Matthew 13:24-35
- 24
- 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 men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares 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 householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
- 28
- 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
- But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
- 30
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
- 35
- 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.
