34 0 15 generation 15 of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

35 16 A 16 good man out of the good treasure B of the heart ß bringeth forth good things: and 16 an 16 evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judg

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees B answered B, saying, !? Master 17, we would see a sign from

39 But he answered and said unto them, Ical. 57.3. An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47 8 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee B.

48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon9 P with receiveth it;

joy

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but 10 dureth for a while 10: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, 1 by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word: and the care 12 of thisß world 12, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23 But he that received seeds into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some 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 B sowed 8 13 tares 13 among the wheat, and went his way.

26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the 13 tares 13 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 13 tares 13 ?

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 13 tares 13, 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 13 tares 13, 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 14+ measures 14 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:

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 13 tares 13 are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; dthe harvest is the end of the 15 world 15; and the reapers are the angels.

46 Who, when he had found one pearl 14 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 15 world 15: the angels shall come forth. and sever the wicked from among the just,
