ylt @Matthew:13:1 @And in that day Jesus , having gone forth from the house , was sitting by the sea , ylt @Matthew:13:2 @and gathered together unto him were many multitudes , so that he having gone into the boat did sit down , and all the multitude on the beach did stand , ylt @Matthew:13:3 @and he spake to them many things in similes , saying : 'Lo , the sower went forth to sow , ylt @Matthew:13:4 @and in his sowing , some indeed fell by the way , and the fowls did come and devour them , ylt @Matthew:13:5 @and others fell upon the rocky places , where they had not much earth , and immediately they sprang forth , through not having depth of earth , ylt @Matthew:13:6 @and the sun having risen they were scorched , and through not having root , they withered , ylt @Matthew:13:7 @and others fell upon the thorns , and the thorns did come up and choke them , ylt @Matthew:13:8 @and others fell upon the good ground , and were giving fruit , some indeed a hundredfold , and some sixty , and some thirty . ylt @Matthew:13:9 @He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear .' ylt @Matthew:13:10 @And the disciples having come near , said to him , 'Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them ?' ylt @Matthew:13:11 @And he answering said to them that -- 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens , and to these it hath not been given , ylt @Matthew:13:12 @for whoever hath , it shall be given to him , and he shall have overabundance , and whoever hath not , even that which he hath shall be taken from him . ylt @Matthew:13:13 @'Because of this , in similes do I speak to them , because seeing they do not see , and hearing they do not hear , nor understand , ylt @Matthew:13:14 @and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah , that saith , With hearing ye shall hear , and ye shall not understand , and seeing ye shall see , and ye shall not perceive , ylt @Matthew:13:15 @for made gross was the heart of this people , and with the ears they heard heavily , and their eyes they did close , lest they might see with the eyes , and with the ears might hear , and with the heart understand , and turn back , and I might heal them . ylt @Matthew:13:16 @'And happy are your eyes because they see , and your ears because they hear , ylt @Matthew:13:17 @for verily I say to you , that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on , and they did not see , and to hear that which ye hear , and they did not hear . ylt @Matthew:13:18 @'Ye , therefore , hear ye the simile of the sower : ylt @Matthew:13:19 @Every one hearing the word of the reign , and not understanding -- the evil one doth come , and doth catch that which hath been sown in his heart ; this is that sown by the way . ylt @Matthew:13:20 @'And that sown on the rocky places , this is he who is hearing the word , and immediately with joy is receiving it , ylt @Matthew:13:21 @and he hath not root in himself , but is temporary , and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word , immediately he is stumbled . ylt @Matthew:13:22 @'And that sown toward the thorns , this is he who is hearing the word , and the anxiety of this age , and the deceitfulness of the riches , do choke the word , and it becometh unfruitful . ylt @Matthew:13:23 @'And that sown on the good ground : this is he who is hearing the word , and is understanding , who indeed doth bear fruit , and doth make , some indeed a hundredfold , and some sixty , and some thirty .' ylt @Matthew:13:24 @Another simile he set before them , saying : 'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field , ylt @Matthew:13:25 @and , while men are sleeping , his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat , and went away , ylt @Matthew:13:26 @and when the herb sprang up , and yielded fruit , then appeared also the darnel . ylt @Matthew:13:27 @'And the servants of the householder , having come near , said to him , Sir , good seed didst thou not sow in thy field ? whence then hath it the darnel ? ylt @Matthew:13:28 @And he saith to them , A man , an enemy , did this ; and the servants said to him , Wilt thou , then , [that ] having gone away we may gather it up ? ylt @Matthew:13:29 @'And he said , No , lest -- gathering up the darnel -- ye root up with it the wheat , ylt @Matthew:13:30 @suffer both to grow together till the harvest , and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers , Gather up first the darnel , and bind it in bundles , to burn it , and the wheat gather up into my storehouse .' ylt @Matthew:13:31 @Another simile he set before them , saying : 'The reign of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard , which a man having taken , did sow in his field , ylt @Matthew:13:32 @which less , indeed , is than all the seeds , but when it may be grown , is greatest of the herbs , and becometh a tree , so that the birds of the heaven do come and rest in its branches .' ylt @Matthew:13:33 @Another simile spake he to them : 'The reign of the heavens is like to leaven , which a woman having taken , hid in three measures of meal , till the whole was leavened .' ylt @Matthew:13:34 @All these things spake Jesus in similes to the multitudes , and without a simile he was not speaking to them , ylt @Matthew:13:35 @that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet , saying , 'I will open in similes my mouth , I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world .' ylt @Matthew:13:36 @Then having let away the multitudes , Jesus came to the house , and his disciples came near to him , saying , 'Explain to us the simile of the darnel of the field .' ylt @Matthew:13:37 @And he answering said to them , 'He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man , ylt @Matthew:13:38 @and the field is the world , and the good seed , these are the sons of the reign , and the darnel are the sons of the evil one , ylt @Matthew:13:39 @and the enemy who sowed them is the devil , and the harvest is a full end of the age , and the reapers are messengers . ylt @Matthew:13:40 @'As , then , the darnel is gathered up , and is burned with fire , so shall it be in the full end of this age , ylt @Matthew:13:41 @the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers , and they shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks , and those doing the unlawlessness , ylt @Matthew:13:42 @and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire ; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth . ylt @Matthew:13:43 @'Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father . He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear . ylt @Matthew:13:44 @'Again , the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field , which a man having found did hide , and from his joy goeth , and all , as much as he hath , he selleth , and buyeth that field . ylt @Matthew:13:45 @'Again , the reign of the heavens is like to a man , a merchant , seeking goodly pearls , ylt @Matthew:13:46 @who having found one pearl of great price , having gone away , hath sold all , as much as he had , and bought it . ylt @Matthew:13:47 @'Again , the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea , and did gather together of every kind , ylt @Matthew:13:48 @which , when it was filled , having drawn up again upon the beach , and having sat down , they gathered the good into vessels , and the bad they did cast out , ylt @Matthew:13:49 @so shall it be in the full end of the age , the messengers shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous , ylt @Matthew:13:50 @and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire , there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth .' ylt @Matthew:13:51 @Jesus saith to them , 'Did ye understand all these ?' They say to him , 'Yes , sir .' ylt @Matthew:13:52 @And he said to them , 'Because of this every scribe having been discipled in regard to the reign of the heavens , is like to a man , a householder , who doth bring forth out of his treasure things new and old .' ylt @Matthew:13:53 @And it came to pass , when Jesus finished these similes , he removed thence , ylt @Matthew:13:54 @and having come to his own country , he was teaching them in their synagogue , so that they were astonished , and were saying , 'Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works ? ylt @Matthew:13:55 @is not this the carpenter 's son ? is not his mother called Mary , and his brethren James , and Joses , and Simon , and Judas ? ylt @Matthew:13:56 @and his sisters -- are they not all with us ? whence , then , to this one all these ?' ylt @Matthew:13:57 @and they were stumbled at him . And Jesus said to them , 'A prophet is not without honor except in his own country , and in his own house :' ylt @Matthew:13:58 @and he did not there many mighty works , because of their unbelief .
