Matthew 13

13The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.G1161G1722G1565G2250G1831G2424G575G3614G2521G3844G22812And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.G2532G4183G3793G4863G4314G846G5620G846G1684G1519G4143G2521G2532G3956G3793G2476G1909G1233And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;G2532G2980G4183G846G1722G3850G3004G2400G4687G1831G46874And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:G2532G1722G846G4687G3739G3303G4098G3844G3598G2532G4071G2064G2532G2719G846G27195Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:G1161G243G4098G1909G4075G3699G2192G3756G4183G1093G2532G2112G1816G1223G2192G3361G899G10936And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.G1161G2246G393G2739G2532G1223G2192G3361G4491G35837And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:G1161G243G4098G1909G173G2532G173G305G2532G638G8468But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.G1161G243G4098G1909G2570G1093G2532G1325G2590G3739G3303G1540G1161G3739G1835G1161G3739G51449Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.G3588G2192G3775G191G19110And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?G2532G3101G4334G2036G846G1302G2980G846G1722G385011He 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.G611G1161G2036G846G3754G1325G5213G1097G3466G932G3772G1161G1565G1325G3756G132512For 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.G1063G3748G2192G846G1325G2532G4052G1161G3748G2192G3756G575G846G142G2532G3739G219213Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.G1223G5124G2980G846G1722G3850G3754G991G991G3756G2532G191G191G3756G3761G492014And 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:G2532G1909G846G378G4394G2268G3588G3004G189G191G2532G4920G3364G4920G2532G991G991G2532G1492G3364G149215For 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.G1063G5127G2992G2588G3975G2532G3775G917G191G2532G846G3788G2576G3379G1492G3788G2532G191G3775G2532G4920G2588G2532G1994G2532G2390G84616But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.G1161G3107G5216G3788G3754G991G2532G5216G3775G3754G19117For 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.G1063G281G3004G5213G3754G4183G4396G2532G1342G1937G1492G3739G991G2532G1492G3756G1492G2532G191G3739G191G2532G191G3756G19118Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.G191G5210G3767G3850G468719When 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.G3956G191G3056G932G2532G4920G3361G2064G4190G2532G726G3588G4687G1722G846G2588G3778G2076G4687G3844G359820But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;G1161G4687G1909G4075G3778G2076G191G3056G2532G2117G3326G5479G2983G84621Yet 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.G1161G2192G3756G4491G1722G1438G235G2076G4340G1161G2347G2228G1375G1096G1223G3056G2117G462422He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.G1161G4687G1519G173G2076G3778G191G3056G2532G3308G5127G165G2532G539G4149G4846G3056G2532G1096G17523But 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.G1161G4687G1909G2570G1093G2076G3778G191G3056G2532G4920G3739G1211G2592G2532G4160G3739G3303G1540G1161G3739G1835G1161G3739G514424Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:G243G3850G3908G846G3004G932G3772G3666G444G4687G4687G2570G4690G1722G846G6825But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.G1161G1722G444G2518G846G2190G2064G2532G4687G2215G303G3319G4621G2532G56526But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.G1161G3753G5528G985G2532G4160G2590G5119G5316G2215G253227So 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?G1161G1401G3617G4334G2036G846G2962G4687G3780G4687G2570G4690G1722G4674G68G4159G3767G2192G221528He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?G1161G5346G846G2190G444G4160G5124G1161G1401G2036G846G2309G3767G565G4816G846G481629But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.G1161G5346G3756G3379G4816G2215G1610G4621G260G84630Let 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.G863G297G4885G3360G2326G2532G1722G2540G2326G2046G2327G4816G4412G2215G2532G1210G846G1519G1197G4314G2618G846G1161G4863G4621G1519G3450G59631Another 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:G243G3850G3908G846G3004G932G3772G2076G3664G2848G4615G3739G444G2983G4687G1722G846G6832Which 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.G3739G3303G2076G3398G3956G4690G1161G3752G837G2076G3187G3001G2532G1096G1186G5620G4071G3772G2064G2532G2681G1722G2798G84633Another 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.G243G3850G2980G846G932G3772G2076G3664G2219G3739G1135G2983G1470G1519G5140G4568G224G2193G3650G3739G222034All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:G3956G5023G2980G2424G3793G1722G3850G2532G5565G3850G2980G3756G84635That 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.G3704G4137G3588G4483G1223G4396G3004G455G3450G4750G1722G3850G2044G2928G575G2602G288936Then 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.G5119G2424G863G3793G863G2064G1519G3614G2532G846G3101G4334G846G3004G5419G2254G3850G2215G6837He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;G611G1161G2036G846G4687G2570G4690G2076G5207G44438The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;G1161G68G2076G2889G1161G2570G4690G3778G1526G5207G932G1161G2215G1526G5207G419039The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.G1161G2190G4687G846G2076G1228G1161G2326G2076G4930G165G1161G2327G1526G3240As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.G5618G3767G2215G4816G2532G2618G4442G3779G2071G1722G4930G5127G16541The 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;G5207G444G649G846G32G2532G4816G1537G846G932G3956G4625G2532G4160G45842And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.G2532G906G846G1519G2575G4442G1563G2071G2805G2532G1030G359943Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.G5119G1342G1584G5613G2246G1722G932G846G3962G3588G2192G3775G191G19144Again, 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.G3825G932G3772G2076G3664G2344G2928G1722G68G3739G444G2147G2928G2532G575G5479G846G5217G2532G4453G3956G3745G2192G2532G59G1565G6845Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:G3825G932G3772G2076G3664G1713G444G2212G2570G313546Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.G3739G2147G1520G3135G4186G565G4097G3956G3745G2192G2532G59G84647Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:G3825G932G3772G2076G3664G4522G906G1519G2281G2532G4863G1537G3956G108548Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.G3739G3753G4137G307G1909G123G2532G2523G4816G2570G1519G30G1161G906G4550G185449So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,G3779G2071G1722G4930G165G32G1831G2532G873G4190G1537G3319G134250And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.G2532G906G846G1519G2575G4442G1563G2071G2805G2532G1030G359951Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.G2424G3004G846G4920G3956G5023G3956G3004G846G3483G296252Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.G1161G2036G846G1223G5124G3956G1122G3100G1519G932G3772G2076G3664G444G3617G3748G1544G1537G846G2344G2537G2532G382053And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.G2532G1096G3753G2424G5055G5025G3850G3332G156454And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?G2532G2064G1519G846G3968G1321G846G1722G846G4864G5620G846G1605G2532G3004G4159G5129G3778G4678G2532G141155Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?G2076G3756G3778G5045G5207G3004G3780G846G3384G3004G3137G2532G846G80G2385G2532G2500G2532G4613G2532G245556And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?G2532G846G79G1526G3780G3956G4314G2248G4159G3767G5129G3956G502357And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.G2532G4624G1722G846G1161G2424G2036G846G4396G2076G3756G820G1508G1722G846G3968G2532G1722G846G361458And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.G2532G4160G3756G4183G1411G1563G1223G846G570

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
