Matt. xiii. 10-23.

20 But he that received the seed into

stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and

anon

with joy receiveth it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself,

but dureth for awhile: for

when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 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.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground, is he that

heareth the word, and understandeth it,

which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty.

Mark iv. 10-25.

16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately

receive it with gladness;

17 And have no root in themselves, and so

endure but for a time: afterward

when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

Mark iv. 10-25.

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear:

with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear, shall more be given.

25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

Luke viii. 9-18.

16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

18 Take heed therefore how ye hear:

for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

PARABLE OF THE TARES EXPLAINED.

Matt. xiii. 36-43.

36 And his disciples came us the parable of the tares of unto him, saying, Declare unto

the field*.

* See Vol. Ministry, p. 257.

37 He answered

Matt. xiii. 36-43.

and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it

SECTION XV.

PARABLES OF THE TREASURE, THE PEARL, AND THE NET. Matt. xiii. 44-52.

44 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.

45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman seeking goodly pearls: 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

47 Again, the kingdom of

heaven is like unto a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 51 Jesus saith unto them,
