36 MATTHEW XIII. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came unto him, saying; Declare 37 unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them; He that soweth the good seed is the 38 Son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of 39 the wicked one; the enemy, that sowed them, is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the 40 angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in 41 the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them 42 which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of 43 fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth, as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him 44 hear. - 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 45 hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heav46 en is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls. But, when he had found one pearl of great price, he went and 47 sold all that he had, and bought it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and 48 gathered of every kind; which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, 49 but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from 59 among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; 51 there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jesus saith unto them; Have ye understood all these things? 52 They say unto him; Yea, Lord. Then said he unto them; Therefore every scribe, which is instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that is an householder, which 53 bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. 53 54 MATTHEW XIII. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. And when he was come into his own country, he MARK VI. 1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his dis2 ciples follow him.

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 and his sisters, are they not all with us? whence then hath this man all these MARK VI. the synagogue. And many hearing him were astonished, saying; From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him? even such mighty works are 3 wrought by his hands. Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at 4 him. But Jesus said unto them; A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own 57 things?

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Je sus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them; Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going; and they had no leisure so much as to eat. |
