| 13:1 | And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house, was sitting by the sea, |
| 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, |
| 13:3 | and he spake to them many things in similes, saying: `Lo, the sower went forth to sow, |
| 13:4 | and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the fowls did come and devour them, |
| 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, |
| 13:6 | and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered, |
| 13:7 | and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up and choke them, |
| 13:8 | and others fell upon the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty. |
| 13:9 | He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.' |
| 13:10 | And the disciples having come near, said to him, `Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?' |
| 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, |
| 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. |
| 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, |
| 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, |
| 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. |
| 13:16 | `And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear, |
| 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. |
| 13:18 | `Ye, therefore, hear ye the simile of the sower: |
| 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. |
| 13:20 | `And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it, |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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.' |
| 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, |
| 13:25 | and, while men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away, |
| 13:26 | and when the herb sprang up, and yielded fruit, then appeared also the darnel. |
| 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? |
| 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? |
| 13:29 | `And he said, No, lest -- gathering up the darnel -- ye root up with it the wheat, |
| 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.' |
| 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, |
| 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.' |
| 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.' |
| 13:34 | All these things spake Jesus in similes to the multitudes, and without a simile he was not speaking to them, |
| 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.' |
| 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.' |
| 13:37 | And he answering said to them, `He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man, |
| 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, |
| 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. |
| 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, |
| 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, |
| 13:42 | and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 13:45 | `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking goodly pearls, |
| 13:46 | who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it. |
| 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, |
| 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, |
| 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, |
| 13:50 | and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.' |
| 13:51 | Jesus saith to them, `Did ye understand all these?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.' |
| 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.' |
| 13:53 | And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these similes, he removed thence, |
| 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? |
| 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, to this one all these?' |
| 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:' |
| 13:58 | and he did not there many mighty works, because of their unbelief. |
| 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. |
| 13:1 | The same daye wente Iesus out of ye house, and sat by the see syde, |
| 13:2 | & moch people resorted vnto him: so yt he wete in to a shyppe and satt him downe, and all the people stode vpo the shore. |
| 13:3 | And he spake many thinges vnto the in symilitudes, sayenge: Beholde, The sower wente forth to sowe: |
| 13:4 | and as he sowed, some fell by the waye syde: Then came the foules, & ate it vp. |
| 13:5 | Some fell vpon stony grounde, & anone it spronge vp, because it had no depth of earth: |
| 13:6 | But whan the Sonne arose, it caught heate: and for so moch as it had no rote, it withred awaye. |
| 13:7 | Some fell amoge the thornes, & the thornes grewe vp, and choked it. |
| 13:8 | Some fell vpo good groude, & gaue frute: some an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, some thirtie folde. |
| 13:9 | Who so hath eares to heare, let hi heare. |
| 13:10 | And the disciples came vnto him, and sayde: Why speakest thou to the by parables? |
| 13:11 | He answered and sayde vnto the: Vnto you it is geuen to knowe the mystery of the kingdome of heauen, but vnto them it is not geuen. |
| 13:12 | For whoso hath, vnto him shal be geue, and he shal haue abundaunce. But who so hath not, from him shalbe taken awaye, eue that he hath. |
| 13:13 | Therfore speake I vnto the by parables, for with seynge eyes they se not, & with hearinge eares they heare not, for they vnderstonde it not. |
| 13:14 | And in them is fulfilled ye prophecie of Esay, which sayeth: Ye shal heare in dede, and shal not vnderstonde: and with seinge eyes shal ye se, and not perceaue. |
| 13:15 | For ye hert of this people is waxed grosse, & their eares are thick of hearige, & their eyes haue they closed, lest they shulde once se wt ye eyes, & heare wt the eares, & vnderstode wt the hert, & turne, that I might heale them. |
| 13:16 | But blessed are youre eyes, for they se: & youre eares, for they heare. |
| 13:17 | Verely I saye vnto you: Many prophetes & righteous men haue desyred to se ye thinges that ye se, and haue not sene the: and to heare the thinges that ye heare, and haue not herde the. |
| 13:18 | Heare ye therfore the parable of the sower. |
| 13:19 | Whan one heareth ye worde of the kyngdome, and vnderstondeth it not, the euell man cometh, and plucketh it awaye that is sowne in his hert: & this is he yt is sowne by the waye syde. |
| 13:20 | But he yt is sowne in the stonye grounde, is this: wha one heareth the worde, & anone with ioye receaueth it: |
| 13:21 | neuertheles he hath no rote i him, but endureth for a season: wha trouble & persecucion aryseth because of the worde, immediatly he his offended. |
| 13:22 | As for him that is sowne amonge ye thornes, this is he: Wha one heareth the worde, & the carefulnes of this worlde, & the disceatfulnes of riches choke the worde, & so he becometh vnfrutefull. |
| 13:23 | But he yt is sowne in the good grounde, is this: whan one heareth the worde, and vnderstondeth it, and bringeth forth frute: and some geueth an hudreth folde, some sixtie folde, and some thirtie folde. |
| 13:24 | Another parable put he forth vnto the, & sayde: The kyngdome of heaue is like vnto a man, yt sowed good sede in his felde. |
| 13:25 | But whyle me slepte, there came an enemye, and sowed tares amonge ye wheate, & wente his waye. |
| 13:26 | Now wha the blade was sproge vp & brought forth frute, the ye tares appeared also. |
| 13:27 | Then came the seruautes to ye housholder, & sayde vnto him: Syr, sowdest not thou good sede in yi felde? Fro whece the hath it tares? |
| 13:28 | He sayde vnto the: that hath the enemye done. The sayde ye seruautes: wilt thou then yt we go & wede the out? |
| 13:29 | He sayde: No, lest whyle ye wede out ye tares, ye plucke vp the wheate also wt the. |
| 13:30 | Let the both growe together tyll the haruest, and in tyme of haruest I wil saye vnto the reapers: Gather ye tares first, & bynde the in sheeues to be bret: but gather the wheate in to my barne. |
| 13:31 | Another parable put he forth vnto the, and sayde: The kyngdome of heauen is like vnto a grane of mustarde sede, which a man toke, and sowed it in his felde. |
| 13:32 | Which is the leest amonge all sedes. But whan it is growne, it is the greatest amonge herbes, and is a tre: so that the byrdes vnder the heauen come and dwell in the braunches of it. |
| 13:33 | Another parable spake he vnto the: The kyngdome of heaue is like vnto leue, which a woman toke, and myxte it amonge thre peckes of meele, tyll all was leuended. |
| 13:34 | All soch thinges spake Iesus vnto ye people by parables, & without parables spake he nothinge vnto the: |
| 13:35 | yt the thinge might be fulfilled, which was spoke by ye prophet, sayenge: I wil open my mouth in parables, and wil speake out the secretes from the begynnynge of the worlde. |
| 13:36 | Then sent Iesus the people awaye, and came home. And his disciples came vnto hi, and sayde: Declare vnto us ye parable of ye tares of ye felde. |
| 13:37 | Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: He that soweth the good sede, is the sonne of man: |
| 13:38 | the felde is the worlde: ye good sede are the childre of the kyngdome: The tares are the children of wickednes: |
| 13:39 | ye enemye that soweth the, is the deuell: ye haruest is the ende of the worlde: ye reapers are ye angels. |
| 13:40 | For like as ye tares are weded out, and brent in the fyre, eue so shal it go in ye ende of this worlde. |
| 13:41 | The sonne of man shal sende forth his angels, & they shal gather out of his kingdome all thinges yt offende, & the yt do iniquyte, |
| 13:42 | & shal cast the in to a fornace of fyre, there shalbe waylinge and gnasshinge of teth. |
| 13:43 | The shal the righteous shyne as the Sonne, in the kyngdome of their father. Who so hath eares to heare, let him heare. |
| 13:44 | Agayne, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a treasure hyd in the felde, which a ma founde and hid it, and for ioye therof he wete & solde all yt he had, and bought yt felde. |
| 13:45 | Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is like vnto a marchaut, yt sought good pearles: |
| 13:46 | & wha he had founde a precious pearle, he wete and solde all that he had, & bought it. |
| 13:47 | Agayne, ye kyngdome of heaue is like vnto a nett cast in to ye see, wherwith are take all maner of fyshes: |
| 13:48 | & wha it is ful, me drawe it out vnto ye shore, & sytt & gather ye good i to the vessels, but cast the bad awaye. |
| 13:49 | So shal it be also in ye ende of ye worlde. The angels shal go out, & seuer the bad fro the righteous, |
| 13:50 | & shal cast the in to a fornace of fyre, there shalbe waylinge & gnasshinge of teth. |
| 13:51 | And Iesus sayde vnto them: Haue ye vnderstode all these thinges? They sayde: Yee LORDE. |
| 13:52 | Then sayde he vnto the: Therfore euery scribe taught vnto ye kingdome of heauen, is like an houssholder, which bryngeth out of his treasure thinges new and olde. |
| 13:53 | And it came to passe wha Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence, |
| 13:54 | and came in to his owne coutre, and taught the in their synagoges: in so moch, that they were astonnyed and sayde: Whece cometh soch wyssdome & power vnto him? |
| 13:55 | Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre Iames & Ioses, and Symon and Iude? |
| 13:56 | And are not all his sisters here with us? Whence hath he the all these thinges? |
| 13:57 | And they were offended at him. But Iesus sayde vnto the: A prophet is nowhere lesse sett by, the at home & amonge his owne. |
| 13:58 | And he dyd not many miracles there, because of their vnbeleue. |
