CHAP. XIII.
3 The parable of the Sower, and the seed: 18 the exposition of it. 24 The parable of the tares, 31 of the mustardseed, 33 of the leuen, 44 of the hidden treasure, 45 of the pearle, 47 of the drawnet cast into the Sea, 53 And how Christ is contemned of his own countrymen.
1 The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.1
3 And hee spake many things vnto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went foorth to sow.3
4 And when he sowed, some seedes fell by the wayes side, and the foules came, and deuoured them vp.
6 And when the Sunne was vp, they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns: and the thornes sprung vp, & choked them.
9 Who hath eares to heare, let him heare.
10 And the disciples came, and sayd vnto him, Why speakest thou vnto them in parables?
12 For whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen, and he shall haue more abundance: but whosoeuer hath not, from him shall be taken away, euen that hee hath.12
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecie of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand: and seeing yee shall see, and shall not perceiue.14
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your eares, for they heare.
17 For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which yee see, and haue not seene them: and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.17
18 ¶ Heare ye therefore the parable of the sower.
25 But while men slept, his enemy came & sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung vp, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
29 But he said, Nay: lest while yee gather vp the tares, ye root vp also the wheat with them.
31 ¶ Another parable put he foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like to a graine of mustard seed, which a man tooke, and sowed in his field.31
33 ¶ Another parable spake he vnto them, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto leauen, which a woman tooke, and hid in three measures of meale, till the whole was leauened.33
34 All these things spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without a parable spake hee not vnto them:34
35 That it might bee fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I wil vtter things which haue bin kept secret from the foundation of the world.35
37 He answered, and said vnto them, Hee that soweth the good seed, is the sonne of man.
39 The enemie that sowed them, is the deuill. The haruest, is the ende of the world. And the reapers are the Angels.39
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burnt in the fire: so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdome all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie:41
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wayling and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine foorth as the Sunne, in the kingdome of their father. Who hath eares to heare, let him heare.43
45 ¶ Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a marchant man, seeking goodly pearles:
46 Who when hee had found one pearle of great price, he went and solde all that he had, and bought it.
50 And shal cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
51 Iesus saith vnto them, Haue ye vnderstood all these things? They say vnto him, Yea, Lord.
53 ¶ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these parables, hee departed thence.
54 And when hee was come into his owne countrey, he taught them in their Synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisedome, and these mighty works?54
55 Is not this the Carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie? and his brethren, Iames, and Ioses, and Simon, and Iudas?55
56 And his sisters, are they not all with vs? whence then hath this man all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. But Iesus said vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house.57
58 And hee did not many mighty workes there, because of their vnbeliefe.
