18 1' Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom,and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way-side. || k Isa. 58, 2. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and John 5, 25 anon with joy receiveth it; Ezek. 83, S1, S2. 12 Tim. 4, 10. In ch. 16, 35. & 18, 37. a ch. 3, 12. o Isa. 2, 2, 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty. 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good secd in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up. and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servant said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 31 1° Another parable put he forth unto them, Micah 4, 1. saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of Lure 15,18 mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Mark 4, 30. p Luke 15, 20. q Mark 4, 93, 34. r Ps. 78, 2. Rom 16,25 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. 33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 349 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: r 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken 27. by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in paCL 1,25. rables; I will utter things which have been kept Eps 3,9. secret from the foundation of the world. 361 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; Divers other parables. 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; t 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the ch.2 harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers Mark are the angels. u 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; X A Job Joel à !!
