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-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?

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, "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 less 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.

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 "cockles-tares-darn-ell" 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-darn-ell" 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-darn-ell" 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 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 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.
