¹At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

KJVAt^G1722 that^G1565 time^G2540 Herod^G2264 the tetrarch^G5076 heard^G191^(G5656) of the fame^G189 of Jesus^G2424,

² and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto his^G846 servants^G3816, This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) John^G2491 the Baptist^G910; he^G846 is risen^G1453^(G5681) from^G575 the dead^G3498; and^G2532 therefore^G1223^G5124 mighty works^G1411 do shew forth themselves^G1754^(G5719) in^G1722 him^G846.

³ For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

KJVFor^G1063 Herod^G2264 had laid hold^G2902^(G5660) on John^G2491, and bound^G1210^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 put^G5087^(G5639) him in^G1722 prison^G5438 for^G1223 Herodias'^G2266 sake^G1223, his^G846 brother^G80 Philip's^G5376 wife^G1135.

⁴ For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

KJVFor^G1063 John^G2491 said^G3004^(G5707) unto him^G846, It is^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832^(G5748) for thee^G4671 to have^G2192^(G5721) her^G846.

⁵ When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he would^G2309^(G5723) have put^G615 him^G846 to death^G615^(G5658), he feared^G5399^(G5675) the multitude^G3793, because^G3754 they counted^G2192^(G5707) him^G846 as^G5613 a prophet^G4396.

⁶ But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

KJVBut^G1161 when Herod's^G2264 birthday^G1077 was kept^G71^(G5746), the daughter^G2364 of Herodias^G2266 danced^G3738^(G5662) before them^G1722^G3319, and^G2532 pleased^G700^(G5656) Herod^G2264.

⁷ Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

KJVWhereupon^G3606 he promised^G3670^(G5656) with^G3326 an oath^G3727 to give^G1325^(G5629) her^G846 whatsoever^G3739^G1437 she would ask^G154^(G5672).

⁸ She, being prompted by her mother, said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptizer.”

KJVAnd^G1161 she, being before instructed^G4264^(G5685) of^G5259 her^G846 mother^G3384, said^G5346^(G5748), Give^G1325^(G5628) me^G3427 here^G5602 John^G2491 Baptist's^G910 head^G2776 in^G1909 a charger^G4094.

⁹ The king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,

KJVAnd^G2532 the king^G935 was sorry^G3076^(G5681): nevertheless for^G1161^G1223 the oath's sake^G3727, and^G2532 them which sat with him at meat^G4873^(G5740), he commanded^G2753^(G5656) it to be given^G1325^(G5683) her.

¹⁰ and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

KJVAnd^G2532 he sent^G3992^(G5660), and beheaded^G607^(G5656) John^G2491 in^G1722 the prison^G5438.

¹¹ His head was brought on a platter and given to the young lady; and she brought it to her mother.

KJVAnd^G2532 his^G846 head^G2776 was brought^G5342^(G5681) in^G1909 a charger^G4094, and^G2532 given^G1325^(G5681) to the damsel^G2877: and^G2532 she brought^G5342^(G5656) it to her^G846 mother^G3384.

¹² His disciples came, took the body, and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.

KJVAnd^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101 came^G4334^(G5631), and took up^G142^(G5656) the body^G4983, and^G2532 buried^G2290^(G5656) it^G846, and^G2532 went^G2064^(G5631) and told^G518^(G5656) Jesus^G2424.

¹³ Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place apart. When the multitudes heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

KJVWhen^G2532 Jesus^G2424 heard^G191^(G5660) of it, he departed^G402^(G5656) thence^G1564 by^G1722 ship^G4143 into^G1519 a desert^G2048 place^G5117 apart^G2596^G2398: and^G2532 when the people^G3793 had heard^G191^(G5660) thereof, they followed^G190^(G5656) him^G846 on foot^G3979 out of^G575 the cities^G4172.

¹⁴ Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 went forth^G1831^(G5631), and saw^G1492^(G5627) a great^G4183 multitude^G3793, and^G2532 was moved with compassion^G4697^(G5675) toward^G1909 them^G846, and^G2532 he healed^G2323^(G5656) their^G846 sick^G732.

¹⁵ When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, “This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.”

KJVAnd^G1161 when it was^G1096^(G5637) evening^G3798, his^G846 disciples^G3101 came^G4334^(G5656) to him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), This is^G2076^(G5748) a desert^G2048 place^G5117, and^G2532 the time^G5610 is now^G2235 past^G3928^(G5627); send^G630 the multitude^G3793 away^G630^(G5657), that^G2443 they may go^G565^(G5631) into^G1519 the villages^G2968, and buy^G59^(G5661) themselves^G1438 victuals^G1033.

¹⁶ But Jesus said to them, “They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

KJVBut^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, They need^G5532 not^G3756 depart^G565^(G5629)^G2192^(G5719); give^G1325^(G5628) ye^G5210 them^G846 to eat^G5315^(G5629).

¹⁷ They told him, “We only have here five loaves and two fish.”

KJVAnd^G1161 they say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, We have^G2192^(G5719) here^G5602 but^G3756^G1508 five^G4002 loaves^G740, and^G2532 two^G1417 fishes^G2486.

¹⁸ He said, “Bring them here to me.”

KJV^G1161 He said^G2036^(G5627), Bring^G5342^(G5720) them^G846 hither^G5602 to me^G3427.

¹⁹ He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

KJVAnd^G2532 he commanded^G2753^(G5660) the multitude^G3793 to sit down^G347^(G5683) on^G1909 the grass^G5528, and^G2532 took^G2983^(G5631) the five^G4002 loaves^G740, and^G2532 the two^G1417 fishes^G2486, and looking up^G308^(G5660) to^G1519 heaven^G3772, he blessed^G2127^(G5656), and^G2532 brake^G2806^(G5660), and gave^G1325^(G5656) the loaves^G740 to his disciples^G3101, and^G1161 the disciples^G3101 to the multitude^G3793.

²⁰ They all ate and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.

KJVAnd^G2532 they did^G5315 all^G3956 eat^G5315^(G5627), and^G2532 were filled^G5526^(G5681): and^G2532 they took up^G142^(G5656) of the fragments^G2801 that remained^G4052^(G5723) twelve^G1427 baskets^G2894 full^G4134.

²¹ Those who ate were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

KJVAnd^G1161 they that had eaten^G2068^(G5723) were^G2258^(G5713) about^G5616 five thousand^G4000 men^G435, beside^G5565 women^G1135 and^G2532 children^G3813.

²² Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

KJVAnd^G2532 straightway^G2112 Jesus^G2424 constrained^G315^(G5656) his^G846 disciples^G3101 to get^G1684^(G5629) into^G1519 a ship^G4143, and^G2532 to go before^G4254^(G5721) him^G846 unto^G1519 the other side^G4008, while^G2193^G3739 he sent^G630 the multitudes^G3793 away^G630^(G5661).

²³ After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had sent^G630 the multitudes^G3793 away^G630^(G5660), he went up^G305^(G5627) into^G1519 a mountain^G3735 apart^G2596^G2398 to pray^G4336^(G5664): and^G1161 when the evening^G3798 was come^G1096^(G5637), he was^G2258^(G5713) there^G1563 alone^G3441.

²⁴ But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

KJVBut^G1161 the ship^G4143 was^G2258^(G5713) now^G2235 in the midst^G3319 of the sea^G2281, tossed^G928^(G5746) with^G5259 waves^G2949: for^G1063 the wind^G417 was^G2258^(G5713) contrary^G1727.

²⁵ In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea.

KJVAnd^G1161 in the fourth^G5067 watch^G5438 of the night^G3571 Jesus^G2424 went^G565^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, walking^G4043^(G5723) on^G1909 the sea^G2281.

²⁶ When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear.

KJVAnd^G2532 when the disciples^G3101 saw^G1492^(G5631) him^G846 walking^G4043^(G5723) on^G1909 the sea^G2281, they were troubled^G5015^(G5681), saying^G3004^(G5723)^G3754, It is^G2076^(G5748) a spirit^G5326; and^G2532 they cried out^G2896^(G5656) for^G575 fear^G5401.

²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”

KJVBut^G1161 straightway^G2112 Jesus^G2424 spake^G2980^(G5656) unto them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Be of good cheer^G2293^(G5720); it is^G1510^(G5748) I^G1473; be^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399^(G5737).

²⁸ Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Peter^G4074 answered^G611^(G5679) him^G846 and said^G2036^(G5627), Lord^G2962, if^G1487 it be^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771, bid^G2753^(G5657) me^G3165 come^G2064^(G5629) unto^G4314 thee^G4571 on^G1909 the water^G5204.

²⁹ He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), Come^G2064^(G5628). And^G2532 when Peter^G4074 was come down^G2597^(G5631) out of^G575 the ship^G4143, he walked^G4043^(G5656) on^G1909 the water^G5204, to go^G2064^(G5629) to^G4314 Jesus^G2424.

³⁰ But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

KJVBut^G1161 when he saw^G991^(G5723) the wind^G417 boisterous^G2478, he was afraid^G5399^(G5675); and^G2532 beginning^G756^(G5671) to sink^G2670^(G5745), he cried^G2896^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962, save^G4982^(G5657) me^G3165.

³¹ Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

KJVAnd^G1161 immediately^G2112 Jesus^G2424 stretched forth^G1614^(G5660) his hand^G5495, and caught^G1949^(G5633) him^G846, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, O thou of little faith^G3640, wherefore^G1519^G5101 didst thou doubt^G1365^(G5656)?

³² When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they^G846 were come^G1684^(G5631) into^G1519 the ship^G4143, the wind^G417 ceased^G2869^(G5656).

³³ Those who were in the boat came and worshiped him, saying, “You are truly the Son of God!”

KJVThen^G1161 they that were in^G1722 the ship^G4143 came^G2064^(G5631) and worshipped^G4352^(G5656) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Of a truth^G230 thou art^G1488^(G5748) the Son^G5207 of God^G2316.

³⁴ When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they were gone over^G1276^(G5660), they came^G2064^(G5627) into^G1519 the land^G1093 of Gennesaret^G1082.

³⁵ When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region and brought to him all who were sick;

KJVAnd^G2532 when the men^G435 of that^G1565 place^G5117 had knowledge^G1921^(G5631) of him^G846, they sent out^G649^(G5656) into^G1519 all^G3650 that^G1565 country round about^G4066, and^G2532 brought^G4374^(G5656) unto him^G846 all^G3956 that were^G2192^(G5723) diseased^G2560;

³⁶ and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. As many as touched it were made whole.

KJVAnd^G2532 besought^G3870^(G5707) him^G846 that^G2443 they might^G680 only^G3440 touch^G680^(G5672) the hem^G2899 of his^G846 garment^G2440: and^G2532 as many as^G3745 touched^G680^(G5662) were made perfectly whole^G1295^(G5681).

WEB·Matthew 13

¹On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.

KJV^G1161 The same^G1722^G1565 day^G2250 went^G1831^(G5631) Jesus^G2424 out of^G575 the house^G3614, and sat^G2521^(G5711) by^G3844 the sea side^G2281.

² Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

KJVAnd^G2532 great^G4183 multitudes^G3793 were gathered together^G4863^(G5681) unto^G4314 him^G846, so that^G5620 he^G846 went^G1684^(G5631) into^G1519 a ship^G4143, and sat^G2521^(G5738); and^G2532 the whole^G3956 multitude^G3793 stood^G2476^(G5715) on^G1909 the shore^G123.

³ He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

KJVAnd^G2532 he spake^G2980^(G5656) many things^G4183 unto them^G846 in^G1722 parables^G3850, saying^G3004^(G5723), Behold^G2400^(G5628), a sower^G4687^(G5723) went forth^G1831^(G5627) to sow^G4687^(G5721);

⁴ As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

KJVAnd^G2532 when^G1722 he^G846 sowed^G4687^(G5721), some^G3739^G3303 seeds fell^G4098^(G5627) by^G3844 the way side^G3598, and^G2532 the fowls^G4071 came^G2064^(G5627) and^G2532 devoured^G2719 them^G846 up^G2719^(G5627):

⁵ Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.

KJVSome^G1161^G243 fell^G4098^(G5627) upon^G1909 stony places^G4075, where^G3699 they had^G2192^(G5707) not^G3756 much^G4183 earth^G1093: and^G2532 forthwith^G2112 they sprung up^G1816^(G5656), because^G1223 they had^G2192^(G5721) no^G3361 deepness^G899 of earth^G1093:

⁶ When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

KJVAnd^G1161 when the sun^G2246 was up^G393^(G5660), they were scorched^G2739^(G5681); and^G2532 because^G1223 they had^G2192^(G5721) no^G3361 root^G4491, they withered away^G3583^(G5681).

⁷ Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.

KJVAnd^G1161 some^G243 fell^G4098^(G5627) among^G1909 thorns^G173; and^G2532 the thorns^G173 sprung up^G305^(G5627), and^G2532 choked^G638^(G5656) them^G846:

⁸ Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

KJVBut^G1161 other^G243 fell^G4098^(G5627) into^G1909 good^G2570 ground^G1093, and^G2532 brought forth^G1325^(G5707) fruit^G2590, some^G3739^G3303 an hundredfold^G1540,^G1161 some^G3739 sixtyfold^G1835,^G1161 some^G3739 thirtyfold^G5144.

⁹ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

KJVWho^G3588 hath^G2192^(G5723) ears^G3775 to hear^G191^(G5721), let him hear^G191^(G5720).

¹⁰ The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”

KJVAnd^G2532 the disciples^G3101 came^G4334^(G5631), and said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Why^G1302 speakest thou^G2980^(G5719) unto them^G846 in^G1722 parables^G3850?

¹¹ He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

KJVHe answered^G611^(G5679) and^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Because^G3754 it is given^G1325^(G5769) unto you^G5213 to know^G1097^(G5629) the mysteries^G3466 of the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772, but^G1161 to them^G1565 it is^G1325 not^G3756 given^G1325^(G5769).

¹² For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.

KJVFor^G1063 whosoever^G3748 hath^G2192^(G5719), to him^G846 shall be given^G1325^(G5701), and^G2532 he shall have more abundance^G4052^(G5701): but^G1161 whosoever^G3748 hath^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756, from^G575 him^G846 shall be taken away^G142^(G5701) even^G2532 that^G3739 he hath^G2192^(G5719).

¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 speak I^G2980^(G5719) to them^G846 in^G1722 parables^G3850: because^G3754 they seeing^G991^(G5723) see^G991^(G5719) not^G3756; and^G2532 hearing^G191^(G5723) they hear^G191^(G5719) not^G3756, neither^G3761 do they understand^G4920^(G5719).

¹⁴ In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;

KJVAnd^G2532 in^G1909 them^G846 is fulfilled^G378^(G5743) the prophecy^G4394 of Esaias^G2268, which^G3588 saith^G3004^(G5723), By hearing^G189 ye shall hear^G191^(G5692), and^G2532 shall^G4920 not^G3364 understand^G4920^(G5655); and^G2532 seeing^G991^(G5723) ye shall see^G991^(G5692), and^G2532 shall^G1492 not^G3364 perceive^G1492^(G5632):

¹⁵ for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’

KJVFor^G1063 this^G5127 people's^G2992 heart^G2588 is waxed gross^G3975^(G5681), and^G2532 their ears^G3775 are dull^G917 of hearing^G191^(G5656), and^G2532 their^G846 eyes^G3788 they have closed^G2576^(G5656); lest at any time^G3379 they should see^G1492^(G5632) with their eyes^G3788, and^G2532 hear^G191^(G5661) with their ears^G3775, and^G2532 should understand^G4920^(G5632) with their heart^G2588, and^G2532 should be converted^G1994^(G5661), and^G2532 I should heal^G2390^(G5667) them^G846.

¹⁶ “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

KJVBut^G1161 blessed^G3107 are your^G5216 eyes^G3788, for^G3754 they see^G991^(G5719): and^G2532 your^G5216 ears^G3775, for^G3754 they hear^G191^(G5719).

¹⁷ For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.

KJVFor^G1063 verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 many^G4183 prophets^G4396 and^G2532 righteous^G1342 men have desired^G1937^(G5656) to see^G1492^(G5629) those things which^G3739 ye see^G991^(G5719), and^G2532 have^G1492 not^G3756 seen^G1492^(G5627) them; and^G2532 to hear^G191^(G5658) those things which^G3739 ye hear^G191^(G5719), and^G2532 have^G191 not^G3756 heard^G191^(G5656) them.

¹⁸ “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.

KJVHear^G191^(G5657) ye^G5210 therefore^G3767 the parable^G3850 of the sower^G4687^(G5723).

¹⁹ When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.

KJVWhen any^G3956 one heareth^G191^(G5723) the word^G3056 of the kingdom^G932, and^G2532 understandeth^G4920^(G5723) it not^G3361, then cometh^G2064^(G5736) the wicked^G4190 one, and^G2532 catcheth away^G726^(G5719) that which^G3588 was sown^G4687^(G5772) in^G1722 his^G846 heart^G2588. This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) he which received seed^G4687^(G5651) by^G3844 the way side^G3598.

²⁰ What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;

KJVBut^G1161 he that received the seed^G4687^(G5651) into^G1909 stony places^G4075, the same^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) he that heareth^G191^(G5723) the word^G3056, and^G2532 anon^G2117 with^G3326 joy^G5479 receiveth^G2983^(G5723) it^G846;

²¹ yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

KJVYet^G1161 hath he^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756 root^G4491 in^G1722 himself^G1438, but^G235 dureth^G2076^(G5748) for a while^G4340: for^G1161 when tribulation^G2347 or^G2228 persecution^G1375 ariseth^G1096^(G5637) because^G1223 of the word^G3056, by and by^G2117 he is offended^G4624^(G5743).

²² What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

KJVHe also^G1161 that received seed^G4687^(G5651) among^G1519 the thorns^G173 is^G2076^(G5748) he that^G3778 heareth^G191^(G5723) the word^G3056; and^G2532 the care^G3308 of this^G5127 world^G165, and^G2532 the deceitfulness^G539 of riches^G4149, choke^G4846^(G5719) the word^G3056, and^G2532 he becometh^G1096^(G5736) unfruitful^G175.

²³ What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”

KJVBut^G1161 he that received seed^G4687^(G5651) into^G1909 the good^G2570 ground^G1093 is^G2076^(G5748) he^G3778 that heareth^G191^(G5723) the word^G3056, and^G2532 understandeth^G4920^(G5723) it; which^G3739 also^G1211 beareth fruit^G2592^(G5719), and^G2532 bringeth forth^G4160^(G5719), some^G3739^G3303 an hundredfold^G1540,^G1161 some^G3739 sixty^G1835,^G1161 some^G3739 thirty^G5144.

²⁴ He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,

KJVAnother^G243 parable^G3850 put he forth^G3908^(G5656) unto them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), The kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is likened^G3666^(G5681) unto a man^G444 which sowed^G4687^(G5723)^(G5625)^G4687^(G5660) good^G2570 seed^G4690 in^G1722 his^G846 field^G68:

²⁵ but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.

KJVBut^G1161 while^G1722 men^G444 slept^G2518^(G5721), his^G846 enemy^G2190 came^G2064^(G5627) and^G2532 sowed^G4687^(G5656) tares^G2215 among^G303^G3319 the wheat^G4621, and^G2532 went his way^G565^(G5627).

²⁶ But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G3753 the blade^G5528 was sprung up^G985^(G5656), and^G2532 brought forth^G4160^(G5656) fruit^G2590, then^G5119 appeared^G5316^(G5648) the tares^G2215 also^G2532.

²⁷ The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’

KJVSo^G1161 the servants^G1401 of the householder^G3617 came^G4334^(G5631) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Sir^G2962, didst^G4687 not^G3780 thou sow^G4687^(G5656) good^G2570 seed^G4690 in^G1722 thy^G4674 field^G68? from whence^G4159 then^G3767 hath it^G2192^(G5719) tares^G2215?

²⁸ “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’

KJV^G1161 He said^G5346^(G5713) unto them^G846, An enemy^G2190^G444 hath done^G4160^(G5656) this^G5124.^G1161 The servants^G1401 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Wilt thou^G2309^(G5719) then^G3767 that we go^G565^(G5631) and gather^G4816 them^G846 up^G4816^(G5661)?

²⁹ “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.

KJVBut^G1161 he said^G5346^(G5713), Nay^G3756; lest^G3379 while ye gather up^G4816^(G5723) the tares^G2215, ye root up^G1610^(G5661) also the wheat^G4621 with^G260 them^G846.

³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

KJVLet^G863^(G5628) both^G297 grow together^G4885^(G5745) until^G3360 the harvest^G2326: and^G2532 in^G1722 the time^G2540 of harvest^G2326 I will say^G2046^(G5692) to the reapers^G2327, Gather ye together^G4816^(G5657) first^G4412 the tares^G2215, and^G2532 bind^G1210^(G5657) them^G846 in^G1519 bundles^G1197 to^G4314 burn^G2618^(G5658) them^G846: but^G1161 gather^G4863^(G5628) the wheat^G4621 into^G1519 my^G3450 barn^G596.

³¹ He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,

KJVAnother^G243 parable^G3850 put he forth^G3908^(G5656) unto them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), The kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 to a grain^G2848 of mustard seed^G4615, which^G3739 a man^G444 took^G2983^(G5631), and sowed^G4687^(G5656) in^G1722 his^G846 field^G68:

³² which indeed is smaller than all 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 lodge in its branches.”

KJVWhich^G3739 indeed^G3303 is^G2076^(G5748) the least^G3398 of all^G3956 seeds^G4690: but^G1161 when^G3752 it is grown^G837^(G5686), it is^G2076^(G5748) the greatest^G3187 among herbs^G3001, and^G2532 becometh^G1096^(G5736) a tree^G1186, so that^G5620 the birds^G4071 of the air^G3772 come^G2064^(G5629) and^G2532 lodge^G2681^(G5721) in^G1722 the branches^G2798 thereof^G846.

³³ He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”

KJVAnother^G243 parable^G3850 spake he^G2980^(G5656) unto them^G846; The kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 unto leaven^G2219, which^G3739 a woman^G1135 took^G2983^(G5631), and hid^G1470^(G5656) in^G1519 three^G5140 measures^G4568 of meal^G224, till^G2193 the whole^G3650 was^G3739 leavened^G2220^(G5681).

³⁴ Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,

KJVAll^G3956 these things^G5023 spake^G2980^(G5656) Jesus^G2424 unto the multitude^G3793 in^G1722 parables^G3850; and^G2532 without^G5565 a parable^G3850 spake he^G2980^(G5707) not^G3756 unto them^G846:

³⁵ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”

KJVThat^G3704 it might be fulfilled^G4137^(G5686) which^G3588 was spoken^G4483^(G5685) by^G1223 the prophet^G4396, saying^G3004^(G5723), I will open^G455^(G5692) my^G3450 mouth^G4750 in^G1722 parables^G3850; I will utter^G2044^(G5695) things which have been kept secret^G2928^(G5772) from^G575 the foundation^G2602 of the world^G2889.

³⁶ Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”

KJVThen^G5119 Jesus^G2424 sent^G863 the multitude^G3793 away^G863^(G5631), and went^G2064^(G5627) into^G1519 the house^G3614: and^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101 came^G4334^(G5656) unto him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Declare^G5419^(G5657) unto us^G2254 the parable^G3850 of the tares^G2215 of the field^G68.

³⁷ He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

KJVHe answered^G611^(G5679) and^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, He that soweth^G4687^(G5723) the good^G2570 seed^G4690 is^G2076^(G5748) the Son^G5207 of man^G444;

³⁸ the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

KJV^G1161 The field^G68 is^G2076^(G5748) the world^G2889;^G1161 the good^G2570 seed^G4690 are^G3778^G1526^(G5748) the children^G5207 of the kingdom^G932; but^G1161 the tares^G2215 are^G1526^(G5748) the children^G5207 of the wicked^G4190 one;

³⁹ The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.

KJV^G1161 The enemy^G2190 that sowed^G4687^(G5660) them^G846 is^G2076^(G5748) the devil^G1228;^G1161 the harvest^G2326 is^G2076^(G5748) the end^G4930 of the world^G165; and^G1161 the reapers^G2327 are^G1526^(G5748) the angels^G32.

⁴⁰ As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.

KJVAs^G5618 therefore^G3767 the tares^G2215 are gathered^G4816^(G5743) and^G2532 burned^G2618^(G5743) in the fire^G4442; so^G3779 shall it be^G2071^(G5704) in^G1722 the end^G4930 of this^G5127 world^G165.

⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,

KJVThe Son^G5207 of man^G444 shall send forth^G649^(G5692) his^G846 angels^G32, and^G2532 they shall gather^G4816^(G5692) out of^G1537 his^G846 kingdom^G932 all things^G3956 that offend^G4625, and^G2532 them which do^G4160^(G5723) iniquity^G458;

⁴² and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

KJVAnd^G2532 shall cast^G906^(G5692) them^G846 into^G1519 a furnace^G2575 of fire^G4442: there^G1563 shall be^G2071^(G5704) wailing^G2805 and^G2532 gnashing^G1030 of teeth^G3599.

⁴³ Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

KJVThen^G5119 shall the righteous^G1342 shine forth^G1584^(G5692) as^G5613 the sun^G2246 in^G1722 the kingdom^G932 of their^G846 Father^G3962. Who^G3588 hath^G2192^(G5723) ears^G3775 to hear^G191^(G5721), let him hear^G191^(G5720).

⁴⁴ “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

KJVAgain^G3825, the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 unto treasure^G2344 hid^G2928^(G5772) in^G1722 a field^G68; the which^G3739 when a man^G444 hath found^G2147^(G5631), he hideth^G2928^(G5656), and^G2532 for^G575 joy^G5479 thereof^G846 goeth^G5217^(G5719) and^G2532 selleth^G4453^(G5719) all^G3956 that^G3745 he hath^G2192^(G5719), and^G2532 buyeth^G59^(G5719) that^G1565 field^G68.

⁴⁵ “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,

KJVAgain^G3825, the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 unto a merchant^G1713 man^G444, seeking^G2212^(G5723) goodly^G2570 pearls^G3135:

⁴⁶ who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

KJVWho^G3739, when he had found^G2147^(G5631) one^G1520 pearl^G3135 of great price^G4186, went^G565^(G5631) and sold^G4097^(G5758) all^G3956 that^G3745 he had^G2192^(G5707), and^G2532 bought^G59^(G5656) it^G846.

⁴⁷ “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,

KJVAgain^G3825, the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 unto a net^G4522, that was cast^G906^(G5685) into^G1519 the sea^G2281, and^G2532 gathered^G4863^(G5631) of^G1537 every^G3956 kind^G1085:

⁴⁸ which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.

KJVWhich^G3739, when^G3753 it was full^G4137^(G5681), they drew^G307^(G5660) to^G1909 shore^G123, and^G2532 sat down^G2523^(G5660), and gathered^G4816^(G5656) the good^G2570 into^G1519 vessels^G30, but^G1161 cast^G906^(G5627) the bad^G4550 away^G1854.

⁴⁹ So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous,

KJVSo^G3779 shall it be^G2071^(G5704) at^G1722 the end^G4930 of the world^G165: the angels^G32 shall come forth^G1831^(G5695), and^G2532 sever^G873^(G5692) the wicked^G4190 from^G1537 among^G3319 the just^G1342,

⁵⁰ and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

KJVAnd^G2532 shall cast^G906^(G5692) them^G846 into^G1519 the furnace^G2575 of fire^G4442: there^G1563 shall be^G2071^(G5704) wailing^G2805 and^G2532 gnashing^G1030 of teeth^G3599.

⁵¹ Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”

KJVJesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Have ye understood^G4920^(G5656) all^G3956 these^G5023 things^G3956? They say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Yea^G3483, Lord^G2962.

⁵² He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) he unto them^G846, Therefore^G1223^G5124 every^G3956 scribe^G1122 which is instructed^G3100^(G5685) unto^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 unto a man^G444 that is an householder^G3617, which^G3748 bringeth forth^G1544^(G5719) out of^G1537 his^G846 treasure^G2344 things new^G2537 and^G2532 old^G3820.

⁵³ When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that when^G3753 Jesus^G2424 had finished^G5055^(G5656) these^G5025 parables^G3850, he departed^G3332^(G5656) thence^G1564.

⁵⁴ Coming into 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?

KJVAnd^G2532 when he was come^G2064^(G5631) into^G1519 his own^G846 country^G3968, he taught^G1321^(G5707) them^G846 in^G1722 their^G846 synagogue^G4864, insomuch that^G5620 they^G846 were astonished^G1605^(G5745), and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5721), Whence^G4159 hath this man^G5129 this^G3778 wisdom^G4678, and^G2532 these mighty works^G1411?

⁵⁵ Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
