The Kingdom of God
Matthew Ch. 13
1 That same day, Jesus left the house and
sat by the lakeside,
2 but such large crowds gathered round him
that he got into a boat and sat there. The
people all stood on the shore,
3 and he told them many things in parables.
He said, "Listen, Sower went out to sow.
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge
of the path, and the birds came and ate
them up.
5 Others fell on patches of rock where they
found little soil and sprang up at once,
because there was no depth of earth;
6 but as soon as the sun came up, they were
scorched and, not having any roots, they
withered away.
7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the
thorns grew up and choked it.
8 But some seed fell on rich soil, and
produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
9 Whoever has ears ought to hear."
10 Then the disciples went up to him and
asked, "Why do you talk to them in
parables?"
11 In answer, he said, "Because to you is
granted to understand the mysteries of the
kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not
granted.
12 Anyone who has will be given more and
will have more than enough; but anyone who
has not will be deprived even of what he
has.
13 The reason I talk to them in parables is
that they look without seeing and listen
without hearing or understanding.
14 So in their case what was spoken by the
prophet Isaiah is being fulfilled; listen and
listen, but never understand! Look and look,
but never perceive!
15 These people's heart has grown coarse,
their ears dulled, they have shut their eyes
tight to avoid using their eyes to see, their
ears to hear, their heart to understand,
changing their ways and being healed
by me.
16 "But blessed are your eyes because they
see, your ears because they hear!
17 In truth I tell you, many prophets and
upright people longed to see what you see,
and never saw it; to hear what you hear,
and never heard it.
18 "So, pay attention to the parable of the
Sower.
19 When anyone hears the word of the
kingdom without understanding, the Evil
One comes and carries off what was sown
in his heart; this is the seed sown on the
edge of the path.
20 The seed sown on patches of rock is
someone who hears the word and
welcomes it at once with joy.
21 But such a person has no root deep down
and does not last; should some trial come,
or some persecution on account of the
word, at once he falls away.
22 The seed sown in thorns is someone who
hears the word, but the worry of the world
and the lure of riches choke the word and so
it produces nothing.
23 And the seed sown in rich soil is
someone who hears the word and
understands it; this is the one who yields a
harvest and produces now a hundredfold,
now sixty, now thirty.'
24 He put another parable before them, 'The
kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a
man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 While everybody was asleep his enemy
came, sowed darnel all among the wheat,
and made off.
______________________________________
The {Darnel is a toxic and fatal weed
that looks similar to a stalk of
wheat in the stages of its growth}
{Darnel is a particularly troublesome
kind of weed which resembles wheat.
It can be easily understood why the land
owner instructs the laborers to remove
the weed only at harvest-time, for to pull
it out beforehand would probably uproot
the wheat and thus destroy the crop.}
_________________________________________
26 When the new wheat sprouted and
ripened, then the darnel appeared as well.
27 The owner's laborers went to him and
said, "Sir, was it not good seed that you
sowed in your field? If so, where does the
darnel come from?"
28 He said to them, "Some enemy has done
this, "And the laborers said, "Do you want
us to go and weed it out?"
29 But he said, "No, because when you weed
out the darnel you might pull up the wheat
with it.
30 Let them both grow till the harvest; and at
harvest time I shall say to the reapers; First
collect the darnel and tie it in bundles to be
burnt, then gather the wheat into my barn."
31 He put another parable before them, "The
kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed
which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, but
when it has grown it is the biggest of shrubs
and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the
air can come and shelter in its branches."
36 Then, leaving the crowds, he went to
the house; and his disciples came to him
and said, 'Explain to us the parable about
the darnel in the field.'
37 He said in reply, 'The Sower of the good
seed is the Son of man.
38 The field is the world; the good seed is
the subjects of the kingdom; the darnel, the
subjects of the Evil One;
43 Then the upright will shine like the sun in
the kingdom of their Father. Anyone who has
ears should listen!
50 to throw them into the blazing furnace,
where there will be weeping and grinding of
teeth. (meaning evil doers)
51 'Have you understood all these? 'They
said, 'Yes.'
52 And he said to them, "Well then, every
scribe who becomes a disciple of the kingdom
of Heaven is like a householder who brings
out from his storeroom new
things as well as old."
53 When Jesus had finished these parables
he left the district;
