Matthew 13:3-33

13:3

And
<2532>

he spake
<2980> (5656)

many things
<4183>

unto them
<846>

in
<1722>

parables
<3850>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Behold
<2400> (5628)_,

a sower
<4687> (5723)

went forth
<1831> (5627)

to sow
<4687> (5721)_;

13:4

And
<2532>

when
<1722>

he
<846>

sowed
<4687> (5721)_,

some
<3739> <3303>

[seeds] fell
<4098> (5627)

by
<3844>

the way side
<3598>_,

and
<2532>

the fowls
<4071>

came
<2064> (5627)

and
<2532>

devoured
<2719> (0)

them
<846>

up
<2719> (5627)_:

13:5

Some
<1161> <243>

fell
<4098> (5627)

upon
<1909>

stony places
<4075>_,

where
<3699>

they had
<2192> (5707)

not
<3756>

much
<4183>

earth
<1093>_:

and
<2532>

forthwith
<2112>

they sprung up
<1816> (5656)_,

because
<1223>

they had
<2192> (5721)

no
<3361>

deepness
<899>

of earth
<1093>_:

13:6

And
<1161>

when the sun
<2246>

was up
<393> (5660)_,

they were scorched
<2739> (5681)_;

and
<2532>

because
<1223>

they had
<2192> (5721)

no
<3361>

root
<4491>_,

they withered away
<3583> (5681)_.

13:7

And
<1161>

some
<243>

fell
<4098> (5627)

among
<1909>

thorns
<173>_;

and
<2532>

the thorns
<173>

sprung up
<305> (5627)_,

and
<2532>

choked
<638> (5656)

them
<846>_:

13:8

But
<1161>

other
<243>

fell
<4098> (5627)

into
<1909>

good
<2570>

ground
<1093>_,

and
<2532>

brought forth
<1325> (5707)

fruit
<2590>_,

some
<3739> <3303>

an hundredfold
<1540>_,

<1161>

some
<3739>

sixtyfold
<1835>_,

<1161>

some
<3739>

thirtyfold
<5144>_.

13:9

Who
<3588>

hath
<2192> (5723)

ears
<3775>

to hear
<191> (5721)_,

let him hear
<191> (5720)_.

13:10

And
<2532>

the disciples
<3101>

came
<4334> (5631)_,

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Why
<1302>

speakest thou
<2980> (5719)

unto them
<846>

in
<1722>

parables
<3850>_?

13:11

He answered
<611> (5679)

and
<1161>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<846>_,

Because
<3754>

it is given
<1325> (5769)

unto you
<5213>

to know
<1097> (5629)

the mysteries
<3466>

of the kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>_,

but
<1161>

to them
<1565>

it is
<1325> (0)

not
<3756>

given
<1325> (5769)_.

13:12

For
<1063>

whosoever
<3748>

hath
<2192> (5719)_,

to him
<846>

shall be given
<1325> (5701)_,

and
<2532>

he shall have more abundance
<4052> (5701)_:

but
<1161>

whosoever
<3748>

hath
<2192> (5719)

not
<3756>_,

from
<575>

him
<846>

shall be taken away
<142> (5701)

even
<2532>

that
<3739>

he hath
<2192> (5719)_.

13:13

Therefore
<1223> <5124>

speak I
<2980> (5719)

to them
<846>

in
<1722>

parables
<3850>_:

because
<3754>

they seeing
<991> (5723)

see
<991> (5719)

not
<3756>_;

and
<2532>

hearing
<191> (5723)

they hear
<191> (5719)

not
<3756>_,

neither
<3761>

do they understand
<4920> (5719)_.

13:14

And
<2532>

in
<1909>

them
<846>

is fulfilled
<378> (5743)

the prophecy
<4394>

of Esaias
<2268>_,

which
<3588>

saith
<3004> (5723)_,

By hearing
<189>

ye shall hear
<191> (5692)_,

and
<2532>

shall
<4920> (0)

not
<3364>

understand
<4920> (5655)_;

and
<2532>

seeing
<991> (5723)

ye shall see
<991> (5692)_,

and
<2532>

shall
<1492> (0)

not
<3364>

perceive
<1492> (5632)_:

13:15

For
<1063>

this
<5127>

people's
<2992>

heart
<2588>

is waxed gross
<3975> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

[their] ears
<3775>

are dull
<917>

of hearing
<191> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

their
<846>

eyes
<3788>

they have closed
<2576> (5656)_;

lest at any time
<3379>

they should see
<1492> (5632)

with [their] eyes
<3788>_,

and
<2532>

hear
<191> (5661)

with [their] ears
<3775>_,

and
<2532>

should understand
<4920> (5632)

with [their] heart
<2588>_,

and
<2532>

should be converted
<1994> (5661)_,

and
<2532>

I should heal
<2390> (5667)

them
<846>_.

13:16

But
<1161>

blessed
<3107>

[are] your
<5216>

eyes
<3788>_,

for
<3754>

they see
<991> (5719)_:

and
<2532>

your
<5216>

ears
<3775>_,

for
<3754>

they hear
<191> (5719)_.

13:17

For
<1063>

verily
<281>

I say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>_,

That
<3754>

many
<4183>

prophets
<4396>

and
<2532>

righteous
<1342>

[men] have desired
<1937> (5656)

to see
<1492> (5629)

[those things] which
<3739>

ye see
<991> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

have
<1492> (0)

not
<3756>

seen
<1492> (5627)

[them]; and
<2532>

to hear
<191> (5658)

[those things] which
<3739>

ye hear
<191> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

have
<191> (0)

not
<3756>

heard
<191> (5656)

[them].

13:18

Hear
<191> (5657)

ye
<5210>

therefore
<3767>

the parable
<3850>

of the sower
<4687> (5723)_.

13:19

When any
<3956>

one heareth
<191> (5723)

the word
<3056>

of the kingdom
<932>_,

and
<2532>

understandeth
<4920> (5723)

[it] not
<3361>_,

then cometh
<2064> (5736)

the wicked
<4190>

[one], and
<2532>

catcheth away
<726> (5719)

that which
<3588>

was sown
<4687> (5772)

in
<1722>

his
<846>

heart
<2588>_.

This
<3778>

is
<2076> (5748)

he which received seed
<4687> (5651)

by
<3844>

the way side
<3598>_.

13:20

But
<1161>

he that received the seed
<4687> (5651)

into
<1909>

stony places
<4075>_,

the same
<3778>

is
<2076> (5748)

he that heareth
<191> (5723)

the word
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

anon
<2117>

with
<3326>

joy
<5479>

receiveth
<2983> (5723)

it
<846>_;

13:21

Yet
<1161>

hath he
<2192> (5719)

not
<3756>

root
<4491>

in
<1722>

himself
<1438>_,

but
<235>

dureth
<2076> (5748)

for a while
<4340>_:

for
<1161>

when tribulation
<2347>

or
<2228>

persecution
<1375>

ariseth
<1096> (5637)

because
<1223>

of the word
<3056>_,

by and by
<2117>

he is offended
<4624> (5743)_.

{offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin}

13:22

He also
<1161>

that received seed
<4687> (5651)

among
<1519>

the thorns
<173>

is
<2076> (5748)

he that
<3778>

heareth
<191> (5723)

the word
<3056>_;

and
<2532>

the care
<3308>

of this
<5127>

world
<165>_,

and
<2532>

the deceitfulness
<539>

of riches
<4149>_,

choke
<4846> (5719)

the word
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

he becometh
<1096> (5736)

unfruitful
<175>_.

13:23

But
<1161>

he that received seed
<4687> (5651)

into
<1909>

the good
<2570>

ground
<1093>

is
<2076> (5748)

he
<3778>

that heareth
<191> (5723)

the word
<3056>_,

and
<2532>

understandeth
<4920> (5723)

[it]; which
<3739>

also
<1211>

beareth fruit
<2592> (5719)_,

and
<2532>

bringeth forth
<4160> (5719)_,

some
<3739> <3303>

an hundredfold
<1540>_,

<1161>

some
<3739>

sixty
<1835>_,

<1161>

some
<3739>

thirty
<5144>_.

13:24

Another
<243>

parable
<3850>

put he forth
<3908> (5656)

unto them
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

The kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>

is likened
<3666> (5681)

unto a man
<444>

which sowed
<4687> (5723) (5625) <4687> (5660)

good
<2570>

seed
<4690>

in
<1722>

his
<846>

field
<68>_:

13:25

But
<1161>

while
<1722>

men
<444>

slept
<2518> (5721)_,

his
<846>

enemy
<2190>

came
<2064> (5627)

and
<2532>

sowed
<4687> (5656)

tares
<2215>

among
<303> <3319>

the wheat
<4621>_,

and
<2532>

went his way
<565> (5627)_.

13:26

But
<1161>

when
<3753>

the blade
<5528>

was sprung up
<985> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

brought forth
<4160> (5656)

fruit
<2590>_,

then
<5119>

appeared
<5316> (5648)

the tares
<2215>

also
<2532>_.

13:27

So
<1161>

the servants
<1401>

of the householder
<3617>

came
<4334> (5631)

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Sir
<2962>_,

didst
<4687> (0)

not
<3780>

thou sow
<4687> (5656)

good
<2570>

seed
<4690>

in
<1722>

thy
<4674>

field
<68>_?

from whence
<4159>

then
<3767>

hath it
<2192> (5719)

tares
<2215>_?

13:28

<1161>@ He said
<5346> (5713)

unto them
<846>_,

An enemy
<2190> <444>

hath done
<4160> (5656)

this
<5124>_.

<1161>

The servants
<1401>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

Wilt thou
<2309> (5719)

then
<3767>

that we go
<565> (5631)

and gather
<4816> (0)

them
<846>

up
<4816> (5661)_?

13:29

But
<1161>

he said
<5346> (5713)_,

Nay
<3756>_;

lest
<3379>

while ye gather up
<4816> (5723)

the tares
<2215>_,

ye root up
<1610> (5661)

also the wheat
<4621>

with
<260>

them
<846>_.

13:30

Let
<863> (5628)

both
<297>

grow together
<4885> (5745)

until
<3360>

the harvest
<2326>_:

and
<2532>

in
<1722>

the time
<2540>

of harvest
<2326>

I will say
<2046> (5692)

to the reapers
<2327>_,

Gather ye together
<4816> (5657)

first
<4412>

the tares
<2215>_,

and
<2532>

bind
<1210> (5657)

them
<846>

in
<1519>

bundles
<1197>

to
<4314>

burn
<2618> (5658)

them
<846>_:

but
<1161>

gather
<4863> (5628)

the wheat
<4621>

into
<1519>

my
<3450>

barn
<596>_.

13:31

Another
<243>

parable
<3850>

put he forth
<3908> (5656)

unto them
<846>_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

The kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>

is
<2076> (5748)

like
<3664>

to a grain
<2848>

of mustard seed
<4615>_,

which
<3739>

a man
<444>

took
<2983> (5631)_,

and sowed
<4687> (5656)

in
<1722>

his
<846>

field
<68>_:

13:32

Which
<3739>

indeed
<3303>

is
<2076> (5748)

the least
<3398>

of all
<3956>

seeds
<4690>_:

but
<1161>

when
<3752>

it is grown
<837> (5686)_,

it is
<2076> (5748)

the greatest
<3187>

among herbs
<3001>_,

and
<2532>

becometh
<1096> (5736)

a tree
<1186>_,

so that
<5620>

the birds
<4071>

of the air
<3772>

come
<2064> (5629)

and
<2532>

lodge
<2681> (5721)

in
<1722>

the branches
<2798>

thereof
<846>_.

13:33

Another
<243>

parable
<3850>

spake he
<2980> (5656)

unto them
<846>_;

The kingdom
<932>

of heaven
<3772>

is
<2076> (5748)

like
<3664>

unto leaven
<2219>_,

which
<3739>

a woman
<1135>

took
<2983> (5631)_,

and hid
<1470> (5656)

in
<1519>

three
<5140>

measures
<4568>

of meal
<224>_,

till
<2193>

the whole
<3650>

was
<3739>

leavened
<2220> (5681)_.

{measures: the word in the Greek is a measure containing about a peck and a half, wanting a little more than a pint}
