Matthew 13:4-23
4AndG2532 whenG1722 heG846 sowedG4687, someG3739G3303 seeds fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3598, andG2532 the fowlsG4071 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 themG846: 5SomeG1161G243 fellG4098 uponG1909 stony placesG4075, whereG3699 they hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093: andG2532 immediatelyG2112 they sprung upG1816, becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 deepnessG899 of earthG1093: 6AndG1161 when the sunG2246 had risenG393, they were scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, they withered awayG3583. 7AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1909 thornsG173; andG2532 the thornsG173 sprung upG305, andG2532 chokedG638 themG846: 8ButG1161 othersG243 fellG4098 intoG1909 goodG2570 groundG1093, andG2532 brought forthG1325 fruitG2590, someG3739G3303 an hundredfoldG1540, someG3739 sixtyfoldG1835, someG3739 thirtyfoldG5144. 9WhoG3588 hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 10AndG2532 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and saidG2036 to himG846, WhyG1302 speakest thouG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850? 11He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 to themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 to youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325. 12ForG1063 whoeverG3748 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have more abundanceG4052: butG1161 whoeverG3748 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be taken awayG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 which he hathG2192. 13ThereforeG1223G5124 I speakG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 they seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920. 14AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268, whichG3588 saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3364 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG1492 notG3364 perceiveG1492: 15ForG1063 thisG5127 people’sG2992 heartG2588 has become dullG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are hardG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846. 16ButG1161 blessedG3107 are yourG5216 eyesG3788, forG3754 they seeG991: andG2532 yourG5216 earsG3775, forG3754 they hearG191. 17ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG1492 the things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG1492 notG3756 seenG1492 them ; andG2532 to hearG191 the things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them . 18HearG191 yeG5210 thereforeG3767 the parableG3850 of the sowerG4687. 19When anyG3956 one hearethG191 the wordG3056 of the kingdomG932, andG2532 understandethG4920 it notG3361, then comethG2064 the wickedG4190 one, andG2532 catcheth awayG726 that whichG3588 was sownG4687 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588. ThisG3778 isG2076 he who received seedG4687 byG3844 the way sideG3598. 20ButG1161 he that received the seedG4687 intoG1909 stony placesG4075, the sameG3778 isG2076 he that hearethG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 immediatelyG2117 withG3326 joyG5479 receivethG2983 itG846; 21YetG1161 he hathG2192 notG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 himselfG1438, butG235 endurethG2076 for a whileG4340: forG1161 when tribulationG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056, immediatelyG2117 he is offendedG4624.1 22He alsoG1161 that received seedG4687 amongG1519 the thornsG173 isG2076 he thatG3778 hearethG191 the wordG3056; andG2532 the careG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 he becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175. 23ButG1161 he that received seedG4687 intoG1909 the goodG2570 groundG1093 isG2076 heG3778 that hearethG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 understandethG4920 it ; whoG3739 alsoG1211 beareth fruitG2592, andG2532 bringeth forthG4160, someG3739G3303 an hundredfoldG1540, someG3739 sixtyG1835, someG3739 thirtyG5144.
