Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
They on
the rock are
they, which, when
they hear, receive
the word with joy; and
these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of
temptation fall away.
The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
And that which fell among thorns are
they, which, when
they have heard, go forth, and are
choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
The seeds that fell among
the thorns are those who hear, but as
they go on
their way,
they are
choked by
the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and
their fruit does not
mature.
But that on
the good ground are
they, which in an
honest and good heart, having heard
the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with
patience.
But
the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear
the word,
cling to it, and by
persevering produce a crop.
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.
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a
jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see
the light.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing
hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
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.
Pay attention,
therefore, to how you
listen.
Whoever has will be given more, but
whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto
them, Let us go over unto
the other side of
the lake. And
they launched forth.
One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
But as
they sailed he fell
asleep: and
there came down a storm of wind on
the lake; and
they were filled with water, and were in
jeopardy.
As
they sailed, He fell
asleep, and a
windstorm came down on
the lake, so that
the boat was being
swamped, and
they were in great danger.
And
they came to him, and
awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish.
Then he arose, and
rebuked the wind and
the raging of
the water: and
they ceased, and
there was a calm.
The disciples went and
woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
Then Jesus got up and
rebuked the wind and
the raging waters, and
they subsided, and all was calm.
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
“Where is your faith?” He asked.
Frightened and
amazed,
they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even
the winds and
the water, and
they obey Him!”
And
they arrived at
the country of
the Gadarenes, which is over against
Galilee.
Then they sailed to
the region of
the Gerasenes, across
the lake from
Galilee.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
When Jesus
stepped ashore, He was met by a
demon-possessed man from
the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in
the tombs.
When he saw Jesus, he
cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I
beseech thee,
torment me not.
When
the man saw Jesus, he
cried out and fell down before Him,
shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of
the Most High God? I
beg You not to
torture me!”
(For he had commanded
the unclean spirit to come out of
the man. For
oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in
fetters; and he
brake the bands, and was driven of
the devil into
the wilderness.)
For Jesus had commanded
the unclean spirit to come out of
the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and
shackles, he had broken
the chains and been driven by
the demon into solitary places.
And
they besought him that he would not command
them to go out into
the deep.
And
the demons kept
begging Jesus not to order
them to go into
the Abyss.
And
there was
there an
herd of many
swine feeding on
the mountain: and
they besought him that he would suffer
them to enter into
them. And he suffered
them.
There on
the hillside a large
herd of pigs was feeding. So
the demons
begged Jesus to let
them enter
the pigs, and He gave
them permission.
Then went
the devils out of
the man, and entered into
the swine: and
the herd ran violently down a steep place into
the lake, and were
choked.
Then the demons came out of
the man and went into
the pigs, and
the herd rushed down
the steep bank into
the lake and was
drowned.
When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
When those tending
the pigs saw what had happened,
they ran off and reported this in
the town and
countryside.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
They also which saw it told
them by what means he that was possessed of
the devils was
healed.
Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how
the demon-possessed man had been
healed.
Then the whole multitude of
the country of
the Gadarenes round about
besought him to depart from
them; for
they were taken with great fear: and he went up into
the ship, and returned back again.
Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.
Now
the man out of whom
the devils were departed
besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
The man whom
the demons had left
begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
Return to thine own house, and
shew how great things God hath done unto
thee. And he went his way, and published throughout
the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned,
the people
gladly received him: for
they were all waiting for him.
When Jesus returned,
the crowd
welcomed Him, for
they had all been waiting for Him.
And, behold,
there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of
the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and
besought him that he would come into his house:
Just
then a
synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He
begged Him to come to his house,
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went
the people
thronged him.
because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
Came behind him, and touched
the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood
stanched.
She came up behind Jesus and touched
the fringe of His
cloak, and immediately her
bleeding stopped.
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and
they that were with him said, Master,
the multitude
throng thee and press
thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
And when
the woman saw that she was not
hid, she came
trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all
the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was
healed immediately.
Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came
trembling and fell down before Him. In
the presence of all
the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been
healed.
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has
healed you. Go in peace.”
While he yet spake,
there cometh one from
the ruler of
the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not
the Master.
While He was still speaking, someone arrived from
the house of
the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother
the Teacher anymore.”
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
But Jesus overheard
them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be
healed.”
And when he came into
the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and
the father and
the mother of
the maiden.
When He entered
the house, He did not allow
anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and
the child’s father and mother.
And
they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
And he put
them all out, and took her by
the hand, and called, saying,
Maid, arise.
But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
And her parents were
astonished: but he charged
them that
they should tell no man what was done.
Her parents were
astounded, but Jesus ordered
them not to tell
anyone what had happened.
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.
And he sent
them to
preach the kingdom of God, and to
heal the sick.
And He sent
them out to
proclaim the kingdom of God and to
heal the sick.
And he said unto
them, Take nothing for your journey, neither
staves, nor
scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats
apiece.
“Take nothing for
the journey,” He told
them, “no staff, no
bag, no bread, no money, no second
tunic.
Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that area.
And
whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city,
shake off
the very dust from your feet for a testimony against
them.
If
anyone does not
welcome you,
shake the dust off your feet when you leave that town, as a testimony against
them.”
And
they departed, and went through
the towns, preaching
the gospel, and
healing every where.
So
they set out and went from village to village, preaching
the gospel and
healing people everywhere.
Now Herod
the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was
perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from
the dead;
When Herod
the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, he was
perplexed. For some were saying that John had risen from
the dead,
And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
others that
Elijah had appeared, and still others that a prophet of old had arisen.
And
the apostles, when
they were returned, told him all that
they had done. And he took
them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to
the city called
Bethsaida.
Then the apostles returned and reported to Jesus all that
they had done. Taking
them away privately, He withdrew to a town called
Bethsaida.
And
the people, when
they knew it, followed him: and he received
them, and spake unto
them of
the kingdom of God, and
healed them that had need of
healing.
But
the crowds found out and followed Him. He
welcomed them and spoke to
them about
the kingdom of God, and He
healed those who needed
healing.
And when
the day began to wear away,
then came
the twelve, and said unto him, Send
the multitude away, that
they may go into
the towns and country round about, and
lodge, and get
victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
As
the day neared its end,
the Twelve came to Jesus and said, “Dismiss
the crowd so
they can go to
the surrounding villages and
countryside for
lodging and provisions. For we are in a
desolate place here.”
But he said unto
them, Give ye
them to eat. And
they said, We have no more but five
loaves and two fishes; except we should go and
buy meat for all this people.
But Jesus told
them, “You give
them something to eat.” “We have only five
loaves of bread and two fish,”
they answered, “unless we go and
buy food for all
these people.”
For
they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make
them sit down by
fifties in a company.
(There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
Then he took
the five
loaves and
the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed
them, and
brake, and gave to
the disciples to set before
the multitude.
Taking
the five
loaves and
the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke
them.
Then He gave
them to
the disciples to set before
the people.
And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
They all
ate and were satisfied, and
the disciples
picked up twelve
basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”
They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
They replied, “Some say John
the Baptist; others say
Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”
He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
Saying,
The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of
the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be slain, and be raised
the third day.
“
The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by
the elders, chief priests, and
scribes, and He must be killed and on
the third day be raised to life.”
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Then Jesus said to all of
them, “If
anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but
whosoever will lose his life for my sake,
the same shall save it.
For
whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
What does it profit a man to gain
the whole world, yet lose or
forfeit his very self?
For
whosoever shall be
ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall
the Son of man be
ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of
the holy angels.
If
anyone is
ashamed of Me and My words,
the Son of Man will be
ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in
the glory of
the Father and of
the holy angels.
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
But I tell you truthfully, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
About eight days after Jesus had said these things, He took with Him Peter, John, and James, and went up on a mountain to pray.
And as he prayed,
the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his
raiment was white and
glistering.
And as He was praying,
the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became
radiantly white.
And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
Suddenly two men, Moses and
Elijah, began talking with Jesus.
Who appeared in glory, and spake of his
decease which he should
accomplish at Jerusalem.
They appeared in glory and spoke about His departure, which He was about to
accomplish at Jerusalem.
But Peter and
they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when
they were
awake,
they saw his glory, and
the two men that stood with him.
Meanwhile Peter and his companions were overcome by sleep, but when
they awoke,
they saw Jesus’ glory and
the two men standing with Him.
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
As Moses and
Elijah were leaving, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
While Peter was speaking, a cloud appeared and
enveloped them, and
they were afraid as
they entered
the cloud.
And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
And a voice came from
the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen.
Listen to Him!”
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
After
the voice had spoken, only Jesus was present with
them.
The disciples kept this to
themselves, and in those days
they did not tell
anyone what
they had seen.
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
The next day, when they came down from the mountain, Jesus was met by a large crowd.
And, behold, a man of
the company
cried out, saying, Master, I
beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
Suddenly a man in
the crowd
cried out, “Teacher, I
beg You to look at my son, for he is my only child.
And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and
bruising him hardly departeth from him.
A spirit keeps seizing him, and he screams
abruptly. It throws him into convulsions so that he foams at
the mouth. It keeps
mauling him and rarely departs from him.
And I
besought thy disciples to cast him out; and
they could not.
I
begged Your disciples to drive it out, but
they were unable.”
And as he was yet a coming,
the devil threw him down, and
tare him. And Jesus
rebuked the unclean spirit, and
healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
Even while
the boy was approaching,
the demon slammed him to
the ground in a
convulsion. But Jesus
rebuked the unclean spirit,
healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
And
they were all
amazed at
the mighty power of God. But while
they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
And
they were all
astonished at
the greatness of God. While
everyone was
marveling at all that Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”
But
they understood not this saying, and it was
hid from
them, that
they perceived it not: and
they feared to ask him of that saying.
But
they did not understand this statement. It was
veiled from
them so that
they could not
comprehend it, and
they were afraid to ask Him about it.
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
And said unto
them,
Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and
whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all,
the same shall be great.
And He said to
them, “
Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and
whoever welcomes Me welcomes
the One who sent Me. For
whoever is
the least among all of you, he is
the greatest.”
And it came to pass, when
the time was come that he should be received up, he
stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
And sent messengers before his face: and
they went, and entered into a village of
the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
He sent messengers on
ahead, who went into a village of
the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.
And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
But
the people
there refused to
welcome Him, because He was heading for Jerusalem.
And when his disciples James and John saw this,
they said, Lord,
wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and
consume them, even as Elias did?
When
the disciples James and John saw this,
they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to
consume them?”
But he turned, and
rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
And He and His disciples went on to another village.
And it came to pass, that, as
they went in
the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow
thee whithersoever thou goest.
As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and
bury my father.
Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.”
The man replied, “Lord, first let me go and
bury my father.”
Jesus said unto him, Let
the dead
bury their dead: but go thou and
preach the kingdom of God.
But Jesus told him, “Let
the dead
bury their own dead. You, however, go and
proclaim the kingdom of God.”
And another also said, Lord, I will follow
thee; but let me first go
bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
Still another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me
bid farewell to my family.”
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to
the plough, and looking back, is fit for
the kingdom of God.
Then Jesus declared, “No one who puts his hand to
the plow and
then looks back is fit for
the kingdom of God.”
After
these things
the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent
them two and two before his face into every city and place,
whither he himself would come.
After this,
the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent
them two by two
ahead of Him to every town and place He was about to visit.
