how_that on_the =sabbath days the} 7
priests in the otemple ™ profane the} %
sabbath, and are g blameless ? 6 But Isay unto_you, That in_this_ place is one greater than_the » temple.
7 But if ye-had_known what this) Mal. meaneth, ‘I_d wILL_HAVE ! MERCY, AND|7. H
NOT SACRIFICE,’ ye would not have_con- demned the =guiltless.
d. 8 For the Son of_-man is Lord even 3
of_the sabbath day.” 9 And _ «when _ He - was _ departed thence, He _ went into their -syna-
gogue:
10 And, behold, there_-was a man swhich_had his ~hand withered. And they_asked Him, saying, “Is_it lawful
to_heal on_the =sabbath days?” that 10
they_-might_accuse Him.
L nu And He said unto_them, “What
man shall_there_be eamong you, that
shall_have one sheep, and if ‘it -fall|’;
into a pit on_the =sabbath day, will_he_ not lay_hold_on it, and 4lift_it_out ?
122 How_much then is a man better|”
than_a_sheep? Wherefore it_is_lawful to_do well on_the =sabbath days.”
13 Then saith_He to_the man, “«Stretch_forth thine -hand.” And he_ stretched_it_forth ; and it_was_restored whole, like_as the other.
14 Then the Pharisees -swent_out, and held a council against Him, how they_ smight_destroy Him.
15 But when -Jesus p knew zt, He_ withdrew_Himself from_thence: and great multitudes followed Him, and He_healed them all ;
16 And charged them that they~_ sshould not make Him puknown:
17 That it_-might_be_fulfilled which
*+was_spoken ¢ by ¢ Esaias the prophet, |. uw
saying,

2 Then was_brought unto_Him «one_
possessed _ with _a_devil, blind, and
dumb: and He_healed him, insomuch that the -blind and -dumb both spake and saw.
23 And all the m=people —were_
amazed, and said, “Is not this the Son
of_David ?”
*4 But when the Pharisees heard it,
they _said, “This fellow doth not cast_
out @deyils, but by -Beelzebub the prince of_the 4 devils.”
2 And «Jesus “knew their thoughts, and said unto_them, “Every kingdom «divided against itself is_brought_to_ desolation; and every city or house «divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if “Satan cast out -Satan, he_
*is_divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand ?
27 And if £ by » Beelzebub cast_out ad-deyils, by whom do your s-children cast_them_out ? therefore thep shall_be your judges.

8l Wherefore I_say unto_you, All_ manner_of sin and blasphemy shall_ be_forgiven unto -men: but the blas- .|phemy against the Holy sGhost shall
not be_forgiven unto_“men.
-| 82 And whosoever -speaketh a word against the Son of_-man, it_shall_be_ forgiven him: but whosoever -speaketh against the Holy -Ghost, it_shall not be_forgiven him, neither in this «world, neither in =the world to_come.

35 A -good man out_of the good trea-
sure of_the heart bringeth_forth -good_
things: and an -evil man out _of the evil treasure bringeth_forth evil_ things.
36 But I_say unto_you, That every idle

shall_give account c thereof in the day of judgment.

the Pharisees answered, saying, “¢ Mas- ter, we_'would «see a sign from Thee.”
38 Then certain of_the scribes and of
Martruew XIII. 5.
39 But He -zanswered and said unto_ them, “An evil and adulterous genera- tion seeketh_after a sign; and there_ shall no sign be_given to_it, but the sign of_the prophet j Jonas:
40 For as j Jonas “was three days and three nights in the whale’s -belly; so shall the Son of_-man be three days and ee nights in the heart of_the eart! ;
41 The men of_Nineveh shall_s rise in -judgment with this -generation, and shall_condemn it: because they_ repented at the preaching of_j Jonas: ae behold, a ™ greater than_j Jonas is
ere.
#2 The queen of_the_south shall_rise_ up in the judgment with this -genera- tion, and shall_condemn it: for she_ came from the uttermost_parts of_the earth to_-hear the wisdom of_Solomon ; and, behold, a. ™ greater than_Solomon is here.
43 ,b When the unclean spirit -is_ gone_out of @ «man, he_p walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth ‘none.

46 While He yet -talked to_the m=people, behold, His -mother and His brethren :''stood without, s desir- ing to_-speak with_Him.
47 Then one said unto_Him, “Behold Thy -mother and Thy -brethren ‘stand without sdesiring to speak with _ Thee.”
48 But He «answered and said unto_ him -that_told Him, “Who is My ‘mother? and who are My ~brethren?”
49 And +He_stretched _forth His rhand toward His «disciples, and said, “Behold My smother and My -brethren !

2 And great multitudes were_gather- ed_together unto Him, so_that He sswent into a -ship, and 'sat; and the whole multitude -''stood on the shore. :

forthwith they _sprung_up, because -they_'had no deepness of_earth :
6 And -+when the sun was_up, they_ were_scorched ; and because «they_'had no root, they_withered_away.
7 And some fell among -thorns; and the thorns sprung_up, and choked them:
8 But other fell into -good -ground, and ~brought_forth fruit, some a hun- dredfold, ,«some sixtyfold, »«some thirtyfold. ‘
2 Who hath ears to_'hear, '‘let-him_ hear.”
10 And the disciples -scame, and said unto_Him, “ Why speakest_Thou unto_
- | them in parables?”
11 ,aHe ssanswered and said unto_ them, “Because it_‘is_given unto_you to_-know the mysteries of_the kingdom
‘!of t-=heaven, but to_them it_‘is not
given. 12 For whosoever hath, to_him shall_ be_given, and he_shall_have_more_
*/abundance: but whosoever hath not,
from him shall_be_taken_away even that he_hath.
13 Therefore speak_I to_them in par- ables : because they_seeing see not ; and hearing they_hear not, neither do_they_ understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of_i Esaias, which saith,
*‘ByY_HEARING YE_SHALL_HEAR, AND *SHALL ” NOT UNDERSTAND : AND SEEING YE_SHALL_SEE, AND *SHALL ” NOT PERCEIVE : 15 FOR THIS “PEOPLE’S “HEART tS WAX-
ED_GROSS,
And their ‘EARS *ARE_DULL OF_ HEARING,
AND THEIR ‘EYES THEY ~— have — CLOSED ;
LEST_AT_ANY_TIME THEY_*SHOULD_ P SEE WITH their EYES, :
AND ‘HEAR WITH their “EARS,
AND ‘SHOULD _UNDERSTAND WITH their “HEART,
AND *SHOULD_t BE_CONVERTED,
AND I -SHOULD_HEAL THEM.’
16 But blessed are your they_see: and your ears, for they_ hear.
W For «verily I_say unto_you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to_p see those things which ye_ see, and shave not rseen them ; and to_ shear those things which ye_hear, and shave not heard them.
18 -Hear pe therefore the parable of_ ~athe sower.
19 When any_one +heareth the word of_the kingdom, and +understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth_away that_which “was_sown in his cheart. This is he_which w-re- ceived_seed by_the way-side.
20 But he_that ~-sreceived_the_seed into r-stony_places, the_same is ~he_ that heareth the word, and s anon with joy +receiveth it ;
21 Yet hath_he not root in himself, but dureth for_a_while: >for -+when tribulation or persecution ariseth be-
Marrurw XIII. 36
cause_of the word, sby_and_by he_is_ st offended. ‘ an
22 He also that w-sreceived _seed among the thorns ,tis +he_that hear- eth the word; and the care of this ag-world, and the deceitfulness of _ -riches, choke the word, and he_becom- eth unfruitful.
3 But he_that w=received_seed into the good -ground qt is ~+he_that heareth the werd, and +understandeth it ; which also beareth_fruit, and bringeth_forth, some a hundredfold, ,#some sixty, a« some thirty.”
24 Another parable put_He_forth un- to_them, saying, “The kingdom of_ rsheaven -is_likened unto_a_man -swhich_sowed good seed in his ~field:
2 But while -men -slept, his -enemy came and sowed dtares among the wheat, and went_his_way.
26 But when the blade was_sprung_up, and brought_forth fruit, then appeared the @tares also,
27 So the %servants of_the ™ house- holder -scame and said unto_him, ‘Sir,
didst not thou_sow good seed in thy| "srt
efield? from_whence then hath _it d-tares?’
28 ,a He said unto_them, ‘,m An enemy ‘hath_done this.’
a@The servants said unto _ him ‘Wilt _thou then that we «go a ‘gather them up?’
29 But he said, ‘Nay; lest +while_ye_ gather_up the ¢@ tares, ye_root_up also the wheat with them.
380 -Let both grow_together until the harvest : and in the time of_~harvest I_ will_say to_the reapers, ‘-Gather_ye_to- gether first the ¢tares, and bind them in bundles ‘to burn them: but br -gather the wheat into my «barn.’”
31 Another ble put_He_forth un- to_them, saying, “The kingdom of_ -=heaven is like to_a_grain of_mustard_ seed, which a man «took, and sowed in his «field :
32 Which indeed is the !least_of all «seeds: but when it_-is_grown, it_is the |; 9 greatest among cherbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of_the air -come and ‘lodge in the branches thereof.”
33 Another cae 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 was_leavened.”
34 All these_things spake -Jesus unto the =multitude in parables; and with- out a parable ~spake-He not unto_ them:
35 That it_-might_be_fulfilled which *swas_spoken ¢ by the prophet, saying,
“T_WILL_OPEN My “MOUTH IN PARA- BLES ;
I _ WILL _ UTTER THINGS — WHICH _ HAVE _BEEN_KEPT_SECRET FROM the FOUNDATION OF_the_WORLD.”
36 Then -Jesus “sent the =multitude away, and went into the house: and His «disciples came unto_Him, saying, “‘e-Declare unto_us the parable of_the dtares of_the field.” 4.
