the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh
unfruitful.
23
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and
understandeth
it;
which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty,
some thirty.
24
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man
which sowed good seed in his field:
25
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares
among the wheat, and went his way.
26
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
then appeared the tares also.
27
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir,
didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28
He said unto them,
An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them
up?
29
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather
ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my
barn.
31
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of
mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32
Which indeed is the least of all seeds:
but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the
air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
33
Another parable spake he unto them;
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a
woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34
All these things
spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35
That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I
will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36
Then Jesus sent
the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto
us the parable of the tares of the field.
37
He answered and said unto them,
He that soweth the good
seed is the Son of man;
38
The field is the world; 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 the devil; 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 shall it be in the end of this world.
41
The Son of man shall send forth
his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do
iniquity;
42
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to
hear, let him hear.
44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath
found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46
Who,
when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
