While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to 47 speak to him. And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak 48 to thee. "But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? "And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, 50 and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren! "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by (2) the sea side. "And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and 3) all the multitude stood on the beach. "And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the (4 Sower went forth to sow; "and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured 5 them: "and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, 6 because they had no deepness of earth: "and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had 7 no root, they withered away.

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why (11) speakest thou unto them in parables? "And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not (12 given. "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. "Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they. see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they under(14 stand. "And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,

(15

By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand;

And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise per

ceive :

"For this people's heart is waxed gross,

And their ears are dull of hearing,

And their eyes they have closed;

Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart,

And should turn again,

And I should heal them.

16 "But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, (17) for they hear. "For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things 18 which ye hear, and heard them not. "Hear then ye the 19 parable of the sower.

"And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy. 21 receiveth it; "yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth (22 because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. "And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the 'world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field: "but while men slept, his enemy came

and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away. 26 'But when the blade sprang up, and brought forth fruit, (27) then appeared the tares also. "And the servants of the

householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares? 28 "And he said unto them, 'An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go (29 and gather them up? "But he saith, Nay; lest haply tares, ye root up the wheat with

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three 1measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto 35 them: "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

(36

I will open my mouth in parables ;

I will utter things hidden from the foundation of

the world.

Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us (37 the parable of the tares of the field. "And he answered

and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of 38 man; "and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the (39 sons of the evil one; "and the enemy that sowed them

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

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 filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away. "So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the 50 wicked from among the righteous, "and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Have ye understood all these things? They say unto (52) him, Yea. "And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
