Jesus

Then one said vnto him, Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speake with thee.

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

And he stretched foorth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Beholde my mother and my brethren.

For whosoeuer shall doe my Fathers will which is in heauen, the same is my brother and sister and mother.

The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.

And great multitudes resorted vnto him, so that he went into a ship, and sate downe: and the whole multitude stoode on the shore.

Then he spake many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sowe.

Then the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

Therefore speake I to them in parables, because they seeing, doe not see: and hearing, they heare not, neither vnderstand.

For this peoples heart is waxed fat, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes they haue winked, lest they should see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and should vnderstand with their hearts, and should returne, that I might heale them.

For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which ye see, and haue not seene them, and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.

Another parable put hee foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a man which sowed good seede in his fielde.

Another parable he put foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a graine of mustard seede, which a man taketh and soweth in his fielde:

Another parable spake hee to them, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto leauen, which a woman taketh and hideth in three pecks of meale, till all be leauened.

All these thinges spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without parables spake he not to them,

That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, and will vtter the thinges which haue beene kept secrete from the foundation of the worlde.

Then sent Iesus the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came vnto him, saying, Declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of that fielde.

Then answered he, and saide to them, He that soweth the good seede, is the Sonne of man.

The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie,

Iesus saide vnto them, Vnderstand yee all these things? They saide vnto him, Yea, Lord.

Then sayd hee vnto them, Therefore euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kingdome of heauen, is like vnto an householder, which bringeth foorth out of his treasure things both newe and olde.

And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence,

And came into his owne countrey, and taught them in their Synagogue, so that they were astonied, and saide, Whence commeth this wisdome and great woorkes vnto this man?

Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie, and his brethren Iames and Ioses, and Simon and Iudas?

And are not his sisters all with vs? Whence then hath he all these things?
