Speaking these things, He cried out, Let the one having ears to hear, hear. ⁹ And His disciples asked Him saying, What might this parable 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; in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. ¹¹ And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. ¹² And there are those who hear by the wayside; then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest they believing may be saved. ¹³ And those on the stones are they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy; and they have no root in them, who believe for a time, and in time of temptation they fall away. ¹⁴ And that which falleth among thorns, there are those who hear, and going forward, by the cares and riches and pleasures are choked out, and bring forth no fruit to perfection. ¹⁵ And that which is in the good ground, are those whosoever hearing the word in a beautiful and good heart, retain it, and bring forth fruit with patience. ¹⁶ But no one having lighted a candle covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a bed; but he places it on a candlestick, in order that those coming in may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hidden which shall not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, which may not be made known and come into the light. ¹⁸ Therefore see how you hear: for whosoever may have, it shall be given unto him; and whosoever may not have, it shall be taken from him, even that which he seems to have. ¹⁹ And His mother and His brothers came to Him, and were not able to reach Him on account of the crowd. ²⁰ And it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, wishing to see thee. ²¹ And He responding said to them, My mother and my brothers are the ones hearing the word of God, and doing it. ²² And it came to pass on one of the days, He and His disciples went into a ship. And He said to them, Let us go to the other side of the lake. And they were embarked. ²³ And they sailing, He was asleep: and a storm of wind came down into the lake; and they were being filled, and imperiled. ²⁴ And they having come to Him, awakened Him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And He having arisen, rebuked the wind and the wave of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And He said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, because He commands the winds and the water, and they obey Him? ²⁶ And they sailed into the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee. ²⁷ And a certain man from the city, who a long time had demons, and did not wear clothing, and did not remain in the house, but in the tombs; met Him having come to the land. ²⁸ And seeing Jesus, and crying out, he worshiped Him, and said with a loud voice; What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I pray thee torment me not. ²⁹ For He commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for since a long time he had possessed him, and he was frequently bound, secured with chains and fetters, and smashing his bonds, was driven by the demons into the desert. ³⁰ And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said Legion; because many demons entered into him. ³¹ And he continued to intreat Him that He should not command them to depart into the abyss. ³² And there was a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain: and they continued to intreat Him that He should permit them to go into them. And He permitted them. ³³ And the demons having come out from the man, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down a precipice into the sea, and were strangled. ³⁴ And the herders seeing that which took place, fled, and proclaimed it in the city and in the country. ³⁵ And they came out to see that which had happened; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had gone, clothed and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus: and they were afraid. ³⁶ And those seeing reported to them how the demonized man was saved. ³⁷ And all the multitudes of the surrounding country of the Gergesenes, asked Him to depart from them; because they were seized with great fear. And He having come Into the ship, returned. ³⁸ And the man out of whom the demons had gone prayed to be with Him. And Jesus sent him away, saying, ³⁹ Return to thy own house, and relate, how many things God has done unto thee. And he departed throughout the whole city, preaching how many things Jesus did unto him. ⁴⁰ And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the multitude received Him; for they were all looking for Him. ⁴¹ Behold, a man to whom was the name Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he continued to intreat Him to come into his house; ⁴² for there was an only daughter to him, of twelve years, and she was dying. And while He was going the multitudes were thronging Him. ⁴³ And a woman being in an issue of blood twelve years, who having expended all her living with physicians, was not able to be healed by any of them, ⁴⁴ and having come to Him behind, she touched the hem of His garment: and immediately the issue of blood ceased. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who is the one having touched me? And all denying, Peter and the disciples with Him said, The multitudes crowd thee and press upon thee, and dost thou say, Who is the one having touched me? ⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Some one touched me: for I know the power went out from me. ⁴⁷ And the woman seeing that she was not concealed, came trembling, and falling down before Him, proclaimed on account of what cause she touched Him, in the presence of all the people, and how she was healed immediately. ⁴⁸ And He said to her, Be of good cheer, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. ⁴⁹ And He yet speaking, a certain one comes from the house of the chief ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher: ⁵⁰ and Jesus hearing, responded to him, saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be saved. ⁵¹ And having come to the house, He did not suffer any to enter except Peter, John, and James, and the father and mother of the child. ⁵² And they were all weeping, and wailing over her: and He said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. ⁵³ And they hooted at Him, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ And having put all out, taking her by the hand, He spoke, saying, Child, arise. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she stood up immediately. And He commanded that something should be given to her to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were delighted: and He commanded them to tell no one that which had taken place.

⁶ But it is this, he that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully.

²² Having purified your souls through obedience of the truth unto unhypocritical, brotherly love, fervently from the heart love one another with divine love: ²³ having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, who lives and abides. ²⁴ Therefore all flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass: the grass is withered, and the flower fell off; ²⁵ but the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word which has been preached unto you.

³⁶ Thou foolish one, that which thou sowest, is not quickened unless it may die; ³⁷ and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but naked grain, if it may happen to be of wheat, or of some one of the other grains; ³⁸ but God gives it a body as he wished; and to each of the seeds its own body.

³⁸ but God gives it a body as he wished; and to each of the seeds its own body.

¹ On that day Jesus having come out from the house, was sitting by the sea: ² and many multitudes were gathered unto Him, so that having gone into a ship, He sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. ³ And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went out to sow. ⁴ And while he was sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and ate them up. ⁵ And others fell among stones, where they had not much earth: and sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of earth: ⁶ and the sun having risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. ⁷ But others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them. ⁸ But others fell in good ground, and gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty. ⁹ Let him that hath ears to hear, hear. ¹⁰ And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables? ¹¹ He responding said to them, Because it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given. ¹² But whosoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have more abundantly: but whosoever has not, it shall be taken from him even what he has. ¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. ¹⁴ And the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled unto them, saying, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may not perceive. ¹⁵ Because the heart of this people is waxed gross, and they heard heavily with their ears, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I shall heal them. ¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. ¹⁷ Truly I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see those things which you see, and saw them not; and to hear those things which you hear, and heard them not. ¹⁸ Therefore hear ye the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ Every one hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding it, the wicked one comes, and seizes away that which is sown in his heart: he is the one sown by the wayside. ²⁰ But the one sown upon the rocks, is he who heareth the word, and immediately with joy receives it; ²¹ but it has no root in him, but is temporary; and tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, immediately he is offended. ²² But the one sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word; and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke out the word, and he becomes unfruitful. ²³ And the one having been sown on good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly bears fruit, and produces, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty. ²⁴ He put forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man sowing good seed in his field. ²⁵ And while the men slept, an enemy came, and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and departed. ²⁶ And when the blades sprang up, and produced fruit, then the tares were also made manifest. ²⁷ And the servants of the landlord having come to him said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? whence then hath it tares? ²⁸ And he said to them, A hostile man did this. And the servants say to him, Then do you wish that we, having gone, may gather them? ²⁹ And he says, No; lest gathering the tares together you may at the same time along with them root up the wheat. ³⁰ Let both grow together till the harvest: and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, First gather the tares, and bind them in bundles, in order to burn them: and gather the wheat into my barn. ³¹ And He submitted another parable to them, saying; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which, a man having taken, sowed in his field; ³² which indeed is the smallest of all seeds; and when it grows up, is the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven indeed lodge in its branches. ³³ And he spake another parable unto them; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto the leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. ³⁴ Jesus spoke all of these things to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He was not speaking to them: ³⁵ in order that the word spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables: I will make known the things which have been hidden from the foundation. ³⁶ Then leaving the multitudes, He came into the house: and His disciples came to Him saying; Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. ³⁷ And He responding said, The one sowing 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; and the tares are the sons of the wicked one, ³⁹ and the enemy sowing them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are the angels. ⁴⁰ Then as the tares are gathered and burnt up with fire; so it will be in the end of the age. ⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity, ⁴² and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. But let the one having ears, hear. ⁴⁴ The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a treasure having been hidden in a field; which a man having found, concealed; and from his joy he goes and sells all things so many as he has, and buys that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man seeking beautiful pearls: ⁴⁶ and having found one pearl of great price, having gone away he sold all things, so many as he had, and bought it. ⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a net cast into the sea, and gathering of every kind; ⁴⁸ which, when it was filled, drawing up on the shore, and sitting down, they gathered the good into baskets, and threw the bad away. ⁴⁹ So it will be in 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 the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁵¹ Do you understand all these things? They say to Him, Yea. ⁵² And He said to them, Therefore every scribe having been discipled into the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man who is a landlord, who bringeth out of his treasure things both new and old. ⁵³ And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, He departed thence. ⁵⁴ And having come into His own country He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence this wisdom and these miracles unto Him? ⁵⁵ Is not He the son of the carpenter? is not His mother called Mary? are not His brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ And are not His sisters all here with us? Whence then are these things to Him? ⁵⁷ And they were offended in Him. 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 many mighty works there on account of their unbelief.
