The Gospel According to
 ST. MATTHEW.
CHAPTER 13,

he went Into a snip, ana SHL; ali
 the whole multitude stood OH th , shore.
 3. And he spake many things un to them in parables, saying, Beho!t : sower went forth to SOW;
 4. And when he sowed, some seed
 fell by the way side, and the fowl came and devoured them up. }. Some fell upon stony places
 where they had not much earth: an
 forthwith they sprung up, bccaus they had not deepness of earth: II 6. And when the sun was up, the were scorched; and because they hat no roots, they withered away.
 2. And some fell among thOrEs and the thorns sprung up, and chock ed them
 s. But others fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some ar hundred fold, some sixty fold, some thirty fold.
 g. Who hath ears to hear, let hin hear.
 10. And the disciples came, ane said unto him, Why speakest thou un to them in parahles?
 il. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the king dom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
 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 that SC hath.
 13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not neither do they understand. H. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shalr hear, and shall not and shall not perceive: 15. For this peoples 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 con- verted, and I should heal them.
 16. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they | hear.
 l IT. For verify 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
 1S Hear ye therefore the parable of the sOwer. I
 19. When any one hearet 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.
 20. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he thai heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
 21, Yet hath he not root in himself but dureth for a while: for when tri' bulatiol or persecution ariseth be- cause of the word, by and by he is offered
 22. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hearetf | the word; and the care of thls word; and the care of this world and the decietfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruit full
 2S. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hearetf | the word, and understandeth 1t which also beareth fruit, and bring eth forth, some an hundredfold, som' sixty, some thirty.
 l 1>y N,,f hn unto them, saying, The kingdom o heaven is likened unto man whicl sowed good seed in his field: 25. But while men slept, his enem! came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. { 26. But when the blade wal l sprung up, and brought forth fruit | then appeared the tares also. 27. So the servants of the house holder came and said unto him, Sir didst not thou SOW good seed in tn! field? from whence then hath l l tares?
 2s. He said unto them, An ea2m. hath done this. The servants sai' unto him, Wilt thou then that we g and gather them up? 1 29. But he sald, Nay; leSt Whie y gather up the tares, ye root up als' the wheat with them.
 l 30. Let both grow together unti the harvest: and in the time o harvest I will say to reapers, Gathe ye together first the tares, and bin them in bundles to burn them: bu gather the wheat into my barn.
 31. Another parable put he fort
 unto them, saying, The kingdom o
 heaven is like to grain of mustar seed, which d man took, and sowe in his field.
 T 32. Which indeed is the least 0 : all seed: but when it is grown, 1t
 the greatest among herbs and becom eth a tree, so that the birds of tn l air come and lodge in the branche : thereof.
 :. 33. Another parable spake he unt 3 them The kingdom of heaven is lik 5 uto leaven, which woman took, an } hid in three measures of meal, til
 the whole was leavened ;, 34. All these things spake Jesu unto the multitude in parables; an !. without a parable spake he not unt
