But he answered them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.

When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. Then he says, I will return into my house from which I came out, and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in, and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation.

Even so will it be also to this evil generation.  

While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood outside, seeking to speak to him. One said to him, Behold, your mother and your brethren stand outside, seeking to speak to you.  

While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood outside, seeking to speak to him. One said to him, Behold, your mother and your brethren stand outside, seeking to speak to you.  

He stretched out his hand toward his disciples and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside. The twelve were away, preaching the Proclamation throughout the villages and healing everywhere. Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach. He spoke to them many things in parables saying, Behold, a farmer went out to "so". As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them. Others fell on rocky ground where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up because they had no depth of earth. When the sun had risen, they were scorched; because they had no root, they withered away. Others fell among thorns: the thorns grew up and choked them. Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

The disciples came and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables?  

The disciples came and said to him, Why do you speak to them in parables?  

He answered them, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to "Thimb". For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, neither do they understand. In "Thimb" the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled which says, By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive: for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again; and I would heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear and did not hear them.  

But blessed are "Yore" eyes, for they see; and "Yore" ears, for they hear. For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which "yew" see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which "yew" hear, and did not hear them.  

Hear then the parable of the farmer. When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside. What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it; yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falters. What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

He set another parable before them saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed cockles tares darnel seeds also among the wheat, and went away. But when the blade sprang up and produced fruit, then the cockles tares darnel weeds appeared also. The servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these cockles tares darnel weeds come from?  

He set another parable before them saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed "cockles-tares-darn-ell" seeds also among the wheat, and went away. But when the blade sprang up and produced fruit, then the "cockles-tares-darn-ell" weeds appeared also. The servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these "cockles-tares-darn-ell" weeds come from?  

He said to them, An enemy has done this.  

He said to them, An enemy has done this.  

The servants asked him, Do you want us to go and gather them up"?   

The servants asked him, Do you want us to go and gather them up"?   

But he said, No, lest perhaps while you gather up the cockles tares darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together to the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, First, gather up the cockles tares darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.  

But he said, "Know"; lest perhaps while you gather up the "cockles-tares-darn-ell" weeds, you root up the "wheat-with-them". Let both grow together to the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, First gather up the "cockles-tares-darn-ell" weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into "my-barn".  

He set another parable before them saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; which indeed is lesser than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the "erbs", and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.

He spoke another parable to them. The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, not stopping before it was all leavened.

Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.

Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.

He answered them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the cockles tares darnel seeds are the children of the evil one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. As therefore the cockles tares darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause faltering, and those who do iniquity, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.  

Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls, who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.  

Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind, which when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away. So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Jesus said to them, Have you understood all these things”?

They answered him, Yes Lord.

He said to them, Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.

When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed and went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him. Coming into his own country, he Taught them in their synagogue. When the Sabbath had come, he began to Teach in the synagogue, so that they were astonished; and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Where did this man get these things? and What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands? Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, "Jo-sess", Judah, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us”?

They were offended at him, and said, Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, "Jo-sess", Simon, and Judas"? Are not all of his sisters with us"? Where then did this man get all of these things?

He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them. He marveled because of their unbelief.

He went around the villages Teaching.  

He went around the villages Teaching. He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics. He said to them, Wherever you enter into a house, stay there to the day you depart from there. Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city!

They went out and preached that people should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
