(6) And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Matthew
13
(7) And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Matthew
13
(8) But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Matthew
13
(9) Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew
13
(10) And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Matthew
13
(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.
Matthew
13
(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.
Matthew
13
(13) Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Matthew
13
(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:
Matthew
13
(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,
Matthew
13
(16) But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Matthew
13
(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.
Matthew
13
(18) Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
Matthew
13
(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.
Matthew
13
(20) But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Matthew
13
(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.
Matthew
13
(22) He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hereth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Matthew
13
(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.
Matthew
13
(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:
Matthew
13
(25) But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
