13 That same day, he had been teaching. to the Sea of Galilee and sat down to teach to 2 Then groups of people where Jesus was. were so many people, boat sat down there to teach. people shore of the Sea of Galilee to listen to him.

3 Jesus began use stories instruct many things. said, “Listen to this: farmer plant some grain seeds. 4 As scattering them over the soil, of the seeds birds down seeds 5 Other seeds soil on top of layer of rocks. were growing in seeds sprouted quickly. 6 However, sun on the new plants dried them up. did roots, plants died. 7 Other seeds area full of thorny plants. thorny plants quickly out grain plants. 8 Finally, seeds sprouted, the plants produced crop. plants 100 grains of wheat each, produced each, 30 grains each. 9 You should think carefully about what you just heard me say!”

10 Then, to Jesus asked you use instruct people?”

11 Jesus has revealed you things his has things these people. 12 I say that because will reveal even more people know some things about God’s heavenly kingdom. will know many things. contrast, will cause little about God’s heavenly kingdom know nothing about at all. 13 I use stories instruct people can look at things, they do see them. can hear what people say, they do listen to it from it. 14 What God said speaking through the prophet Isaiah come true them:

‘You will hear things, will from them.

will look at things, will see them.

15 These people do not understand because become stubborn;

their ears almost deaf;

and have closed do to see.

They do not want to listen

or to understand,

for then would come back to me,

and would welcome and forgive

16 However, is very good you, really see. It is very good for you, really listen. 17 Indeed, who spoke for God people who did what was right have wanted see things that are seeing me do. did to see them, they lived long ago. would have wanted to hear things that have said to you. did to hear them, they lived long ago. I have said is true.

18 So then, to me explain story the farmer who planted grain seeds. 19 Some people message God’s kingdom, do from it. message they heard their minds. people like seeds that 20 Other people are like seeds fell shallow soil on top of a layer of rocks. message about God’s kingdom, rejoice 21 However, are like plants without roots, do not live very long. fact, things people hurt them accepted the message about God’s kingdom, believing it. 22 Other people are like seeds fell area full of thorny plants. message about God’s kingdom, continue to focus on in this world becoming rich, though being rich is not as helpful as they think it will be. on these things message as thorny plants crowd out good plants them from producing a crop. 23 Other people are like seeds fell soil. message about God’s kingdom, learn from it. are like the plants produced a crop. plants of wheat each, 60 grains each, 30 grains each.”

24 Then Jesus told people said, “Here is what like: farmer seeds 25 However, farmer and his workers asleep, who hated farmer into the field seeds seeds. left before the farmer and his workers woke up. 26 Some time later, wheat plants to produce the same time, weed plants also sprouted, the workers noticed them. 27 So, workers this to farmer. said, ‘Sir, know that planted plants growing there!’

28 The farmer person hates me these weed plants.’

servants you want to go to the field remove the weeds plants?’

29 He not do that. you did, might remove of the wheat plants you were removing weed plants, they are growing together. 30 Allow wheat and weed plants grow in the field together begin to harvest them. will command people who are harvesting, “Pull up weed plants burn that, wheat plants store the grain

31 Then Jesus told people said, “Here is what God’s man tiny mustard seed 32 This kind of seed other kinds of seeds. sprouts, plant becomes tree is other plants that people grow. fact, nests there.”

33 Then Jesus told people said, “Here is what God’s woman out yeast mixed it 25 kilograms flour. yeast made whole batch of dough up.”

34 Jesus stories teach things the large groups of people who were standing on the shore of the sea. fact, taught using stories only. 35 So, God said speaking through of the prophets true:

“I will speak using stories.

I will reveal that have been secret created everything.”

36 After speaking these stories, departed from large groups of people entered house where he was staying. to asked, “Please teach story the weed plants the field

37 Jesus farmer who planted fertile grain seeds like the Son Man. 38 The like grain seeds like who participate God’s kingdom. plants like who obey 39 The who hated the farmer planted weed seeds like when the workers begin to harvest the grain like time period end. who are harvesting like 40 The workers collect weed plants them. is like will happen time period 41 I, the Son Man, have angels causes people to sin who does is wrong. will remove those things and people from kingdom. 42 Then, angels will cast things and people which is like a burning oven. will grind teeth. 43 After that, people who did what was right live in their Father’s will be as glorious sun when it shines. should think carefully about what you just heard me say!

44 Here is what God’s man field. was very happy, put the treasure back into its secret place. went home he owned. bought field so that he could have the treasure in it.

45 Here is what God’s trader 46 Eventually, saw expensive went home sold he owned. bought pearl.

apprentices answered, “Yes, know what they mean.”

52 Jesus then, teachers leader has trained them participate in God’s are manage households. That is because both the teachers and the people who manage households things are valuable.”

53 So, telling he left place. 54 Then traveled city of Nazareth, he had grown up. instructed people there they gathered in Jewish meeting place. he said impressed said to each other, “We do not know how man so wise 55 He is brothers James, 56 All in our town. do not know how man to do things.”

57 These people rejected only ones do respect who speak for God those from where they grew up own families.” 58 Since people not trust in him, did few things that place.
