13:1
On the day that going out of Jesus of the house sat beside the sea 2
and were assembled to him crowds many, so as him in a ship embarking to
sit, and all the crowd on the beach stood. 3 And he spoke to them many
things in parables saying; Behold went out the one sowing to sow 4 And in
the to sow him some indeed fell beside the way and coming the birds
devoured them. 5 But others fell on the rocky places where not it had earth
much, and immediately it sprang up on account of not to have depth of
earth; 6 the sun But having risen it was scorched, and on account of the
not to have root it was dried up. 7 But others fell on the thorns, and came
up the thorns and choked them. 8 And others fell on the earth the good and
gave fruit, the one a hundred, the other sixty, the other thirty. 9 The one
having ears let him hear. 10
(Note:
2nd part re explanation of sower and seeds)
And
approaching the disciples said to him: Why in parables speakest thou to
them? 11 And he answering said: Because to you it has been given to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those it has not been
given. 12 He who for has, it will be given to him and he will have
abundance; but he who has not, even what he has will be taken from him. 13
Therefore in parables to them I speak, because seeing they see not and
hearing they hear not neither understand. 14 And is fulfilled in them the
prophecy

of
Isaiah saying:In hearing ye will hear and by no means understand and seeing
ye will see and by no means perceive. 15 For waxed gross the heart people
of this, and with the ears heavily they heard, an the eyes of them they
closed; lest they see with the eyes and with the ears hear and with the
heart understand and turn back and I will heal them. 16 But of you blessed
the eyes because they see, and the ears of you because they hear. 17 truly
For I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the
things which ye see and did not see, and to hear the things which ye hear
and did not hear. 18 ye therefore hear the parable of the sowing one. 19
Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding come the
evil one and seizes the thing having been sown in the heart of him; this is
the word by the way sown, the 20 word And on the rocky places sown, this is
the one the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it: 21 but he
has not root in himself but short-lived is and occurring tribulation or
persecution on account of the crowd immediately he is offended. 22 But the
word in the thorns sown, this is the one the word hearing, and the anxiety
of the age and the deceit of riches chokes the word, and unfruitful it
becomes. 23 And the word on the good earth sown, this is the one the
word hearing and understanding, who indeed bears fruit and produces one
indeed a hundred, the other sixty, the other thirty.
