| 1 The same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside. | | 1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. |
| 2 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He went into a ship and sat. And the whole multitude stood on the shore. | | 2 In the midst of its street, and on either side of the river, there was the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruit and yielded its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. |
| 3 And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, "Behold, a sower went forth to sow. | | 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. |
| 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside. And the fowls came and devoured them up. | | 4 And they shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. |
| 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth. And they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. | | 5 And there shall be no night there, and they need no candle or light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. |
| 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched, and because they had no root, they withered away.
| | 6 And he said to me, "These sayings are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show to His servants the things that must shortly be done. |
| 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
| | 7 "Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book." |
| 8 But others fell into good ground and brought forth fruit: some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
| | 8 And I, John, saw these things and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. |
| 9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear."
| | 9 Then he said to me, "See that you do not do it. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book. Worship God." |
| 10 And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"
| | 10 And he said to me, "Do not seal the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. |
| 11 He answered and said to them, "Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
| | 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still." |
| 12 For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
| | 12 "And, behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according to what his work is. |
| 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
| | 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." |
| 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: By hearing you shall hear and shall not understand, and seeing you shall see and shall not perceive.
| | 14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city. |
| 15 For this people's heart is callous and their ears are dull of hearing. And they have closed their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their hearts and should be converted, and I should heal them.
| | 15 For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie. |
| 16 "But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
| | 16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David and the bright and morning star." |
| 17 For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear those things that you hear, and have not heard them.
| | 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let him who hears say, "Come." And let him who is thirsty come. And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. |
| 18 "Therefore hear the parable of the sower:
| | 18 For I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If any man adds to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book. |
| 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.
| | 19 And if any man takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things that are written in this book. |
| 20 But he who received the seed in stony places, the same is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.
| | 20 He who testifies these things says, "Surely I come quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. |
| 21 Yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, before long he stumbles.
| | 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. |
| 22 Also he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
| |
| 23 But he who received seed into the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who also bears fruit and brings forth: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
| |
| 24 He presented another parable to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
| |
| 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went his way.
| |
| 26 But when the blade had sprung up and brought forth fruit, then the weeds also appeared.
| |
| 27 So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?'
| |
| 28 He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
| |
| 29 But he said, 'No, lest while you gather up the weeds you also uproot the wheat with them.
| |
| 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the weeds and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
| |
| 31 He presented another parable to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like 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 becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches."
| |
| 33 He spoke to them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is similar to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until the whole was leavened."
| |
| 34 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables. And without a parable He did not speak to them,
| |
| 35 that it might be fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things that 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 to Him, saying, "Declare to us the parable of the weeds of the field."
| |
| 37 He answered and said to them, "He who sows 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 weeds are the children of the wicked one.
| |
| 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels.
| |
| 40 Therefore as the weeds 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 cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
| |
| 42 and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
| |
| 43 Then the righteous shall shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
| |
| 44 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which, when a man had found it, he hid it. And for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
| |
| 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine 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 a net that was cast into the sea and gathered some of every kind,
| |
| 48 which, when it was full, they pulled 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 separate 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 said to them, "Have you understood all these things?" They say to Him, "Yes, Lord."
| |
| 52 Then He said to them, "Therefore every scribe who is instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a landowner who brings forth out of his treasure new and old things."
| |
| 53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.
| |
| 54 And when He had come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, to such a degree that they were astonished and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
| |
| 55 Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
| |
| 56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"
| |
| 57 And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house."
| |
| 58 And He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

20 He who testifies these things says, "Surely I come quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
