acv Matthew:13:3-23
acv@Matthew:13:3 @ And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.
acv@Matthew:13:4 @ And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
acv@Matthew:13:5 @ But others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much soil, and straightaway they sprang up because they had no depth of soil.
acv@Matthew:13:6 @ But when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.
acv@Matthew:13:7 @ And others fell in the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
acv@Matthew:13:8 @ But others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
acv@Matthew:13:9 @ He who has ears, let him hear.
acv@Matthew:13:10 @ And the disciples having come, they said to him, Why do thou speak to them in parables?
acv@Matthew:13:11 @ And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.
acv@Matthew:13:12 @ For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
acv@Matthew:13:13 @ Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.
acv@Matthew:13:14 @ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
acv@Matthew:13:15 @ For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.
acv@Matthew:13:16 @ But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
acv@Matthew:13:17 @ For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.
acv@Matthew:13:18 @ Hear ye then the parable of the man who sows.
acv@Matthew:13:19 @ Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understands it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.
acv@Matthew:13:20 @ And that which was sown upon the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and straightaway receiving it with joy,
acv@Matthew:13:21 @ yet he has no root in himself, instead it is temporary. And when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway he is caused to stumble.
acv@Matthew:13:22 @ And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
acv@Matthew:13:23 @ But that which was sown upon the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and is productive, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
