sixty, some thirty.
[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.
[36] 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] He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son
of man;
[38] 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] The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers are the angels.
[40] 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 shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather
out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
[42] And shall cast them into a furnace
of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[43] Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun
in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[44] 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] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant
man, seeking goodly pearls:
[46] Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all
that he had, and bought it.
[47] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the
sea, and gathered of every kind:
[48] Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
[49] So shall it be at the end of the world: the
angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
[50] And shall cast them into the
furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
[51] Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood
all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
[52] 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] And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
parables, he departed thence.
[54] 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] 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 things?
[57] 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 he did not many mighty
works there because of their unbelief.
Matt.14
[1] At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
[2] And said unto his servants, This is
John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
[3]
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother
Philip's wife.
[4] For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
[5] And when he would have
put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
[6] But when Herod's
birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
[7] Whereupon he
promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
[8] And she, being before instructed of her
