Matthew:13:3-23

asv@Matthew:13:3 @And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;

asv@Matthew:13:4 @and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:

asv@Matthew:13:5 @and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:

asv@Matthew:13:6 @and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

asv@Matthew:13:7 @And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:

asv@Matthew:13:8 @and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

asv@Matthew:13:9 @He that hath ears, let him hear.

asv@Matthew:13:10 @And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

asv@Matthew:13:11 @And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

asv@Matthew:13:12 @For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

asv@Matthew:13:13 @Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

asv@Matthew:13:14 @And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

asv@Matthew:13:15 @For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.

asv@Matthew:13:16 @But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

asv@Matthew:13:17 @For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.

asv@Matthew:13:18 @Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

asv@Matthew:13:19 @When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, [then] cometh the evil [one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.

asv@Matthew:13:20 @And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;

asv@Matthew:13:21 @yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.

asv@Matthew:13:22 @And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

asv@Matthew:13:23 @And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
