⁸ And other seed fell in the good ground, and produced fruit that grew up and increased, and produced, one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred.

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgement of the truth, which is according to godliness; ² in hope of eternal life, which God, who can not lie, promised be fore the times of the ages, ³ but he has in his own times manifested his word by preaching, which was committed to me ac cording to the commandment of God our Savior; ⁴ to Titus, my true son, according to the common faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. ⁵ I left you in Crete for this purpose, that you might set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I commanded you: ⁶ if any one is blameless, the husband of one wife, if he has faithful children that are not accused of riotous living, or disobedient. ⁷ For the bishop must be blame less, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not fond of wine, not quarrelsome, not one who makes money by base means; ⁸ but hospitable, a lover of goodness, sober-minded, just, holy, temperate, ⁹ holding fast the sure word as it is taught, that he may be able, by sound teaching, both to exhort and to convince the opposers. ¹⁰ For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped: these subvert whole houses by teaching, for the sake of base gain, things which they ought not to teach. ¹² One of themselves, a prophet of their own, has said: The Cretans are always liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons. ¹³ This testimony is true; wherefore rebuke them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ and not give heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure, all things are pure: but to the denied and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their mind and their conscience are denied. ¹⁶ They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him, being detestable and disobedient, and, as it respects every good work, rejected.

¹ And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him; ² and also certain women that had been cured of evil spirits and diseases; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven demons, ³ and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him from their means. ⁴ And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable: ⁵ The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up. ⁶ And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture. ⁷ And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. ⁸ And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear. ⁹ And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean? ¹⁰ He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand. ¹¹ But the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God; ¹² those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved. ¹³ Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize. ¹⁴ That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct them selves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection. ¹⁵ But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. ¹⁶ No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view. ¹⁸ Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him. ¹⁹ And his mother and his brothers came to him, but were not able to get near him on account of the multitude. ²⁰ And it was told him by some that said: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee. ²¹ But he answered and said to them: My mother and my brothers are they that hear the word of God and do it. ²² And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he entered a ship with his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they set sail. ²³ And while they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and were in danger. ²⁴ And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, master, we perish. But he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them: "Where is your faith? And being afraid, they wondered, and said one to another: "Who, then, is this, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him? ²⁶ And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite to Galilee. ²⁷ And when he came out upon the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had been possessed with demons for a long time, and who wore no clothes, and dwelt in no house, but in the tombs. ²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice: "What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not. ²⁹ For he had O; commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized upon him, and he had been bound with chains and fetters, and kept in confinement; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the deserts. ³⁰ And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? He answered, Legion; for many demons had entered into him. ³¹ And they be sought him, that he would not command them to -go away into the abyss. ³² And there was in that place a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them. ³³ And the demons came out of the man, and went into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned. ³⁴ And when those who fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country. ³⁵ And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid. ³⁶ And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved. ³⁷ And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned. ³⁸ And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying: ³⁹ Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him. ⁴⁰ And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received him gladly; for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And, behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus; and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to come into his house; ⁴² for he had a daughter, his only child, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitude pressed upon him. ⁴³ And a woman that had been afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole living upon physicians, and could be cured by no one, ⁴⁴ came behind, and touched the fringe of his mantle; and her issue of blood immediately ceased. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me? ⁴⁶ But Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me. ⁴⁷ And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health. ⁴⁸ And he said to her: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you; go in peace. ⁴⁹ While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher. ⁵⁰ But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved. ⁵¹ And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child. ⁵² And all were weeping and lamenting her. Bat he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps. ⁵³ And they derided him, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ But he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Child, arise. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he commanded that food should be given her. ⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.

⁶ But remember this, that he who sows sparingly, shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully, shall also reap bountifully.

²² Having purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit, to unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another with a pure heart fervently, ²³ having been begotten again, not with corruptible seed, but with incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. ²⁴ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass; the grass withers, and its flower fails away: but the word of the Lord abides forever: and this is the word which has been preached as gospel to you. ²⁵ :

²⁰ And Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith like a grain of mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed from this place to that, and it shall be removed: and nothing shall be impossible for you.

⁸ For he that sows for his flesh shall from the flesh, reap corruption; but he that sows for his spirit shall from the Spirit reap life eternal.

³⁶ Thoughtless man! That which you sow is not made alive, unless it die; ³⁷ and as to that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be produced, but the naked grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other grain: ³⁸ but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body.

³⁸ but God gives it a body, as it pleases him; and to every seed, its proper body.

¹ On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea. ² And many multitudes came together to him, so that he went into a ship and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. ³ And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying: Behold, the sower went out to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way: and the birds came and ate them up. ⁵ Others fell on stony places, where they had not much earth; and they immediately sprung up, because they had no depth of earth. ⁶ But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. ⁷ Others fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up and choked them. ⁸ Others fell upon good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred, some fifty. some thirty. ⁹ He that has ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁰ And the disciples came and said to him: "Why dost thou speak to them in parables? ¹¹ He answered, and said to them: Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given. ¹² For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him. ¹³ For this reason I speak to them in parables; because when they see, they see not; and when they hear, they hear not, nor do they understand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophesy of Isaiah, which says: You shall surely hear, and you will not understand; and you shall surely see, and you will not perceive. ¹⁵ For the heart of this people has become fat; and with their ears they hear heavily; and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn to me, and I should give them health. ¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. ¹⁷ For verily I say to you, Many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear. ¹⁸ Hear you, therefore, the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, the wicked one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he that received seed by the way side. ²⁰ He that received seed on the stony places is he that hears the word, and immediately receives it with joy. ²¹ Yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while; and when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, he immediately takes offense. ²² He that received seed among the thorns, is he that hears the word; and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. ²³ But he that received seed on the good ground, is he that hears the word and understands it; who also produces fruit, and yields, one a hundred; another, sixty; another, thirty. ²⁴ Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. ²⁵ But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ But when the blade sprung up, and produced fruit, then appeared the tares also. ²⁷ And the servants of the master of the house came, and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares? ²⁸ He said to them, An enemy has done this. The servants said to him, Is it your will, then, that we go and gather them up? ²⁹ But he said, No; lest while you are gathering the tares, you root up the wheat with them. ³⁰ Let both grow together till the harvest, and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Collect first the tares, and bind them into bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my granary. ³¹ Another parable he laid before them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like- a grain of mustard, that a man took and sowed in his field. ³² It is, indeed, the least of all seeds; but when it is grown it is the largest of garden-plants, and be comes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and roost in its branches. ³³ He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of. heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened. ³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them; ³⁵ that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things that have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. ³⁶ Then Jesus left the multitudes, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him and said: Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. ³⁷ He answered and said to them: He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; ³⁸ the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom; the tares are the sons of the Wicked One; ³⁹ the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. ⁴⁰ As, therefore, the tares are collected and burned in fire, so shall it be in the end of this age. ⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his angels, and collect out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who work iniquity, ⁴² and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears to hear,- let him hear. ⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which, when a man finds it, he hides; and for the joy it gives, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls. ⁴⁶ When he finds one pearl of great value, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys it. ⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that is cast into the sea, and that gathers of every kind: ⁴⁸ when it is full, they draw it to the shore; and sitting down, they collect the good into vessels, but throw the bad away. ⁴⁹ So shall it be in the end of the age: the angels shall come forth and separate the wicked from among the just, ⁵⁰ and cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹ Jesus said to them: Have you understood all these things? They said to him: Yes, Lord. ⁵² He said to them: Therefore, every scribe that is trained for the kingdom of heaven, is like the master of a house, who brings out of his treasury things new and old. ⁵³ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place. ⁵⁴ And he came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said: Whence has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? ⁵⁵ Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas? ⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then, has this man all these things? ⁵⁷ And they found in him occasion for offense. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, unless it be in his own country and in his own house. ⁵⁸ And he did not many mighty works there, on account of their unbelief.
