46
While he yet talked to the people, behold,
his
mother and his brethren stood without, desiring
to speak with him.
47
Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without,
desiring to speak with thee.
48
But he answered and said unto him that told him,
Who is my mother?
and who are my brethren?
49
And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said,
Behold
my mother and my brethren!
50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven,
the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
CHAPTER 13
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2
And great multitudes were
gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on
the shore.
3
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth
to sow;
4
And when he sowed, some
seeds
fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured
them up:
5
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung
up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and
because they had no root, they withered away.
7
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung
up, and choked them:
8
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold,
some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10
And the disciples came,
and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11
He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not
given.
12
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but
whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13
Therefore speak I to them
in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall
not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15
For this people’s heart is waxed
gross, and
their
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should
see with
their
eyes, and hear with
their
ears, and should understand with
their
heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them.
16
But blessed
are
your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for
they hear.
17
For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous
men
have desired to see
those things
which ye see, and have not seen
them;
and to hear
those things
which ye hear, and
have not heard
them.
18
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom,
and understandeth
it
not, then cometh the wicked
one,
and catcheth away that which was sown in
his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20
But he that received the seed into
stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21
Yet hath he
not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of
the word, by and by he is offended.
22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth
