Matthew 13:4-23

4AndG2532 whenG1722 heG846 sowedG4687, someG3739 seeds fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598, andG2532 the fowlsG3588G4071 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846 upG2719: 5SomeG243 fellG4098 uponG1909 stony placesG4075, whereG3699 they hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093: andG2532 forthwithG2112 they sprung upG1816, becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 deepnessG899 of earthG1093: 6AndG1161 when the sunG2246 was upG393, they were scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, they withered awayG3583. 7AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1909 thornsG3588G173; andG2532 the thornsG3588G173 sprung upG305, andG2532 chokedG638 themG846: 8ButG1161 otherG243 fellG4098 intoG1909 goodG3588G2570 groundG3588G1093, andG2532 brought forthG1325 fruitG2590, someG3739 an hundredfoldG1540, someG3739 sixtyfoldG1835, someG3739 thirtyfoldG5144. 9Who hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 10AndG2532 the disciplesG3588G3101 cameG4334, and saidG3004 unto himG846, WhyG5101 speakest thouG2980 unto themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850? 11He answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG4771 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3588G3466 of the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325. 12ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have more abundanceG4052: butG1161 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be taken awayG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 he hathG2192. 13ThereforeG3778 speak IG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 theyG991 seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920. 14AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG3588G4394 of IsaiahG2268, which saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3361 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG3708 notG3361 perceiveG3708: 15ForG1063 thisG3778 people’sG3588G2992 heartG3588G2588 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3588G3775 are dull ofG917 hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG3708 withG3588G3788 their eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 hearG191 withG3588G3775 their earsG3588G3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 withG3588G2588 their heartG3588G2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846. 16ButG1161 blessedG3107 are yourG4771 eyesG3588G3788, forG3754 they seeG991: andG2532 yourG4771 earsG3588G3775, forG3754 they hearG191. 17ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG3708 those things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 them; andG2532 to hearG191 those things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them.

18HearG191 yeG4771 thereforeG3767 the parableG3588G3850 of the sowerG4687. 19When any oneG3956 hearethG191 the wordG3588G3056 of the kingdomG3588G932, andG2532 understandethG4920 it notG3361, then comethG2064 the wickedG4190 one, andG2532 catcheth awayG726 that which was sownG4687 inG1722 hisG846 heartG3588G2588. ThisG3778 isG1510 he which received seedG4687 byG3844 the way sideG3588G3598. 20ButG1161 he that received the seedG4687 intoG1909 stony placesG4075, the sameG3778 isG1510 he that hearethG191 the wordG3588G3056, andG2532 anonG2112 withG3326 joyG5479 receivethG2983 itG846; 21YetG1161 hath heG2192 notG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 himselfG1438, butG235 durethG1510 for a whileG4340: for whenG1161 tribulationG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 because ofG1223 the wordG3588G3056, by and byG2112 he is offendedG4624. 22HeG4687 alsoG1161 that received seedG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG3588G173 isG1510 heG3778 that hearethG191 the wordG3588G3056; andG2532 the careG3588G3308 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG3588G539 of richesG3588G4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3588G3056, andG2532 he becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175. 23ButG1161 he that received seedG3588G4687 intoG1909 theG3588G1093 goodG3588G2570 groundG3588G1093 isG1510 heG3778 that hearethG3588G191 the wordG3588G3056, andG2532 understandethG4920 it; whichG3739 alsoG1211 beareth fruitG2592, andG2532 bringeth forthG4160, someG3588 an hundredfoldG1540, someG3588 sixtyG1835, someG3588 thirtyG5144.
