⁸ And others fell into the good ground, and were yielding fruit, springing up and growing; and bore, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold."

¹ Paul, a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the full knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, ² upon hope of eternal life which God, Who cannot lie, promised before eternal times, ³ but in His own seasons manifested His word in a proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior; ⁴ to Titus, a true child according to the common faith: grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. ⁵ For this cause I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you; ⁶ if anyone is blameless, a husband of one wife, having believing children not in accusation of rioting, or unruly. ⁷ For the bishop must be blameless, as God's steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy of base gain; ⁸ but hospitable, a lover of good, sober-minded, righteous, pious, temperate; ⁹ holding fast the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the healthful doctrine, and to convict those who contradict. ¹⁰ For there are many unruly men, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ whom it is needful to reduce to silence: who, indeed, are overthrowing whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of base gain. ¹² One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always false, evil beasts, idle gluttons." ¹³ This testimony is true. For which cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. ¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience have become defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God; but by their works they deny Him; being abominable, and disobedient, and for every good work worthless.

¹ And it came to pass soon afterwards, that He was passing through by city and village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God; and the twelve were with Him; ² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, ³ and Joanna wife of Chuzas Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to them of their substance. ⁴ And, when a large multitude was coming together, and those from city after city were coming to Him, He spake through a parable: ⁵ "The sower went forth to sow his seed. And in his sowing some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the heaven devoured it. ⁶ And another fell upon the rock; and, springing up, it was withered because of not having moisture. ⁷ And another fell amid the thorns; and the thorns growing with it choked it. ⁸ And another fell into the good ground; and, growing, it produced fruit, a hundredfold." Saying these things, He was crying aloud, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." ⁹ And His disciples were asking Him, what this parable might be. ¹⁰ And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables; that, seeing, they may not see, and, hearing, they may not understand. ¹¹ Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. ¹² And those by the wayside are those who heard; then the Devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart; lest, having believed, they should be saved. ¹³ "And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; who, for a season, believe, and in time of temptation fall away. ¹⁴ "And that which fell among the thorns, these are those who heard; and, going forth, they are choked with anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, and bear no fruit to perfection. ¹⁵ "And that in the good ground, these are such as, in a good and honest heart, having heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with patience. ¹⁶ "And no one, having lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a lamp-stand, that those coming in may see the light; ¹⁷ for nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; nor hidden, that shall not be known, and become manifest. ¹⁸ Take heed, therefore, how ye hear; for whosoever has, to him shall be given; and whosoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him." ¹⁹ Now there came to Him His mother and brothers; and they could not get to Him because of the multitude. ²⁰ And it was reported to Him, "Thy mother and Thy brothers have been standing without, wishing to see Thee." ²¹ And He, answering, said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it." ²² Now it came to pass on one of the days, that both He and His disciples entered into a boat; and He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." And they set forth. ²³ But, as they were sailing, He fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were being filled full of water, and were in peril. ²⁴ And, coming near, they awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we perish!" And, having arisen, He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and it became calm. ²⁵ And He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And, struck with fear, they marvelled, saying one to another, "Who, then, is This, that He commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!" ²⁶ And they sailed down into the country of the Gerasenes, which is over against Galilee. ²⁷ And, when He went forth on the land, there met Him a certain man out of the city, who had demons, and for a long time he had worn no clothing; and he abode not in a house, but in the tombs. ²⁸ And, seeing Jesus, he, crying out, fell down before Him, and, with a loud voice, said, "What is there to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beg of Thee, do not torment me!" ²⁹ For He was commanding the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for many times had it seized him, and he was bound with chains and fetters, kept under guard; and, bursting the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the deserts. ³⁰ And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," (because many demons entered into him). ³¹ And they were entreating Him, that He would not command them to go away into the abyss. ³² And there was there a herd of many swine in the mountains; and they besought Him that He would permit them to enter into them. And He permitted them. ³³ And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned. ³⁴ And those feeding them, seeing what had taken place, fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. ³⁵ And they went out to see what had taken place; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons went out, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and having his right mind; and they were afraid. ³⁶ And those who saw it reported to them how the demon-possessed man was delivered. ³⁷ And the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Him to depart from them; because they were being constrained by great fear. And He, entering into a boat, returned. ³⁸ And the man, from whom the demons had gone forth, was begging Him that he might be with Him; but He sent him away, saying, ³⁹ "Return to your house, and relate how great things God did for you." And he departed, publishing through all the city how great things Jesus did for him. ⁴⁰ And, as Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed Him; for they were all expecting Him. ⁴¹ And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and, falling down near Jesus' feet, he was beseeching Him to come into his house; ⁴² because he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying! But, as He was going away, the multitudes were thronging. ⁴³ And a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who could not be cured, ⁴⁴ coming up behind, touched the border of His garment, and immediately her flow of blood stopped. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said, "Who is it that touched Me?" And, when all were denying, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes are thronging Thee, and hard pressing Thee!" ⁴⁶ But Jesus said, "Some one touched Me; for I perceived that power had gone out from Me." ⁴⁷ And the woman, seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling; and, falling down before Him, reported before all the people for what cause she touched Him, and how she was instantly healed. ⁴⁸ And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace." ⁴⁹ While He is yet speaking, there comes one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying, "Your daughter has died; trouble not the Teacher." ⁵⁰ But Jesus, hearing it, answered him, "Fear not; only believe; and she shall be made whole!" ⁵¹ And, coming into the house, He permitted no one to enter with Him, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the maiden, and her mother. ⁵² And they were all weeping, and bewailing her; but He said, "Weep not; for she did not die, but is sleeping." ⁵³ And they were deriding Him, knowing that she died. ⁵⁴ But He, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Maiden, arise." ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned to her, and she rose up instantly; and He commanded that something should be given to her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished. But He charged them to tell no one what had taken place.

⁶ But I say this: He that sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully.

²² Having purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart earnestly; ²³ having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, that lives and abides. ²⁴ Because "All flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass: the grass withered, and the flower fell off; but the word of the Lord abides forever." ²⁵ And this is the word of the good news which was proclaimed to you.

²⁰ And He saith to them, "Because of your little faith. For verily I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, 'Remove hence yonder,' and it will be removed, and nothing shall be impossible to you."

⁸ because he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life eternal.

³⁶ Foolish one! that which you sow is not made alive, except it die; ³⁷ and that which you sow, you sow not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some other kind; ³⁸ but God giveth it a body, even as He willed, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

³⁸ but God giveth it a body, even as He willed, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

¹ On that day Jesus, having gone out of the house, was sitting by the seaside. ² And there were gathered to Him great multitudes; so that He, having entered into a boat, sat down, and all the multitudes were standing on the beach. ³ And He spake to them many things in parables, saying, "Behold, the sower went forth to sow. ⁴ And, in his sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the birds, coming, devoured them. ⁵ And others fell on the rocky places, where they had not much earth; and straightway they sprang up, because they had not depth of earth. ⁶ And, the sun having risen, they were scorched; and, because they had no root, they withered away. ⁷ And others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. ⁸ And others fell on the good ground, and were yielding fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty. ⁹ He that has ears let him hear." ¹⁰ And the disciples, having come near, said to Him, "Wherefore dost Thou speak to them in parables?" ¹¹ And He, answering, said to them, "Because to you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given. ¹² For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall be made to abound; but whosoever has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him. ¹³ On this account, I speak to them in parables; because, seeing, they see not; and, hearing, they hear not, nor understand. ¹⁴ And to them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, 'With hearing ye will hear, and will not understand; and, seeing, ye will see, and will not perceive; ¹⁵ for the heart of this people was made gross, and with their ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal them.' ¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. ¹⁷ For verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what ye are seeing, and did not see them; and to hear what ye are hearing, and did not hear them. ¹⁸ Hear ye, therefore, the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ When any one hears the word of the Kingdom, and understands it not, the evil one comes, and snatches away what has been sown in his heart: this is he that was sown by the wayside. ²⁰ And he that was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and straightway with joy receives it; ²¹ yet he has not root in himself, but is only temporary; and, when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, straightway he stumbles. ²² And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that hears the word; and the anxiety of the age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. ²³ But he that was sown on the good ground, this is he that hears the word and understands it; who, indeed, bears fruit, and produces, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." ²⁴ Another parable He set before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven was likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field; ²⁵ and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ And, when the blade sprang up, and produced fruit, then appeared the tares also. ²⁷ And the servants of the house-holder, corning near, said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Whence, then, has it tares?' ²⁸ And he said to them, 'An enemy did this.' The servants say to him, 'Do you wish, then, that we, going, should gather them up?' ²⁹ He says, 'No; lest, while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. ³⁰ Suffer both to grow together until the harvest. And, in the season of harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them into bundles, with the view of burning them; but gather the wheat into my barn.'" ³¹ Another parable He set before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man, having taken, sowed in his field: ³² which, indeed, is less than all the seeds; but, when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and roost in its branches." ³³ Another parable He spake to them: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like leaven, which a woman, taking, hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened." ³⁴ All these things Jesus spake to the multitudes in parables; and, without a parable, He was wont to speak nothing to them; ³⁵ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world." ³⁶ Then, leaving the multitudes, He went into the house; and His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field." ³⁷ And, answering, He said, "He that sows the good seed is the Son of Man. ³⁸ The field is the world: and the good seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the evil one; ³⁹ and the enemy that sowed them is the Devil; and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels. ⁴⁰ As, therefore, the tares are gathered up, and are burned with fire, so shall it be in the end of the age. ⁴¹ The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of the Kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those who do iniquity; ⁴² and they will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth! ⁴³ Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He that has ears let him hear. ⁴⁴ "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and in his joy he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field. ⁴⁵ "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls; ⁴⁶ and, having found one pearl of great price, departing, he has sold all that he had, and bought it. ⁴⁷ "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a net, cast into the sea, and gathering of every kind; ⁴⁸ which, when it was filled having drawn it up again upon the beach, and sitting down, they gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad. ⁴⁹ So will it be at the end of the age. The angels will go forth, and will separate the wicked from the midst of the righteous, ⁵⁰ and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping, and the gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹ "Did ye understand all these things?" They say to Him, "Yes;" ⁵² and He said to them, "Therefore, every scribe, having been made a disciple to the Kingdom of heaven, is like a householder, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old." ⁵³ And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, He departed thence. ⁵⁴ And, coming into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Whence hath this Man this wisdom, and the mighty works? ⁵⁵ Is not This the carpenter's Son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ And His sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then, hath this Man all these things?" ⁵⁷ And they were finding in Him occasion to stumble. And Jesus said to them "a prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house." ⁵⁸ And He did not perform many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
