GALILEE.- The parable of the sower. A 58 ND he began again to teach by the sea side; and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. And he taught them many things by parables," and said unto them in his doctrine, 3" Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow : and it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6 but when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, herbs meet for and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 And other fell on good ground, and did God. He. 6, 7. yield fruit" that sprang up and in driveth away. 11. 7 Thus saith the Lord to the men of Judah and Break up your and sow not a fallow ground, mong thorns. r The earthwhich ...bringeth forth them by (for) whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11 And he said unto them, "Unto you" it is Having made given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without," all these things are done pleasure which in parables: 12 that 'SEEING THEY MAY SEE, AND NOT PERCEIVE; AND HEARING THEY MAY HEAR, AND NOT UNDERSTAND; LEST AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD BE CONVERTED, AND their SINS SHOULD BE FORGIVEN THEM.'" Jesus explains the parable. 60 13 And he said unto them, "Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the word." 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have...

Jesus delivers several parables. 62 26 And he said, "So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.i 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."k 30 And he said, "Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it ? 31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: 32 but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it." 33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it." But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. 63 SEA OF GALILEE. 28.
