Matthew 13:15-24

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.

16But blessed are your eyesG3788, for they seeG991; and your earsG3775, for they hearG191. 17For verily I sayG3004 unto you, that manyG4183 prophetsG4396 and righteousG1342 menG1342 desiredG1937 to seeG3708 the thingsG4183 which ye seeG3708, and sawG3708 them not; and to hearG191 the thingsG4183 which ye hearG191, and heardG191 them not. 18HearG191 thenG3767 ye the parableG3850 of the sower. 19When any oneG3778 heareth the wordG3056 of the kingdomG932, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evilG4190 oneG3778, and snatcheth awayG726 that which hath beenG1510 sownG4687 in his heartG2588. This isG1510 he that wasG1510 sownG4687 by the wayG3598 side. 20And he that wasG1510 sownG4687 upon the rockyG4075 places, this isG1510 he that heareth the wordG3056, and straightway with joyG5479 receiveth it; 21yet hath he not rootG4491 in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulationG2347 or persecutionG1375 ariseth because of the wordG3056, straightway he stumbleth. 22And he that wasG1510 sownG4687 among the thornsG173, this isG1510 he that heareth the wordG3056; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and he becometh unfruitfulG175. 23And he that wasG1510 sownG4687 upon the goodG2570 groundG1093, this isG1510 he that heareth the wordG3056, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruitG2592, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfoldG1540, some sixtyG1835, some thirtyG5144.

24Another parableG3850 setG3908 he before them, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is likened unto a manG444 that sowedG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 in his fieldG68:
