Darby Bible

1And that [same] dayG2250 JesusG2424 wentG1831 out from the houseG3614 and satG2521 downG2521 by the seaG2281. 2And greatG4183 crowdsG3793 were gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 to him, so that going on board shipG4143 himself he satG2521 downG2521, and the whole crowdG3793 stoodG2476 on the shore. 3And he spokeG2980 to them manyG4183 thingsG4183 in parablesG3850, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the sower wentG1831 out to sowG4687: 4and as he sowedG4687, some [grains] fellG4098 along the wayG3598, and the birdsG4071 cameG2064 and devouredG2719 them; 5and othersG243 fellG4098 upon the rockyG4075 places whereG3699 they had not muchG4183 earthG1093, and immediatelyG2112 they sprang up out of [the groundG1093] because of not having [any] depthG899 of earthG1093, 6but when the sunG2246 rose they were burned up, and because of not having [any] rootG4491 were dried up; 7and othersG243 fellG4098 upon the thornsG173, and the thornsG173 grew up and choked them; 8and othersG243 fellG4098 upon the goodG2570 groundG1093, and produced fruitG2590, oneG3739 a hundredG1540, oneG3739 sixtyG1835, and oneG3739 thirtyG5144. 9He that has earsG3775, let him hearG191. 10And the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 up and saidG3004 to him, WhyG5101 speakest thou to them in parablesG3850? 11And he answeringG611 saidG3004 to them, Because to you it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772, but to them it is not givenG1325; 12for whoever has, to him shall be givenG1325, and he shall be caused to be in abundanceG4052; but he who has not, evenG2532 what he has shall be takenG142 awayG142 from him. 13For this cause I speakG2980 to them in parablesG3850, because seeingG991 they do not seeG991, and hearingG191 they do not hearG191 nor understandG4920; 14and in them is filled up the prophecyG4394 of Esaias, which saysG3004, HearingG191 ye shall hearG191 and shall not understandG4920, and beholding ye shall behold and not seeG3708; 15for the heartG2588 of this peopleG2992 has grown fat, and they have heardG191 heavily with their earsG3775, and they have closed their eyesG3788 as asleep, lest they should seeG3708 with the eyesG3788, and hearG191 with the earsG3775, and understandG4920 with the heartG2588, and should be converted, and I should healG2390 them. 16But blessed are your eyesG3788 because they seeG991, and your earsG3775 because they hearG191; 17for verily I sayG3004 unto you, that manyG4183 prophetsG4396 and righteousG1342 [menG1342] have desiredG1937 to seeG3708 the thingsG4183 which ye behold and did not seeG3708 [them], and to hearG191 the thingsG4183 which ye hearG191 and did not hearG191 [them]. 18Ye, thereforeG3767, hearG191 the parableG3850 of the sower. 19From every oneG3778 who hearsG191 the wordG3056 of the kingdomG932 and does not understandG4920 [it], the wickedG4190 oneG3778 comesG2064 and catches awayG726 what wasG1510 sownG4687 in his heartG2588: this isG1510 he that isG1510 sownG4687 by the wayside. 20But he that isG1510 sownG4687 on the rockyG4075 places — this isG1510 he who hearsG191 the wordG3056 and immediately receivesG2983 it with joyG5479, 21but has no rootG4491 in himself, but isG1510 for a time only; and when tribulationG2347 or persecutionG1375 happensG1096 on accountG3056 of the wordG3056, he isG1510 immediately offendedG4624. 22And he that isG1510 sownG4687 among the thornsG173 — this isG1510 he who hearsG191 the wordG3056, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceitG539 of richesG4149 chokeG4846 the wordG3056, and he becomesG1096 unfruitfulG175. 23But he that isG1510 sownG4687 upon the goodG2570 groundG1093 — this isG1510 he who hearsG191 and understandsG4920 the wordG3056, who bears fruitG2592 alsoG2532, and produces, oneG3739 a hundredG1540, oneG3739 sixtyG1835, and oneG3739 thirtyG5144. 24Another parableG3850 setG3908 he before them, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 has becomeG3666 like a manG444 sowingG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 in his fieldG68; 25but while menG444 slept, his enemyG2190 cameG2064 and sowedG4687 darnel amongst the wheatG4621, and wentG565 awayG565. 26But whenG3753 the blade shot up and producedG4160 fruitG2590, then appearedG5316 the darnel alsoG2532. 27And the bondmen of the householder cameG4334 up and saidG3004 to him, SirG2962, hast thou not sownG4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 in thy fieldG68? whence thenG3767 has it darnel? 28And he saidG3004 to them, A manG444 [that is] an enemyG2190 has done this. And the bondmen saidG3004 to him, Wilt thou thenG3767 that we should goG565 and gatherG4816 it [up]? 29But he saidG5346, No; lest [in] gatheringG4816 the darnel ye should root up the wheatG4621 with it. 30Suffer both to grow togetherG4863 unto the harvestG2326, and in timeG2540 of the harvestG2326 I will sayG3004 to the harvestmen, GatherG4863 firstG4413 the darnel, and bindG1210 it into bundles to burnG2618 it; but the wheatG4621 bring togetherG4863 into my granary. 31Another parableG3850 setG3908 he before them, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 like a grainG2848 of mustardG4615 [seed] which a manG444 tookG2983 and sowedG4687 in his fieldG68; 32which isG1510 less indeed than all seedsG4690, but whenG3752 it isG1510 grownG837 isG1510 greaterG3173 than herbs, and becomesG1096 a treeG1186, so that the birdsG4071 of heavenG3772 comeG2064 and roost in its branchesG2798. 33He spokeG2980 another parableG3850 to them: The kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 like leavenG2219, which a womanG1135 tookG2983 and hidG1470 in threeG5140 measures of meal until it had beenG1510 all leavenedG2220. 34All these thingsG3778 JesusG2424 spokeG2980 to the crowdsG3793 in parablesG3850, and without a parableG3850 he did not speakG2980 to them, 35soG3704 that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, I will openG455 my mouthG4750 in parablesG3850; I will utter things hiddenG2928 from [the] world's foundationG2602. 36Then, having dismissed the crowdsG3793, he went into the houseG3614; and his disciplesG3101 cameG2064 to him, sayingG3004, Expound to us the parableG3850 of the darnel of the fieldG68. 37But he answeringG611 saidG3004, He that sowsG4687 the goodG2570 seedG4690 isG1510 the SonG5207 of manG444, 38and the fieldG68 isG1510 the worldG2889; and the goodG2570 seedG4690, these areG1510 the sonsG5207 of the kingdomG932, but the darnel areG1510 the sonsG5207 of the evilG4190 [oneG3778]; 39and the enemyG2190 who has sowedG4687 it isG1510 the devilG1228; and the harvestG2326 isG1510 [the] completion of [the] ageG165, and the harvestmen areG1510 angelsG32. 40As then the darnel isG1510 gatheredG4816 and isG1510 burnedG2618 in the fireG4442, thus it shall beG1510 in the completion of the ageG165. 41The SonG5207 of manG444 shall sendG649 his angelsG32, and they shall gatherG4816 out of his kingdomG932 all offences, and those that practise lawlessnessG458; 42and they shall castG906 them into the furnaceG2575 of fireG4442; there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. 43ThenG5119 the righteousG1342 shall shine forth as the sunG2246 in the kingdomG932 of their FatherG3962. He that has earsG3775, let him hearG191. 44The kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 like a treasureG2344 hidG2928 in the fieldG68, which a manG444 having foundG2147 has hidG2928, and for the joyG5479 of it goesG5217 and sellsG4453 all whatever he has, and buysG59 that fieldG68. 45AgainG3825, the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 like a merchantG1713 seekingG2212 beautiful pearlsG3135; 46and having foundG2147 oneG1520 pearlG3135 of great value, he wentG565 and sold all whatever he had and boughtG59 it. 47AgainG3825, the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 like a seine which has beenG1510 castG906 into the seaG2281, and which has gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 of every kind, 48which, whenG3753 it has been filledG4137, having drawn up on the shore and satG2523 downG2523, they gatheredG4816 the goodG2570 into vessels and castG906 the worthless out. 49ThusG3779 shall it beG1510 in the completion of the ageG165: the angelsG32 shall goG1831 forthG1831 and sever the wickedG4190 from the midstG3319 of the justG1342, 50and shall castG906 them into the furnaceG2575 of fireG4442; there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. 51Jesus saysG3004 to them, Have ye understoodG4920 all these thingsG3778? They sayG3004 to him, Yea, [Lord]. 52And he saidG3004 to them, For this reason every scribeG1122 discipled to the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 like a manG444 [that isG1510] a householder who brings out of his treasureG2344 thingsG3778 newG2537 and oldG3820. 53And it cameG1096 to passG1096 whenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 these parablesG3850 he withdrew thence. 54And having comeG2064 into his ownG1438 country, he taughtG1321 them in their synagogueG4864, so that they were astonishedG1605, and saidG3004, Whence has this [manG3778] this wisdomG4678 and these works of powerG1411? 55IsG1510 not this the sonG5207 of the carpenterG5045? IsG1510 not his motherG3384 called MaryG3137, and his brethren JamesG2385, and JosephG2501, and SimonG4613, and JudasG2455? 56And his sistersG79, areG1510 they not all with us? Whence then has this [manG3778] all these thingsG3778? 57And they wereG1510 offendedG4624 in him. And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, A prophetG4396 isG1510 not without honour, unless in his country and in his houseG3614. 58And he did not there manyG4183 works of powerG1411, because of their unbeliefG570.
