10And the disciples having come near, said to him, ‘Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?’ 11And he answering said to them that—‘To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given, 12for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him.

13‘Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand, 14and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, 15for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them.

16‘And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear, 17for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which ye hear, and they did not hear.

18‘Ye, therefore, hear ye the simile of the sower: 19Every one hearing the word of the reign, and not understanding—the evil one doth come, and doth catch that which hath been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way.

20‘And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it, 21and he hath not root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled.

22‘And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, do choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

23‘And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed doth bear fruit, and doth make, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.’
