the tares are (5748 ) the children of the wicked one ; * The enemy that sowed (5660 ) them is (5748 ) the devil ; the harvest is (5748 ) the end of the world ; and the reapers are (5748 ) the angels . * As therefore the tares are gathered (5743 ) and burned (5743 ) in the fire ; so shall it be (5704 ) in the end of this world . * The Son of man shall send forth (5692 ) his angels , and they shall gather (5692 ) out of his kingdom all things that offend , and them which do (5723 ) iniquity ; * And shall cast (5692 ) them into a furnace of fire : there shall be (5704 ) wailing and gnashing of teeth . * Then shall the righteous shine forth (5692 ) as the sun in the kingdom of their Father . Who hath (5723 ) ears to hear (5721 ), let him hear (5720 ). * Again , the kingdom of heaven is (5748 ) like unto treasure hid (5772 ) in a field ; the which when a man hath found (5631 ), he hideth (5656 ), and for joy thereof goeth (5719 ) and selleth (5719 ) all that he hath (5719 ), and buyeth (5719 ) that field . * Again , the kingdom of heaven is (5748 ) like unto a merchant man , seeking (5723 ) goodly pearls : * Who , when he had found (5631 ) one pearl of great price , went (5631 ) and sold (5758 ) all that he had (5707 ), and bought (5656 ) it . * Again , the kingdom of heaven is (5748 ) like unto a net , that was cast (5685 ) into the sea , and gathered (5631 ) of every kind : * Which , when it was full (5681 ), they drew (5660 ) to shore , and sat down (5660 ), and gathered (5656 ) the good into vessels , but cast (5627 ) the bad away . * So shall it be (5704 ) at the end of the world : the angels shall come forth (5695 ), and sever (5692 ) the wicked from among the just , * And shall cast (5692 ) them into the furnace of fire : there shall be (5704 ) wailing and gnashing of teeth . * Jesus saith (5719 ) unto them , Have ye understood (5656 ) all these things ? They say (5719 ) unto him , Yea , Lord . * Then said (5627 ) he unto them , Therefore every scribe which is instructed (5685 ) unto the kingdom of heaven is (5748 ) like unto a man that is an householder , which bringeth forth (5719 ) out of his treasure things new and old . * And it came to pass (5633 ), that when Jesus had finished (5656 ) these parables , he departed (5656 ) thence . * And when he was come (5631 ) into his own country , he taught (5707 ) them in their synagogue , insomuch that they were astonished (5745 ), and said (5721 ), Whence hath this man this wisdom , and these mighty works ? * Is (5748 ) not this the carpenters son ? is not his mother called (5743 ) Mary ? and his brethren , James , and Joses , and Simon , and Judas ? * And his sisters , are they (5748 ) not all with us ? Whence then hath this man all these things ? * And they were offended (5712 ) in him . But Jesus said (5627 ) unto them , A prophet is (5748 ) not without honour , save in his own country , and in his own house . * And he did (5656 ) not many mighty works there because of their unbelief .
