And it was so.

¹ Paul, a bondman of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen of God, and the knowledge of truth according to piety, ² in hope of eternal life, which the non-lying God promised before times eternal, ³ but in his own times he made known his word by preaching, which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior, ⁴ to Titus, a genuine child according to the common faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior. ⁵ I left thee behind in Crete on account of this: That thou should set in order the things lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded thee, ⁶ if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not with an accusation of debauchery or insubordinate. ⁷ For the overseer must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-willed, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not a fighter, not greedy of base gain, ⁸ but a lover of strangers, a lover of good, serious minded, just, devout, self-controlled, ⁹ holding firm the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may also be able to exhort by the sound doctrine, and to correct those who contradict. ¹⁰ For there are also many insubordinate men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those from circumcision, ¹¹ who must be muzzled, men who subvert whole houses, teaching things that they ought not, for sake of ugly profit. ¹² A certain man of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies. ¹³ This testimony is true, because of which reason, reprove them harshly, so that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish myths, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. ¹⁵ Truly to the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but in their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and worthless for every good work.

¹² And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit in which is the seed of it, according to their kind. And God saw that it was good.

¹ And it came to pass that he traveled through, by city and village in succession, announcing and preaching the good news of the kingdom of God, and the twelve men with him, ² and certain women who were healed from evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many other women who served them from the things they possessed. ⁴ And when a large multitude gathered together, and those coming to him from each city, he spoke by a parable. ⁵ The man who sows went forth to sow his seed. And during his sowing, some fell by the way, and it was trampled, and the birds of the sky devoured it. ⁶ And another fell on the rock, and having grown, it withered away because of not having moisture. ⁷ And another fell amidst the thorns, and having grown together, the thorns choked it. ⁸ And another fell on the good ground, and having grown it produced fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things, he called out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear. ⁹ And his disciples questioned him, saying, What is this parable? ¹⁰ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the others in parables, so that seeing they would not see, and hearing they would not understand. ¹¹ Now the parable is this. The seed is the word of God. ¹² And those by the way are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they would 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 believe for a time, and withdraw in time of trial. ¹⁴ And that which fell in the thorns, these are those who heard, and as they go they are choked by cares and wealth and pleasures of life, and do not bring to maturity. ¹⁵ But those in the good ground, these are those who in an good and right heart, having heard the word, hold it firm, and bring forth fruit in perseverance. ¹⁶ And no man, having lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or places it under a bed, but places it on a lampstand, so that those who enter in may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is no secret that will not become visible, nor hid, that will not be known and come to be visible. ¹⁸ Notice therefore how ye hear. For whoever has, to him will be given, and whoever has not, even what he seems to have will be taken from him. ¹⁹ And his mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him because of the crowd. ²⁰ And it was reported to him, saying, Thy mother and thy brothers stand outside, desiring to see thee. ²¹ But having answered, he 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 those days, that he entered into a boat, also his disciples. And he said to them, Let us pass through to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth, ²³ but as they sailed he began to asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling up, and were in peril. ²⁴ And having approached, they awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing. And having risen, 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 having feared, they wondered, saying to each other, Who then is this man, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him? ²⁶ And they sailed toward the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. ²⁷ And when he came forth upon the land, a certain man met him out of the city, who had demons of a considerable time. And he wore no clothing, and did not dwell in a house, but in the sepulchers. ²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, having cried out, he fell down before him. And in a great voice he said, What is with me and with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee, do not torment me. ²⁹ For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man, for many times it had seized him. And he was bound with chains and shackles, and guarded. And breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desolate regions. ³⁰ And Jesus demanded him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion, because many demons were entered into him. ³¹ And they entreated him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss. ³² Now a herd of considerable swine was there feeding on the mountain, and they implored him that he would allow them to enter into those. And he allowed them. ³³ And the demons having come out from the man, they entered into the swine. And the herd stampeded down the slope into the lake, and were drowned. ³⁴ And when those who tended them saw what happened, they fled and reported it in the city and in the fields. ³⁵ And they came out to see what happened. And they came to Jesus, and found the man, from whom the demons had gone out, sitting near the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. ³⁶ And also those who saw it informed them how the man who was demon-possessed was saved. ³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region around the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them, because they were gripped by great fear. And he, having embarked into the boat, returned. ³⁸ But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, ³⁹ Return to thy house, and relate everything God did for thee. And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city how many things Jesus did for him. ⁴⁰ And it came to pass during Jesus returning, the multitude welcomed him, 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 having fallen down near Jesus' feet, he besought him to come into his house, ⁴² because there was with him an only begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But during his going the multitudes thronged him. ⁴³ And a woman being with an issue of blood for twelve years, who, although she spent her entire living on physicians, was unable to be healed by any, ⁴⁴ having come from behind, she touched the border of his garment. And immediately the issue of her blood stayed. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who is he who touched me? But when they all denied, Peter and those with him, said, Master, the multitudes come together and crowd thee, and thou say, Who is he who touched me? ⁴⁶ But Jesus said, Who touched me? For I perceived power having gone forth from me. ⁴⁷ And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling. And having fallen down before him, she declared to him in the presence of all the people for what reason she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Cheer up, Daughter. Thy faith has healed thee. Go in peace. ⁴⁹ While he still spoke, some man comes from the synagogue ruler, saying to him, Thy daughter has died. Do not trouble the teacher. ⁵⁰ But having heard it, Jesus answered him, saying, Fear not, only believe and she will be saved. ⁵¹ And when he came to the house, he did not allow any man to enter in except Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and the mother. ⁵² And all were weeping and bewailing her. But he said, Weep not. She did not die, but sleeps. ⁵³ And they ridiculed him, knowing that she died. ⁵⁴ But having sent them all away outside, having taken her by the hand, he called out, saying, Girl, awake. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And he commanded to give her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed, but he ordered them to tell no man that which happened.

⁶ But this, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows in blessings will also reap in blessings.

²² men who have purified your souls in obedience of the truth through the Spirit for non-hypocritical brotherly love. Ye should love each other fervently from a pure heart, ²³ begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God that lives and remains into the age. ²⁴ Because all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as a flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower of it falls away, ²⁵ but the word of the Lord endures into the age. And this is the word, the good news that was preached to you.

¹¹ And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit according to their kind (in which is the seed of them) upon the earth. And it was so.

²⁰ And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of a mustard plant, ye will say to this mountain, Remove from here to there, and it will depart, and nothing will be impossible to you.

⁸ Because he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

³⁶ Thou foolish man, what thou sow is not made alive unless it dies. ³⁷ And what thou sow, thou do not sow the body that it will become, but a bare grain, if it may happen of wheat, or of some other kind. ³⁸ But God gives it a body as he wills, and to each of the seeds its own body.

³⁸ But God gives it a body as he wills, and to each of the seeds its own body.

¹ And on that day, having departed from the house, Jesus was sitting beside the sea. ² And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore. ³ And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them. ⁵ But others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much soil, and straightaway they sprang up because they had no depth of soil. ⁶ But when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered. ⁷ And others fell in the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. ⁸ But others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. ⁹ He who has ears, let him hear. ¹⁰ And the disciples having come, they said to him, Why do thou speak to them in parables? ¹¹ And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given. ¹² For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him. ¹³ Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive. ¹⁵ For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them. ¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. ¹⁷ For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them. ¹⁸ Hear ye then the parable of the man who sows. ¹⁹ Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside. ²⁰ And that which was sown upon the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and straightaway receiving it with joy, ²¹ yet he has no root in himself, instead it is temporary. And when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway he is caused to stumble. ²² And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. ²³ But that which was sown upon the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and is productive, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. ²⁴ He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man sowing good seed in his field. ²⁵ But while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away. ²⁶ And when the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared. ²⁷ But the bondmen of the house-ruler having come, they said to him, Sir, did thou not sow good seed in thy field? From where then does it have tares? ²⁸ And he said to them, A hostile man did this. And the bondmen said to him, Do thou desire therefore, after going, we would gather them up? ²⁹ But he said, No, lest while gathering up the tares, ye uproot the wheat together with them. ³⁰ Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles in order to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn. ³¹ He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard plant, which having taken, a man sowed in his field. ³² Which indeed is smaller than all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and lodge in the branches of it. ³³ He spoke another parable to them. The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which having taken, a woman hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened. ³⁴ Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes, and he did not speak to them independent of a parable, ³⁵ so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things concealed from the foundation of the world. ³⁶ Then having sent the multitudes away, Jesus came into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. ³⁷ And having answered, he said to them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of man, ³⁸ and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of evil. ³⁹ And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are agents. ⁴⁰ As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned in fire, so it will be at the end of this age. ⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his agents, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness, ⁴² and 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 who has ears to hear, let him hear. ⁴⁴ Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man having found, he hid. And from the joy of it, he goes and sells all, as many things as he has, and buys that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls. ⁴⁶ Who, having found one very valuable pearl, after departing, sold all, as many things as he had, and bought it. ⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered from every kind, ⁴⁸ which, when it was full, after dragging to the shore, having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, but they cast out the useless. ⁴⁹ So it will be at the end of the age. The agents will come forth, and separate the bad from among the righteous, ⁵⁰ and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹ Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord. ⁵² And he said to them, Because of this every scholar who has been instructed in the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a house-ruler, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old. ⁵³ And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, he departed from there. ⁵⁴ And having come into his fatherland he taught them in their synagogue, so as for them to be astonished, and say, From where is this wisdom and powers in this man? ⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas? ⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all near us? From where then are all these things in this man? ⁵⁷ And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and in his house. ⁵⁸ And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food,
