Matthew 13:1-15

1On that dayG2250 wentG1831 JesusG2424 out of the houseG3614, and satG2521 by the seaG2281 side. 2And there were gatheredG4863 unto him greatG4183 multitudesG3793, so that he entered into a boatG4143, and satG2521; and all the multitudeG3793 stoodG2476 on the beach. 3And he spake to them manyG4183 thingsG4183 in parablesG3850, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the sower wentG1831 forthG1831 to sowG4687; 4and as he sowedG4687, some seeds fellG4098 by the wayG3598 side, and the birdsG4071 cameG2064 and devouredG2719 them: 5and othersG243 fellG4098 upon the rockyG4075 places, whereG3699 they had not muchG4183 earthG1093: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earthG1093: 6and when the sunG2246 was risen, they were scorchedG2739; and because they had no rootG4491, they witheredG3583 awayG3583. 7And othersG243 fellG4098 upon the thornsG173; and the thornsG173 grew up and choked them: 8and othersG243 fellG4098 upon the goodG2570 groundG1093, and yielded fruitG2590, some a hundredfoldG1540, some sixtyG1835, some thirtyG5144. 9He that hath earsG3775, let him hearG191.

10And the disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and saidG3004 unto him, WhyG5101 speakest thou unto them in parablesG3850? 11And he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, Unto you it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, but to them it is not givenG1325. 12For whosoever hath, to him shall be givenG1325, and he shall have abundanceG4052: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be takenG142 awayG142 evenG2532 that which he hath. 13Therefore speakG2980 I to them in parablesG3850; because seeingG991 they seeG991 not, and hearingG191 they hearG191 not, neither do they understandG4920. 14And unto them is fulfilled the prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268, which saith,

By hearingG191 ye shall hearG191, and shall in no wise understandG4920;And seeingG3708 ye shall seeG3708, and shall in no wise perceive:15For this people’s heartG2588 is waxed gross,And their earsG3775 are dullG3975 of hearingG191,And their eyesG3788 they have closed;Lest haply they should perceive with their eyesG3788,And hearG191 with their earsG3775,And understandG4920 with their heartG2588,And should turnG1994 again,And I should healG2390 them.
