Speaker 1 (00:00):
Matthew chapter thirteen. The same day went Jesus out of
the house and sat by the sea side, and great
multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went
into a ship and sat, and the whole multitude stood
on the shore. And he spake many things unto them
in parables, saying, behold, a sower went forth to sow,

(00:24):
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside,
and the fowls came and devoured them up. Some fell
upon stony places, where they had not much earth, and
forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth.
And when the sun was up they were scorched. And
because they had no root, they withered away. And some

(00:46):
fell among thorns, and the thorns sprung up and choked them.
But other fell into good ground and brought forth fruit,
some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears
to hear, let him hear. And the disciples came and
said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

(01:10):
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. For whosoever hath
to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance.
But whosover hath not from him shall be taken away,
even that he hath. Therefore, speak I to them in parables,

(01:32):
because they seeing see not, and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the
prophecy of is eyes which saith. By hearing, ye shall
hear and shall not understand. And seeing ye shall see
and shall not perceive. For this people's heart is waxed gross,

(01:53):
and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes
that they have closed. Lest at any time they shall
see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and
should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and
I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for
they see, and your ears for they hear. For verily

(02:15):
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 hear Ye. Therefore
the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the
word of the Kingdom and understandeth it. Not then cometh

(02:38):
the wicked one and catteth away that which was sown
in his heart. This is he which received seed by
the wayside. But he that received the seed into stony places,
the same as he that heareth the word and anon
with joy receiveth it. Yet hath he not root in himself,
but dureth for a while, For when tribulation or persecution ariseth,

(02:59):
because the word, by and by he is offended. 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.
But he that received seed into the good ground is
he that heareth the word and understandeth it, which also

(03:22):
beareth fruit, and bringeth forth some an hundredfold, some sixty,
some thirty. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying,
the kingdom of Heaven is likened unto a man which
sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept,
his enemy came and sowed tears among the wheat, and
went his way. But when the blade was sprung up

(03:44):
and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tears Also so
the servants of the householder came and said, unto him, Sir,
didst not thou so good seed in thy field? From
whence then hath it tears? He said, unto them, an
enemy hath done this. The servant said, unto him, wilt
thou then that we go and gather them up? But

(04:07):
he said, nay, lest while ye gather up the tears,
ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both
grow together until the harvest. And in the time of harvest,
I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first
the tears, and bind them in bundles to burn them.
But gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable put

(04:29):
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, which indeed is the
least of all seeds. But when it has 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 another parable spake he unto them, the

(04:53):
Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven which a woman
took and hid in three measures of meal, till the
whole was leavened. All these things spake Jesus unto the
multitude in parables, and without a parable spake he not
unto them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables,

(05:15):
I will utter things which have been kept secret from
the foundation of the world. Then Jesus sent the multitude
away and went into the house, and his disciples came
unto him, saying, declare unto us the parable of the
tears of the field. He answered, and said, unto them,
He thus soreth the good seed is the son of Man,

(05:37):
The field is the world. The good seed are the
children of the kingdom. But the tears are the children
of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is
the devil. The harvest is the end of the world,
and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tears
are gathered and burned in the fire, So shall it

(05:58):
be in the end of this world. The 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, and shall cast them into a furnace
of fire, there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the right to shine forth as the sun
in the kingdom of their father. Who hath ears to hear,

(06:22):
let him hear again. 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 again.
The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a merchantman seeking
goodly pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of

(06:45):
great price, went and sold all that he had and
bought it again. The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto
a net that was cast into the sea and gathered
of every kind, which when it was full, they drew
to shore and so down, and gathered the good into vessels,
but cast the bad way. So shall it be at

(07:07):
the end of the world. The angels shall come forth
and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall
cast them into the furnace of fire. There shall be
wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jesus saith unto them, have
ye understood all these things? They say? Unto him? Yea lord,

(07:27):
then 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. And it came to pass
that when Jesus had finished these parables he departed thence,
and when he was come into his own country, he

(07:49):
taught them in their synagogue insomuch that they were astonished,
and said, whence hath this man this wisdom and these
mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son, is not
his mother called Mary, and his brethren James and Joseph,
and Simon and Judas and his sisters? Are they not
all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

(08:13):
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said, unto them.
A prophet is not without honor save in his own
country and in his own house. And he did not
many mighty works there because of their unbelief
