LXX(EN)
[1]The same day, went Iesus out of the house, & sate by the sea syde [No book]
[2]And great multitudes were gathered together vnto hym, so greatly that he went and sate in a shippe, and the whole multitude stoode on the shore [No book]
[3]And he spake many thynges to them in parables, saying: Beholde, the sower went foorth to sowe [No book]
[4]And when he sowed, some seedes fell by the wayes side, and the fowles came, and deuoured them vp [No book]
[5]Some fell vpon stony places, where they had not much earth, and anone they sprong vp, because they had no depenesse of earth [No book]
[6]And when the sonne was vp, they caught heate, and because they had not roote, they wythered away [No book]
[7]Agayne, some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprong vp and choked them [No book]
[8]But some fell into good grounde, and brought foorth fruite, some an hundred folde, some sixtie folde, some thirtie folde [No book]
[9]Who hath eares to heare, let hym heare [No book]
[10]And the disciples came, and sayde vnto hym: Why speakest thou to them by parables [No book]
[11]He aunswered and sayde vnto them: because it is geuen vnto you, to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them, it is not geuen [No book]
[12]For whosoeuer hath, to hym shalbe geuen, and he shall haue more aboundaunce: But whosoeuer hath not, from hym shalbe taken away, euen that he hath [No book]
[13]Therfore speake I to them in parables: because they seeyng, see not: and hearyng, they heare not: neither do they vnderstande [No book]
[14]And in them is fulfylled the prophesie of Esaias, saying: by hearyng ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstande, and seeyng, ye shall see, & shall not perceaue [No book]
[15]For this peoples heart is waxed grosse, and their eares are dull of hearyng, and their eyes haue they closed: lest at any tyme they shoulde see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and shoulde vnderstande with their heart, & shoulde conuert, that I myght heale them [No book]
[16]But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your eares, for they heare [No book]
[17]Ueryly I say vnto you, that many prophetes and ryghteous men haue desired to see those thynges which ye see, and haue not seene: and to heare those thynges which ye heare, and haue not hearde [No book]
[18]Heare ye therfore the similitude of the sower [No book]
[19]When one heareth the worde of the kyngdome, and vnderstandeth it not, then commeth that euyll, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: this is he, which receaued seede by the way syde [No book]
[20]But he that receaued the seede into stony places, the same is he that heareth the worde, and anone with ioy, receaueth it [No book]
[21]Yet hath he not roote in hym selfe, but dureth for a season: for when tribulation or persecution aryseth because of the worde, by and by he is offended [No book]
[22]He also that receaued seede into the thornes, is he that heareth the worde: and the care of this worlde, and the disceiptfulnes of ryches, choke vp the worde, and so is he made vnfruitfull [No book]
[23]But he that receaued seede into the good grounde, is he that heareth the worde, and vnderstandeth it, which also beareth fruite: and bryngeth foorth, some an hundred folde, some sixtie folde, some thirtie folde [No book]
[24]Another parable put he foorth vnto them, saying: The kyngdome of heauen is likened vnto a man, which sowed good seede in his fielde [No book]
[25]But whyle men slept, his enemye came & sowed tares among the wheate, and went his way [No book]
[26]But when the blade was sprong vp, and had brought foorth fruite, then appeared the tares also [No book]
[27]So, the seruauntes of the housholder came, and sayde vnto hym. Sir, diddest not thou sowe good seede in thy fielde? from whence then hath it tares [No book]
[28]He sayde vnto them: the malicious man hath done this. The seruauntes sayde vnto hym: wylt thou then that we go, and gather them vp [No book]
[29]But he sayde, nay: lest whyle ye gather vp the tares, ye rote vp also the wheate with them [No book]
[30]Let both growe together vntyll the haruest: & in tyme of haruest, I wyl say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bynde them in bundels to burne them: but carrie the wheate into my barne [No book]
[31]Another parable put he foorth vnto them, saying. The kyngdome of heauen is like to a grayne of mustard seede, which a man toke & sowed in his fielde [No book]
[32]Which in dede is the least of all seedes: But when it is growen, it is the greatest among hearbes: and is a tree, so that the byrdes of the ayre come & make their nestes in the braunches therof [No book]
[33]Another parable spake he vnto them: The kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto leuen, which a woman taketh & hydeth in three peckes of meale, tyll all be leuened [No book]
[34]All these thynges spake Iesus vnto the people in parables: and without a parable spake he not vnto them [No book]
[35]That it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophete, that sayth: I wyll open my mouth in parables, I wyll speake foorth thynges which haue ben kept secrete from the foundation of the worlde [No book]
[36]Then Iesus sent the people away, & went into the house: And his disciples came vnto hym, saying: Declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of the fielde [No book]
[37]He aunswered and sayde vnto them: He that soweth the good seede, is the sonne of man [No book]
[38]The fielde, is the worlde: & the good seede, they are the childre of ye kingdom: the tares, are the chyldren of ye wicked [No book]
[39]The enemie that soweth them, is the deuyll: the haruest, is the ende of the worlde: the reapers, be the Angels [No book]
[40]Euen as the tares therfore, are gathered and brent in the fyre: so shall it be in the ende of this worlde [No book]
[41]The sonne of man shall sende foorth his Angels, and [they] shall gather out of his kyngdome, all thynges that offende, and them which do iniquitie [No book]
[42]And shall cast them into a furnesse of fyre: There shalbe waylyng and gnasshyng of teeth [No book]
[43]Then shall the ryghteous shine as the Sunne, in the kingdome of their father. Who hath eares to heare, let hym heare [No book]
[44]Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto treasure hyd in the fielde: the which a man hath founde, and hyd, and for ioy therof, goeth and selleth all that he hath, and byeth the fielde [No book]
[45]Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a marchaunt man, seekyng goodly pearles [No book]
[46]Which, when he founde one precious pearle, went and solde all that he had, and bought it [No book]
[47]Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of all kynde [No book]
[48]Which when it was full, men drewe to lande, and sat downe, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away [No book]
[49]So shall it be at the ende of the world: The Angels shall come foorth, and seuer the bad from among the iuste [No book]
[50]And shall cast them into a furnesse of fyre: there shalbe waylyng and gnasshyng of teeth [No book]
[51]Iesus sayth vnto them: haue ye vnderstande all these thynges? They say vnto hym: yea Lorde [No book]
[52]Then sayde he vnto them: Therfore, euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kyngdome of heauen, is lyke vnto a man that is an householder, whiche bryngeth foorth out of his treasure, thynges newe and olde [No book]
[53]And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these parables, he departed thence [No book]
[54]And when he came into his owne countrey, he taught them in their synagogues, in so much, that they were astonyed, and sayde: whence commeth this wysdome and powers vnto hym [No book]
[55]Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie? and his brethren, Iames, and Ioses, and Simon, and Iudas [No book]
[56]And are not all his sisters with vs? whence hath he then all these thynges [No book]
[57]And they were offended in hym. Iesus sayde vnto them: A prophete is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house [No book]
[58]And he did not many mightie workes there, because of their vnbeliefe [No book]
