MARK IV.

And he said unto them; | 16 Is a candle brought to put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a 22 candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was 17 any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23 If any man have ears to 24 hear, let him hear. And

he said unto them; Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you. 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.

MATTHEW XIII.

LUKE VIII.

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. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known, and 18 come abroad. 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.

Another parable put he forth | 26 unto them, saying; The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed 27 25 good seed in his field. But

while men slept, his enemy came, and sowed tares among 28 the wheat; and went his way. 26 But when the blade

MARK IV.

And he said; So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground, and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself, first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. 30 And he said; Whereunto

sprung up, and brought forth
fruit, then appeared the tares
27 also. So the servants of the 29
householder came and said
unto him; Sir, didst not
thou sow good seed in thy
field? from whence then
28 hath it tares? He said unto

them; An enemy hath done
this. The servants said un-
to him; Wilt thou then that 31
we go and gather them up?

shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustardseed, which, when it is sown

MARK IV.

in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth; 32 but when it is sown, it grow

29 But he said; Nay; lest, while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat 30 with them. Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will to the reapers; say Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bun-33 dles, to burn them; but gather the wheat into barn. my Another parable put 34 he forth unto them, saying; The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustardseed, which a man took and 32 sowed in his field. Which

31

indeed is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branch33 es thereof. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole 34 was leavened.· All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables, and without a parable spake he 35 not unto them; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying; "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world."

eth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake he not unto them; and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

MATTHEW XIII.

Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came unto him, saying; Declare 37 unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them; He that soweth the good seed is the 38 Son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of 39 the wicked one; the enemy, that sowed them, is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the 40 angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in 41 the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them 42 which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of 43 fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth, as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him 44 hear. 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 45 hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heav46 en is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls. But, when he had found one pearl of great price, he went and 47 sold all that he had, and bought it. Again, the kingdom

of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and 48 gathered of every kind; which, when it was full, they drew

to shore, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, 49 but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from 59 among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; 51 there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jesus

saith unto them; Have ye understood all these things? 52 They say unto him; Yea, Lord. Then said he unto them; Therefore every scribe, which is instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.

taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said; Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty 55 works? Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 and his sisters, are they not

all with us? whence then hath this man all these 57 things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them; A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his 58 own house. And he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at 4 him. But Jesus said unto them; A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hand upon a few sick folk, and healed 6 them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief.

And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee ; and when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel; Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware unto her; Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my And she went

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said; Give me here John Baptist's head 9 in a charger. And the king was sorry; nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given 10 her. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison. 24 kingdom.
