26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it unto you.

30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, x See that no man know it. 31 y But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

32 z As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

26 And it Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

9 f Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11 He answered and said unto them, Because g it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12 h For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables because they seeing, see not; and hearing, they hear not; neither do they understand.

14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears kare dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

16 But I blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

17 For verily I say unto you, mThat many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

18 Tn Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word o 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.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon p with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in him self, but dureth for a while for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by q he is offended.

22 He also that received seed s among the thorns is he that hear Ils Jer. 4. 3. eth the word; and the care of this
