Matthew 13
Matthew
  1. On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.  (Mark 4:1-12)
  2. And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.  (Luke 5:3;   Luke 8:4)
  3. Then He spoke many thing to them in parables, saying:  "Behold, a sower went out to sow.
  9. "He who has ears to hear let him hear!"  (Matt. 11:15; Matt. 13:43)
  12. "For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.  (John 15:2)
  13. "Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.  (John 9:39)
  14. "And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
      15. 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
      And seeing you will see and not perceive;  (Is. 6:9&10;   John 12:40)
  15. For the heart of this people has grown dull.
      16. Their ears are hard of hearing,
      And their eyes they have closed,
      Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,  (Heb. 5:11;   Luke 19:42)
      Lest they should understand with their heart and turn,
      So that I should heal them.'  (Acts 28:26&27)
  16. "But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;  (Luke 10:23&24)
  28. “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’  The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’
  29. “But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
  30. ‘Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”  (Matt. 3:12)
  31. Another parable he put forth to them, saying:  "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,"  (Luke 13:18&19)
  32. "which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."  (Ezek. 17:22 - 24;   31:3 - 9)
  33. Another parable He spoke to them:  "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened."
  34. All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,  (Ps. 78:2;   Mark 4:33&34)
  35. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
        36. "I will open My mouth in parables;
        I will utter things which have been kept secret
        from the foundation of the world."  (Ps. 78:2;   Eph. 3:9)
  36. Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house.  And His disciples came to Him, saying,  "Explain to us the parable of the tears of the field."
  37. He answered and said to them:  "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
  38. "The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.  (John 8:44)
  39. "The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.  (Rev. 14:15)
  40. "Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.
  41. "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,  (Matt. 18:7)
  42. "and will cast them into the furnace of fire.  There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
  43. "Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their father.  He who has ears to hear, let him hear!  (Dan. 12:3;    Matt. 13:9)    (*!*)
  44. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and  buys that field.  (Phil. 3:7&8;   Is. 55:1;   Prov. 3:15;   Prov. 4:7;   Prov. 23:23)    (*!*)
  45. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls,
  46. "who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
    (Prov. 2:4;   Prov. 3:14,   15;   Prov. 8:10;   Prov. 8:19)
  47. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,  (Matt. 22:9&10)
  48. "which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.
  49. "So it will be at the end of the age.  The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just,  (Matt. 25:32)
  50. "and cast them into the furnace of fire.  There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
  51. Jesus said to them, "Have you understood all these things?"  They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."
  52. Then He said to them, "Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old."
  53. Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.
  54. And when He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
  55. "Is this not the carpenter's son?  Is not His mother called Mary?  And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?  (John 2:12)
  56. "And His sisters, are they not all with us?  Where then did this Man get all these things?"
  57. So they were offended at Him.  But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honour except in his own country and in his own house."  (Matt. 11:6;   Luke 4:24;   John 4:44)
  58. And He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.  (Mark 6:5&6)
