A Story about a Farmer
That same day Jesus left the house and went out beside Lake Galilee, where he sat down to teach.
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he had to sit in a boat, while the people stood on the shore. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Then he taught them many things by using stories. He said: A farmer went out to scatter seed in a field. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 While the farmer was scattering the seed, some of it fell along the road and was eaten by birds. And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5 Other seeds fell on thin, rocky ground and quickly started growing because the soil wasn't very deep. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched and dried up, because they did not have deep roots. And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Some other seeds fell where thornbushes grew up and choked the plants. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 But a few seeds did fall on good ground where the plants produced 100 or 60 or 30 times as much as was scattered. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 If you have ears, pay attention! (; ,) Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Why Jesus Used Stories
Jesus' disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you use stories to speak to the people?”
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 Jesus answered: I have explained the secrets about the kingdom of heaven to you, but not to others. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Everyone who has something will be given more. But people who don't have anything will lose even what little they have. 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 I use stories when I speak to them because when they look, they cannot see, and when they listen, they cannot hear or understand. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said, “These people will listen and listen, but never understand. They will look and look, but never see. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 All of them have stubborn minds! They refuse to listen; they cover their eyes. They cannot see or hear or understand. If they could, they would turn to me, and I would heal them.” For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 But God has blessed you, because your eyes can see and your ears can hear! But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 Many prophets and good people were eager to see what you see and to hear what you hear. But I tell you they did not see or hear. (; ) For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Jesus Explains the Story about the Farmer
Now listen to the meaning of the story about the farmer:
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 The seeds that fell along the road are the people who hear the message about the kingdom, but don't understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches the message from their hearts. 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 heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
20 The seeds that fell on rocky ground are the people who gladly hear the message and accept it at once. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 But they don't have deep roots, and they don't last very long. As soon as life gets hard or the message gets them in trouble, they give up. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22 The seeds that fell among the thornbushes are also people who hear the message. But they start worrying about the needs of this life and are fooled by the desire to get rich. So the message gets choked out, and they never produce anything. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 The seeds that fell on good ground are the people who hear and understand the message. They produce as much as 100 or 60 or 30 times what was planted. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24
Weeds among the Wheat
Jesus then told them this story: The kingdom of heaven is like what happened when a farmer scattered good seed in a field.
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and scattered weed seeds in the field and then left. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 When the plants came up and began to mature, the farmer's servants could see the weeds. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 The servants came and asked, “Sir, didn't you scatter good seed in your field? Where did these weeds come from?” So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 “An enemy did this,” he replied. His servants then asked, “Do you want us to go out and pull up the weeds?” He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 “No!” he answered. “You might also pull up the wheat. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Leave the weeds alone until harvest time. Then I'll tell my workers to gather the weeds and tie them up and burn them. But I'll order them to store the wheat in my barn.” (; ) Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31
Stories about a Mustard Seed and Yeast
Jesus told them another story: The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a farmer plants a mustard seed in a field.
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 Although it is the smallest of all seeds, it grows larger than any garden plant and becomes a tree. Birds even come and nest on its branches. Which 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 branches thereof.
33 Jesus also said: The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a woman mixes a little yeast into three big batches of flour. Finally, all the dough rises. (,) 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 was leavened.
34
The Reason for Teaching with Stories
Jesus used stories when he spoke to the people. In fact, he did not tell them anything without using stories.
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35 So God's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, “I will use stories to speak my message and to explain things hidden since the creation of the world.” 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.
36
Jesus Explains the Story about the Weeds
After Jesus left the crowd and went inside, his disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the story about the weeds in the wheat field.”
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Jesus answered: The one who scattered the good seed is the Son of Man. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 The field is the world, and the good seeds are the people who belong to the kingdom. The weeds are those who belong to the evil one, The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 and the one who scattered them is the devil. The harvest is the end of time, and angels are the ones who bring in the harvest. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 Weeds are gathered and burned. That's how it will be at the end of time. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everyone who does wrong or causes others to sin. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 Then he will throw them into a flaming furnace, where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 But everyone who has done right will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. If you have ears, pay attention! Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44
A Hidden Treasure
The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when someone finds a treasure hidden in a field and buries it again. Such a person is happy and goes and sells everything in order to buy that field.
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 hath, and buyeth that field.
45
A Valuable Pearl
The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a shop owner is looking for fine pearls.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 After finding a very valuable one, the owner goes and sells everything in order to buy that pearl. Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47
A Fish Net
The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a net is thrown into a lake and catches all kinds of fish.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 When the net is full, it is dragged to the shore, and the fishermen sit down to separate the fish. They keep the good ones, but throw the bad ones away. Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 That's how it will be at the end of time. Angels will come and separate the evil people from the ones who have done right. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 Then those evil people will be thrown into a flaming furnace, where they will cry and grit their teeth in pain. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51
New and Old Treasures
Jesus asked his disciples if they understood all these things. They said, “Yes, we do.”
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52 So he told them, “Every student of the Scriptures who becomes a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like someone who brings out new and old treasures from the storeroom.” (; ) Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53
The People of Nazareth Turn against Jesus
When Jesus had finished telling these stories, he left
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 and went to his hometown. He taught in their synagogue, and the people were so amazed that they asked, “Where does he get all this wisdom and the power to work these miracles? And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Isn't he the son of the carpenter? Isn't Mary his mother, and aren't James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Don't his sisters still live here in our town? How can he do all this?” And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
57 So the people were upset because of what he was doing. But Jesus said, “Prophets are honored by everyone, except the people of their hometown and their own family.” 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 own house.
58 And because the people did not have any faith, Jesus did not work many miracles there. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
