Matthew - Chapter: 13


13:1	The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
13:2	And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
13:3	And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
13:4	And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
13:5	Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
13:6	And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
13:7	And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
13:8	But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
13:9	Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:10	And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
13:11	He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
13:12	For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13:13	Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13:14	And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
13:15	For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
13:16	But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
13:17	For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
13:18	Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
13:19	When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
13:20	But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
13:21	Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
13:22	He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
13:23	But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
13:24	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
13:25	But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
13:26	But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
13:27	So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
13:28	He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
13:29	But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
13:30	Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
13:31	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
13:32	Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
13:33	Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
13:34	All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
13:35	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
13:36	Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
13:37	He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
13:38	The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
13:39	The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
13:40	As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
13:41	The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
13:42	And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:43	Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:44	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
13:45	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
13:46	Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
13:47	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
13:48	Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
13:49	So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
13:50	And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:51	Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
13:52	Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
13:53	And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
13:54	And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
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?
13:56	And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
13:57	And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
13:58	And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.


13:1	The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.
13:2	And great multitudes resorted vnto him, so that he went into a ship, and sate downe: and the whole multitude stoode on the shore.
13:3	Then he spake many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sowe.
13:4	And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the foules came and deuoured them vp.
13:5	And some fell vpon stony grounde, where they had not much earth, and anon they sprong vp, because they had no depth of earth.
13:6	And when the sunne was vp, they were parched, and for lacke of rooting, withered away.
13:7	And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprong vp, and choked them.
13:8	Some againe fel in good ground, and brought forth fruite, one corne an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and another thirtie folde.
13:9	He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
13:10	Then the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
13:11	And he answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you, to know the secretes of the kingdome of heauen, but to the it is not giue.
13:12	For whosoeuer hath, to him shalbe giuen, and he shall haue abundance: but whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken away, euen that he hath.
13:13	Therefore speake I to them in parables, because they seeing, doe not see: and hearing, they heare not, neither vnderstand.
13:14	So in them is fulfilled the prophecie of Esaias, which prophecie saieth, By hearing, ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing, ye shall see, and shall not perceiue.
13:15	For this peoples heart is waxed fat, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes they haue winked, lest they should see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and should vnderstand with their hearts, and should returne, that I might heale them.
13:16	But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your eares, for they heare.
13:17	For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which ye see, and haue not seene them, and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.
13:18	Heare ye therefore ye parable of ye sower.
13:19	Whensoeuer any man heareth the woorde of that kingdome, and vnderstandeth it not, that euil one commeth, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: and this is he which hath receiued the seede by the way side.
13:20	And hee that receiued seede in the stonie grounde, is he which heareth the woorde, and incontinently with ioy receiueth it,
13:21	Yet hath he no roote in himselfe, and dureth but a season: for assoone as tribulation or persecution commeth because of the woorde, by and by he is offended.
13:22	And hee that receiued the seede among thornes, is hee that heareth the woorde: but the care of this worlde, and the deceitfulnesse of riches choke the word, and he is made vnfruitfull.
13:23	But he that receiued the seede in the good ground, is he that heareth the worde, and vnderstandeth it, which also beareth fruite, and bringeth foorth, some an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and some thirtie folde.
13:24	Another parable put hee foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a man which sowed good seede in his fielde.
13:25	But while men slept, there came his enemie, and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his waie.
13:26	And when the blade was sprong vp, and brought forth fruite, then appeared the tares also.
13:27	Then came the seruaunts of the housholder, and sayd vnto him, Master, sowedst not thou good seede in thy fielde? from whence then hath it tares?
13:28	And hee said to them, Some enuious man hath done this. Then the seruants saide vnto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them vp?
13:29	But he saide, Nay, lest while yee goe about to gather the tares, yee plucke vp also with them the wheat.
13:30	Let both growe together vntill the haruest, and in time of haruest I will say to the reapers, Gather yee first the tares, and binde them in sheaues to burne them: but gather the wheate into my barne.
13:31	Another parable he put foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a graine of mustard seede, which a man taketh and soweth in his fielde:
13:32	Which in deede is the least of all seedes: but when it is growen, it is the greatest among herbes, and it is a tree, so that the birdes of heauen come and builde in the branches thereof.
13:33	Another parable spake hee to them, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto leauen, which a woman taketh and hideth in three pecks of meale, till all be leauened.
13:34	All these thinges spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without parables spake he not to them,
13:35	That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, and will vtter the thinges which haue beene kept secrete from the foundation of the worlde.
13:36	Then sent Iesus the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came vnto him, saying, Declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of that fielde.
13:37	Then answered he, and saide to them, He that soweth the good seede, is the Sonne of man.
13:38	And the field is the worlde, and the good seede are the children of the kingdome, and the tares are the children of that wicked one.
13:39	And the enemie that soweth them, is the deuill, and the haruest is the end of the worlde, and the reapers be the Angels.
13:40	As then the tares are gathered and burned in ye fire, so shall it be in the end of this world.
13:41	The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie,
13:42	And shall cast them into a fornace of fire. There shalbe wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:43	Then shall the iust men shine as ye sunne in the kingdome of their Father. Hee that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
13:44	Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a treasure hid in ye field, which when a man hath found, he hideth it, and for ioy thereof departeth and selleth all that he hath, and buieth that field.
13:45	Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like to a marchant man, that seeketh good pearles,
13:46	Who hauing found a pearle of great price, went and solde all that he had, and bought it.
13:47	Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a drawe net cast into the sea, that gathereth of all kindes of things.
13:48	Which, when it is full, men draw to lande, and sit and gather the good into vessels, and cast the bad away.
13:49	So shall it be at the end of the world. The Angels shall goe foorth, and seuer the bad from among the iust,
13:50	And shall cast them into a fornace of fire: there shalbe wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
13:51	Iesus saide vnto them, Vnderstand yee all these things? They saide vnto him, Yea, Lord.
13:52	Then sayd hee vnto them, Therefore euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kingdome of heauen, is like vnto an householder, which bringeth foorth out of his treasure things both newe and olde.
13:53	And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence,
13:54	And came into his owne countrey, and taught them in their Synagogue, so that they were astonied, and saide, Whence commeth this wisdome and great woorkes vnto this man?
13:55	Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie, and his brethren Iames and Ioses, and Simon and Iudas?
13:56	And are not his sisters all with vs? Whence then hath he all these things?
13:57	And they were offended with him. Then Iesus said to them, A Prophet is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house.
13:58	And he did not many great woorkes there, for their vnbeliefes sake.


13:1	The same daye wet Iesus out of ye house and sat by the seesyde
13:2	and moch people resorted vnto him so gretly yt he wet and sat in a shippe and all the people stode on ye shoore.
13:3	And he spake many thynges to the in similitudes sayinge: Beholde ye sower wet forth to sowe.
13:4	And as he sowed some fell by ye wayessyde and the fowlles came and devoured it vp.
13:5	Some fell apo stony groude where it had not moche erth and a none it sproge vp because it had no depth of erth:
13:6	and when ye sunne was vp it cauht heet and for lake of rotynge wyddred awaye.
13:7	Some fell amoge thornes and the thornes sproge vp and chooked it.
13:8	Parte fell in good groud and brought forth good frute: some an hudred fold some sixtie fold some thyrty folde.
13:9	Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
13:10	And the disciples came and sayde to him: Why speakest thou to the in parables?
13:11	He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geve vnto you to knowe ye secretes of the kyngdome of heve but to the it is not geve.
13:12	For whosoever hath to him shall be geven: and he shall have aboundance. But whosoever hath not: fro hym shalbe takyn awaye even that he hath.
13:13	Therfore speake I to them in similitudes: for though they se they se not: and hearinge they heare not: nether vnderstonde.
13:14	And in the is fulfilled ye Prophesie of Esayas which prophesie sayth: with the eares ye shall heare and shall not vnderstonde and with the eyes ye shall se and shall not perceave.
13:15	For this peoples hertes are wexed grosse and their eares were dull of herynge and their eyes have they closed lest they shulde se with their eyes and heare with their eares and shuld vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld tourne that I myght heale them.
13:16	But blessed are youre eyes for they se: and youre eares for they heare.
13:17	Verely I say vnto you that many Prophetes and perfaicte me have desired to se tho thinges which ye se and have not sene the: and to heare tho thinges which ye heare and have not herde the.
13:18	Heare ye therfore ye similitude of the sower.
13:19	Whosoever heareth the worde of ye kingdome and vnderstondeth it not ther cometh the evyll ma and catcheth awaye yt which was sowne in his hert. And this is he which was sowne by the wayesyde.
13:20	But he yt was sowne in ye stony groude is he which heareth the worde of God and anone wt ioye receaveth it
13:21	yet hath he no rottes in him selfe and therfore dureth but a season: for assone as tribulacion or persecucion aryseth because of the worde by and by he falleth.
13:22	He yt was sowne amoge thornes is he yt heareth ye worde of God: but the care of this worlde and the dissaytfulnes of ryches choke ye worde and so is he made vnfrutfull.
13:23	He which is sowne in ye good grounde is he yt heareth ye worde and vnderstodeth it which also bereth frute and bringeth forth some an.C. folde some sixtie folde and some .xxx. folde.
13:24	Another similitude put he forth vnto the sayinge: The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a man which sowed good seed in his felde.
13:25	But whyll men slepte ther came his foo and sowed tares amoge ye wheate and wet his waye.
13:26	When ye blade was sproge vp and had brought forth frute the appered ye tares also.
13:27	The servauntes came to the housholder and sayde vnto him: Syr sowedest not thou good seed in thy closse fro whece the hath it tares?
13:28	He sayde to the the envious ma hath done this. Then ye servauntes sayde vnto him: wilt thou then yt we go and gader them?
13:29	But he sayde nay lest whill ye go aboute to wede out ye tares ye plucke vppe also wt them ye wheate by ye rottes:
13:30	let bothe growe to gether tyll harvest come and in tyme of harvest I wyll saye to the repers gather ye fyrst ye tares and bind the in sheves to be bret: but gather the wheete into my barne.
13:31	Another parable he put forthe vnto the sayinge. The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a grayne of mustard seed which a ma taketh and soweth in his felde
13:32	which is ye leest of all seedes. But when it is groune it is the greatest amoge yerbes and it is a tree: so yt the bryddes of the ayer come and bylde in the brauches of it.
13:33	Another similitude sayde he to them. The kyngdome of heven is lyke vnto leve which a woman taketh and hydeth in .iii. peckes of meele tyll all be levended.
13:34	All these thynge spake Iesus vnto the people by similitudes and with oute similitudes spake he nothinge to them
13:35	to fulfyll that which was spoke by the Prophet sayinge: I wyll ope my mouth in similitudes and wyll speake forth thinges which have bene kepte secrete from the begynninge of the worlde.
13:36	Then sent Iesus ye people awaye and came to housse. And his disciples came vnto him sayinge: declare vnto vs the similitude of the tares of the felde.
13:37	Then answered he and sayde to them. He that soweth the good seed is the sonne of man.
13:38	And ye felde is the worlde. And the chyldre of the kingdome they are ye good seed. And the tares are the chyldren of ye wicked.
13:39	And the enemye that soweth the is ye devell. The harvest is ye end of the worlde. And the repers be ye angels.
13:40	For eve as the tares are gaddred and bret in ye fyre: so shall it be in ye ende of this worlde.
13:41	The sonne of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kyngdome all thinges that offende and them which do iniquite
13:42	and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre. There shalbe waylynge and gnasshing of teth.
13:43	Then shall the iuste men shyne as bryght as the sunne in ye kyngdome of their father. Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
13:44	Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto treasure hidde in the felde ye which a man fyndeth and hideth: and for ioy therof goeth and selleth all that he hath and byeth that felde.
13:45	Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a marchaunt that seketh good pearles
13:46	which when he had founde one precious pearle wet and solde all that he had and bought it.
13:47	Agayne the kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a neet cast into ye see yt gadereth of all kyndes of fysshes:
13:48	which whe it is full men drawe to londe and sitte and gadre the good into vessels and cast the bad awaye.
13:49	So shall it be at the ende of the worlde. The angels shall come oute and sever the bad from the good
13:50	and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre: there shalbe waylinge and gnasshynge of teth.
13:51	Iesus sayde vnto them: vnderstonde ye all these thynges? They sayde ye Lorde.
13:52	The sayde he vnto them: Therfore every scribe which is taught vnto the kyngdome of heve is lyke an housholder which bryngeth forth out of hys treasure thynges bothe new and olde.
13:53	And it came to passe when Iesus had finisshed these similitudes yt he departed thece
13:54	and came in to his awne coutre and taught them in their synagoges in so moche yt they were astonyed and sayde: whece cometh all this wysdome and power vnto him?
13:55	Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre be called Iames and Ioses and Simo and Iudas?
13:56	And are not his susters all here wt vs? Whece hath he all these thynge.
13:57	And they were offended by him. The Iesus sayd to the a Prophet is not wt out honoure save in hys awne countre and amoge his awne kynne.
13:58	And he dyd not many miracles there for there vnbelefes sake.
