⁸ And other seed fell on good ground, and came up, and grew, and yielded fruits; some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and a legate of Jesus the Messiah; according to the faith of the elect of God, and the knowledge of the truth which is in the fear of God, ² concerning the hope of eternal life, which the veracious God promised before the times of the world; ³ and in due time he hath manifested his word, by means of our announcement, which was confided to me by the command of God our Life-giver; ⁴ to Titus, a real son after the common faith: Grace and peace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah, our Life-giver. ⁵ For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou mightest regulate the things deficient, and establish elders in every city, as I directed thee: ⁶ him who is blameless, who is the husband of one wife, and hath believing children, who are no revellers, nor ungovernable in sensuality. ⁷ For an elder ought to be blameless, as the steward of God; and not be self-willed, nor irascible, nor excessive in wine, nor with hands swift to strike, nor a lover of base gains. ⁸ But he should be a lover of strangers, and a lover of good deeds, and be sober, upright, kind-hearted, and restraining himself from evil passions; ⁹ and studious of the doctrine of the word of faith, that he may be able by his wholesome teaching both to console, and to rebuke them that are contentious. ¹⁰ For many are unsubmissive, and their discourses vain; and they mislead the minds of people, especially such as are of the circumcision. ¹¹ The mouth of these ought to be stopped: they corrupt many families; and they teach what they ought not, for the sake of base gains. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own, said, The Cretans are always mendacious, evil beasts, idle bellies. ¹³ And this testimony is true. Therefore chide them sharply; that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ and may not throw themselves into Jewish fables, and into the precepts of men who hate the truth. ¹⁵ For to the pure, every thing is pure; but to them who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their understanding is defiled, and their conscience. ¹⁶ And they profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him; and they are odious, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobates.

¹ And after these things Jesus travelled about the cities and the villages, and proclaimed and announced the kingdom of God. And with him were his twelve disciples, ² and those women who were healed of infirmities and of unclean spirits, Mary called Magdalena, out of whom went seven demons, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them of their property. ⁴ And when a great multitude was assembled, and people came to him from all the cities, he said, in similitudes: ⁵ A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the side of the path, and was trodden upon, and a bird devoured it. ⁶ And other fell upon a rock, and sprung up forthwith; but, as it lacked moisture, it dried up. ⁷ And other fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up with it, and choked it. ⁸ And other fell on good and fair ground, and sprung up, and bore fruits, a hundred for one. Having said these things, he cried: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ⁹ And his disciples asked him: what meaneth this similitude? ¹⁰ And he said to them: To you it is given, to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others, it is spoken in allegories; that, while seeing, they may not see, and while hearing, may not understand. ¹¹ But this is the similitude: The seed is the word of God. ¹² And those by the side of the path, are they that hear the word, and the enemy cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, that they may not believe and live. ¹³ And those upon the rock, are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy: but they have no root in them, and their faith is temporary, and in time of temptation they are stumbled. ¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns, are those who hear the word, but are choked by cares, and by riches, and by worldly desires, and bear no fruits. ¹⁵ And that on good ground, are those who, with a humble and good heart, hear the word, and retain it, and with patience bring forth fruits. ¹⁶ No one lighteth a lamp, and covereth it with a vessel, or placeth it under a bed, but setteth it upon a light-stand, that all who come in, may see the light of it. ¹⁷ For there is nothing covered, that shall not be uncovered; nor concealed, that shall not be known and become manifest. ¹⁸ Take heed how ye hear: for to him that hath, shall be given; and from him that hath not, shall be taken even what he thinketh he hath. ¹⁹ And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they could not speak with him, because of the multitude. ²⁰ And they say to him: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, and wish to see thee. ²¹ And he answered and said: My mother and my brothers, are they who hear the word of God, and do it. ²² And on a certain day Jesus embarked and sat in a ship, he and his disciples. And he said to them; Let us pass over to the other side of the sea. ²³ And while they were rowing, Jesus fell asleep. And there was a tempest of wind on the sea; and the ship was near to sinking. ²⁴ And they came and awaked him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, our Rabbi, we are perishing! And he arose, and rebuked the winds and the agitations of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them: Where is your faith? And they being in awe, wondered, and said one to another: Who is this, that commandeth even the winds, and the waves, and the sea; and they obey him? ²⁶ And they rowed on, and came to the country of the Gadarenes, which lieth over against Galilee. ²⁷ And when he went out upon the land, there, met him a man of the city, in whom had been a demon for a long time; and he wore no clothing, and did not reside in a house, but among the tombs. ²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said, with a loud voice: What have we to do with thee? Jesus, thou Son of the exalted God. I entreat of thee, torment me not. ²⁹ For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit, to come out of the man: for, of a long time he had been held captive by him; and he had been bound with chains, and held in fetters; but he had burst the bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the desert. ³⁰ And Jesus demanded of him: What is thy name? And he said to him: Legion: because many demons had entered into him. ³¹ And they besought him, not to command them to depart into the abyss. ³² And there was a herd of many swine grazing on the mountain. And they besought him, that he would permit them to enter the swine. And he permitted them. ³³ And the demons went out of the man, and entered the swine; and the whole herd ran to a precipice, and plunged into the sea, and were strangled. ³⁴ And when the herdmen saw what had occurred, they fled, and told it in the cities and the villages. ³⁵ And the men went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had gone, now clothed, and modest, and sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were awed. ³⁶ And they that saw it, related to them in what manner the demoniac was cured. ³⁷ And the whole throng of the Gadarenes requested him, that he would depart from them: for great fear had seized them. And Jesus embarked in a ship, and retired from among them. ³⁸ And the man, from whom the demons had gone out, requested that he might remain with him. But Jesus dismissed him, and said to him: ³⁹ Return to thy home, and relate what God hath done for thee. And he went away, and proclaimed through all the city what Jesus had done for him. ⁴⁰ And when Jesus returned, a great multitude received him; for all were looking for him. ⁴¹ And a man, whose name was Jairus, a chief of the synagogue, fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to enter his house; ⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was near dying. And as Jesus went with him, a great multitude pressed upon him. ⁴³ And a certain woman, whose blood had flowed twelve years, and who had expended all her property among physicians, and could not be cured by any one, ⁴⁴ came up behind him, and touched the border of his garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said: Who touched me? And when all denied, Simon Cephas and those with him said to him: Our Rabbi, crowds press upon thee and sayest thou, Who touched me? ⁴⁶ And he said: Some one touched me; for I perceive, that energy hath gone out from me. ⁴⁷ And the woman, when she saw that she had not escaped his notice, came trembling, and fell down and worshipped him. And in the presence of all the people, she declared for what cause she had touched him, and that she was instantly healed. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said to her: Take courage, my daughter: Thy faith hath given thee life: Go in peace. ⁴⁹ And while he was speaking, one came from the house of the chief of the synagogue, and said to him: Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the teacher. ⁵⁰ And Jesus heard it, and said to the father of the maid: Fear not; believe only, and she will live. ⁵¹ And Jesus came to the house; and he suffered none to go in with him, except Simon, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the maid. ⁵² And all were weeping and wailing over her. And Jesus said: Weep not; for she is not dead, but sleepeth ⁵³ And they derided him, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ And he put every one out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Maid, arise. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she instantly arose. And he directed them to give her food. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished: and he charged them to tell no one what had occurred.

⁶ And this I say: He that soweth sparingly, shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully, shall also reap bountifully.

²² while your minds became sanctified, by obedience to the truth; and ye be full of love, without respect of persons, so that ye love one another out of a pure and perfect heart; ²³ like persons born again, not of seed that perisheth, but of that which doth not perish, by the living word of God, who abideth for ever. ²⁴ Because all flesh is as grass, and all its beauty like the flower of the field. The grass drieth up, and the flower withereth away; ²⁵ but the word of our God abideth for ever: and this is the word that is announced to you.

²⁰ Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, That if there be in you faith like a grain of mustard seed, ye may say to this mountain, Remove hence, and it will remove: and nothing will be too hard for you.

⁸ He who soweth in the flesh, reapeth from the flesh corruption: and he who soweth in the Spirit, will from the Spirit reap life everlasting.

³⁶ Foolish man! The seed which thou sowest, is not quickened, unless it die. ³⁷ And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that is to be, but the naked kernel of wheat or barley, or of the other grains: ³⁸ and God giveth it a body, as he pleaseth; and to each of the grains its natural body.

³⁸ and God giveth it a body, as he pleaseth; and to each of the grains its natural body.

¹ And on that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the side of the sea. ² And great multitudes assembled around him; so that he embarked and seated himself in a ship, and all the multitude stood on the shore of the sea. ³ An he discoursed with them much, by similitudes. And he said, Behold, a sower went forth to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some seed fell upon the side of a path: and a bird came and devoured it. ⁵ And other seed fell upon a rock, so that it had not much soil: and it sprung up forthwith, because there was no depth of earth. ⁶ But when the sun was up it wilted. And, because it lacked root, it dried up. ⁷ And other seed fell among thorns: and the thorns shot up, and choked it. ⁸ And other seed fell on good ground; and bore fruits, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold. ⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁰ And his disciples came and said to him, Why discoursest thou to them in similitudes? ¹¹ And he answered, and said to them: Because, to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. ¹² For to him that hath, shall be given; and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken from him. ¹³ For this cause I discourse to them in similitudes, because they see and do not see, and they hear and do not hear, nor understand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said: By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and by seeing ye see, and shall not know: ¹⁵ For the heart of this people hath grown fat, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and should hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should turn; and I should heal them. ¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. ¹⁷ For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men longed to see what ye see, and did not see it; and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear it. ¹⁸ But hear ye the similitude of the seed. ¹⁹ Every one that heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the evil one cometh and snatcheth away the seed sowed in his heart: this is what was sowed by the side of the path. ²⁰ And that which was sowed on the rock, is he that heareth the word, and at once receiveth it with joy. ²¹ Yet hath he no root in him, but is of short duration, and when there is trouble or persecution on account of the word, he soon stumbleth. ²² And that which was sowed among thorns, is he that heareth the word; and care for this world and the deceptiveness of riches, choke the word; and he is without fruits. ²³ But that which was sowed on good ground, is he that heareth my word, and understandeth. and beareth fruits, and yieldeth, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold. ²⁴ Another similitude he proposed to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like to a man who sowed good seed in his field. ²⁵ And while people were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ And when the plant shot up and bore fruits, then appeared also the tares. ²⁷ And the servants of the householder came, and said to him, Our lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? From whence are the tares in it. ²⁸ And he said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Is it thy pleasure that we go and gather them out? ²⁹ And he said to them, No, lest, while ye gather out the tares, ye also eradicate the wheat with them. ³⁰ Let them both grow together until the harvest; and at the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the tares, and bind them in bundles to be burned; but the wheat gather ye into my granary. ³¹ Another similitude proposed he to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like to a kernel of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. ³² And this is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than all the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that a bird of heaven may come and nestle in its branches. ³³ Another similitude spake he to them, The kingdom of heaven is like the leaven, which a woman took and buried in three measures of meal, until the whole fermented. ³⁴ All these things Jesus discoursed to the multitude in similitudes; and without similitudes he did not discourse with them. ³⁵ That so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, who said: I will open my mouth in similitudes; I will utter things concealed from before the foundation of the world. ³⁶ Then Jesus sent away the multitudes, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, and said: Explain to us the similitude of the tares and the field. ³⁷ And he answered, and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of God. ³⁸ And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked One. ³⁹ The enemy that sowed them, is Satan. The harvest is the end of the world and the reapers are the angels. ⁴⁰ As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so will it be in the end of the world. ⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling blocks, and all the doers of evil; ⁴² and will cast them into a furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then will the righteous shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that is hid in a field; which when a man findeth, he concealeth it, and, from his joy, he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman, who sought after rich pearls: ⁴⁶ and when he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it. ⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a sweep net, which was cast into the sea, and collected fishes of every kind. ⁴⁸ And when it was full, they drew it to the shores of the sea; and they sat down and culled over: and the good they put into vessels, and the bad they cast away. ⁴⁹ So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will go forth, and will sever the wicked from among the just; ⁵⁰ and will cast them into a furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹ Jesus said to them: Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes, our Lord. ⁵² He said to them: Therefore every Scribe who is instructed for the kingdom of heaven, is like a man who is master of a house, who bringeth forth from his treasures things new and old. ⁵³ And it was so, that when Jesus had ended these similitudes, he departed thence. ⁵⁴ And he entered into his own city. And he taught them in their synagogues, in such manner that they wondered, and said: Whence hath he this wisdom and these works of power? ⁵⁵ Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joses and Simon and Judas? ⁵⁶ And all his sisters, are they not with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? ⁵⁷ And they were stumbled at him. But Jesus said to them: There is no prophet who is little, except in his own city and in his own house. ⁵⁸ And he did not perform there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
