< Matthew 13 >

1 The same daye wet Iesus out of ye house and sat by the seesyde
The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 and moch people resorted vnto him so gretly yt he wet and sat in a shippe and all the people stode on ye shoore.
And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And he spake many thynges to the in similitudes sayinge: Beholde ye sower wet forth to sowe.
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 And as he sowed some fell by ye wayessyde and the fowlles came and devoured it vp.
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
5 Some fell apo stony groude where it had not moche erth and a none it sproge vp because it had no depth of erth:
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 and when ye sunne was vp it cauht heet and for lake of rotynge wyddred awaye.
And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Some fell amoge thornes and the thornes sproge vp and chooked it.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 Parte fell in good groud and brought forth good frute: some an hudred fold some sixtie fold some thyrty folde.
But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came and sayde to him: Why speakest thou to the in parables?
And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geve vnto you to knowe ye secretes of the kyngdome of heve but to the it is not geve.
He answered and said to them, Because it is given to 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 geven: and he shall have aboundance. But whosoever hath not: fro hym shalbe takyn awaye even that he hath.
For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
13 Therfore speake I to them in similitudes: for though they se they se not: and hearinge they heare not: nether vnderstonde.
Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in the is fulfilled ye Prophesie of Esayas which prophesie sayth: with the eares ye shall heare and shall not vnderstonde and with the eyes ye shall se and shall not perceave.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this peoples hertes are wexed grosse and their eares were dull of herynge and their eyes have they closed lest they shulde se with their eyes and heare with their eares and shuld vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld tourne that I myght heale them.
For this people’s heart has become dull, and their ears are hard 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 youre eyes for they se: and youre eares for they heare.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 Verely I say vnto you that many Prophetes and perfaicte me have desired to se tho thinges which ye se and have not sene the: and to heare tho thinges which ye heare and have not herde the.
For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Heare ye therfore ye similitude of the sower.
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 Whosoever heareth the worde of ye kingdome and vnderstondeth it not ther cometh the evyll ma and catcheth awaye yt which was sowne in his hert. And this is he which was sowne by the wayesyde.
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 who received seed by the way side.
20 But he yt was sowne in ye stony groude is he which heareth the worde of God and anone wt ioye receaveth it
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
21 yet hath he no rottes in him selfe and therfore dureth but a season: for assone as tribulacion or persecucion aryseth because of the worde by and by he falleth.
Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, immediately he is offended.
22 He yt was sowne amoge thornes is he yt heareth ye worde of God: but the care of this worlde and the dissaytfulnes of ryches choke ye worde and so is he made vnfrutfull. (aiōn g165)
He 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. (aiōn g165)
23 He which is sowne in ye good grounde is he yt heareth ye worde and vnderstodeth it which also bereth frute and bringeth forth some an. C. folde some sixtie folde and some. xxx. folde.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Another similitude put he forth vnto the sayinge: The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a man which sowed good seed in his felde.
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
25 But whyll men slepte ther came his foo and sowed tares amoge ye wheate and wet his waye.
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 When ye blade was sproge vp and had brought forth frute the appered ye tares also.
But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 The servauntes came to the housholder and sayde vnto him: Syr sowedest not thou good seed in thy closse fro whece the hath it tares?
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? how then hath it tares?
28 He sayde to the the envious ma hath done this. Then ye servauntes sayde vnto him: wilt thou then yt we go and gader them?
He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he sayde nay lest whill ye go aboute to wede out ye tares ye plucke vppe also wt them ye wheate by ye rottes:
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 let bothe growe to gether tyll harvest come and in tyme of harvest I wyll saye to the repers gather ye fyrst ye tares and bind the in sheves to be bret: but gather the wheete into my barne.
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 he put forthe vnto the sayinge. The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a grayne of mustard seed which a ma taketh and soweth in his felde
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 which is ye leest of all seedes. But when it is groune it is the greatest amoge yerbes and it is a tree: so yt the bryddes of the ayer come and bylde in the brauches of it.
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 on its branches.
33 Another similitude sayde he to them. The kyngdome of heven is lyke vnto leve which a woman taketh and hydeth in. iii. peckes of meele tyll all be levended.
Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 All these thynge spake Iesus vnto the people by similitudes and with oute similitudes spake he nothinge to them
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
35 to fulfyll that which was spoke by the Prophet sayinge: I wyll ope my mouth in similitudes and wyll speake forth thinges which have bene kepte secrete from the begynninge of the worlde.
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 sent Iesus ye people awaye and came to housse. And his disciples came vnto him sayinge: declare vnto vs the similitude of the tares of the felde.
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us the meaning of the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Then answered he and sayde to them. He that soweth the good seed is the sonne of man.
He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 And ye felde is the worlde. And the chyldre of the kingdome they are ye good seed. And the tares are the chyldren of ye wicked.
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 And the enemye that soweth the is ye devell. The harvest is ye end of the worlde. And the repers be ye angels. (aiōn g165)
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 For eve as the tares are gaddred and bret in ye fyre: so shall it be in ye ende of this worlde. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 The sonne of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kyngdome all thinges that offende and them which do iniquite
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
42 and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre. There shalbe waylynge and gnasshing of teth.
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the iuste men shyne as bryght as the sunne in ye kyngdome of their father. Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto treasure hidde in the felde ye which a man fyndeth and hideth: and for ioy therof goeth and selleth all that he hath and byeth that felde.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and from joy over it goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a marchaunt that seketh good pearles
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking fine pearls:
46 which when he had founde one precious pearle wet and solde all that he had and bought it.
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Agayne the kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a neet cast into ye see yt gadereth of all kyndes of fysshes:
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 which whe it is full men drawe to londe and sitte and gadre the good into vessels and cast the bad awaye.
Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
49 So shall it be at the ende of the worlde. The angels shall come oute and sever the bad from the good (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre: there shalbe waylinge and gnasshynge of teth.
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Iesus sayde vnto them: vnderstonde ye all these thynges? They sayde ye Lorde.
Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
52 The sayde he vnto them: Therfore every scribe which is taught vnto the kyngdome of heve is lyke an housholder which bryngeth forth out of hys treasure thynges bothe new and olde.
Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is an householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 And it came to passe when Iesus had finisshed these similitudes yt he departed thece
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 and came in to his awne coutre and taught them in their synagoges in so moche yt they were astonyed and sayde: whece cometh all this wysdome and power vnto him?
And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, How hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre be called Iames and Ioses and Simo and Iudas?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And are not his susters all here wt vs? Whece hath he all these thynge.
And his sisters, are they not all with us? How then hath this man all these things?
57 And they were offended by him. The Iesus sayd to the a Prophet is not wt out honoure save in hys awne countre and amoge his awne kynne.
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he dyd not many miracles there for there vnbelefes sake.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
