The Gospel of Jesus Christ - MATTHEW 13
MATTHEW
13
CHAPTER XIII.
The parables of the sower of the cockle: of the
mustard seed, &c.
1
The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea-side.
2
*And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat
and sat: and all the multitudes stood on the shore.
3
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went
forth to sow;
4
And whilst he soweth, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came
and ate them up.
5
And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they
sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.
6
And when the sun was up, they were scorched: and because they had not root,
they withered away.
7
And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choaked them.
8
And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some a
hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, and some thirty-fold.
9
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10
And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11
He answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.
12
*For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound, but he that hath
not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
13
Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and
hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14
And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: *By hearing you
shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not
perceive.
15
For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been
dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should
see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart,
and be converted, and I should heal them.
16
But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
17
*For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the
things that you see, and have not seen them: and to hear the things that you
hear, and have not heard them.
18
Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.
19
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there
cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this
is he that received the seed by the way side.
20
And he who received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word,
and immediately receiveth it with joy.
21
Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth
tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.
22
And he who received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the
care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choak up the word, and he
becometh fruitless.
23
But he who received the seed into good ground, is he that heareth the word, and
understandeth and beareth fruit, and yieldeth one a hundred-fold, and another
sixty, and another thirty.
24
*Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened
to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.
25
But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat,
and went his way.
26
And when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared also
the cockle.
27
Then the servants of the master of the house came and said to him: Master, didst
thou not sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it cockle?
28
And he said to them: An enemy hath done this.
And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?
29
And he said: No, lest perhaps while ye gather up the cockle, you root up the
wheat also together with it.
30
Let both grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to
the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but
gather the wheat into my barn.
31
*Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to
a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
32
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown up, it is greater
than any herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and
dwell in the branches thereof.
33
Another parable he spoke to them: *The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven,
which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was
leavened.
34
All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without
parables he did not speak to them.
35
That the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: *I
will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation
of the world.
36 *Then
having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came
to him, saying: Explain to us the parable of the cockle in the field.
37
He made answer, and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of
man.
38
And the field is the world. And the good
seed are the children of the kingdom.
And the cockle are the children of the wicked one.
39
And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil.
*But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.
40
Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire, so shall it be at
the end of the world.
41
The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom
all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
42
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
43
*Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field: which, when a man
hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath,
and buyeth that field.
45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
46
Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that
he had, and bought it.
47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering
together of all kind of fishes.
48
Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore they chose
out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
49
So shall it be at the end of the world, the angels shall go out, and shall
separate the wicked from among the just.
50
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
51
Have ye understood all these things?
They say to him: Yea.
52
He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven,
is like to a master of a house, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new
things and old.
53
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from
thence.
54
*And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogues, so that
they wondered, and said: How came this man by this wisdom, and miracles?
55
*Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not
his mother called Mary; and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and
Jude?
56
And his sisters, are they not all with us?
Whence then hath he all these things?
57
And they were scandalized in his regard.
But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own
country, and in his own house.
58
And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
