1
18And others are the ones sown among thorns; they are those who hear the word,
19but the cares of the world, and the delight in riches, and the desire for other things, enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
20But those that were sown upon the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.”
21 Mt 5.15; Lk 8.16; 11.33. And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand?
22Mt 10.26; Lk 8.17; 12.2. For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light.
23Mt 11.15; Mk 4.9. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24Mt 7.2; Lk 6.38. And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you.
25Mt 13.12; 25.29; Lk 8.18; 19.26. For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
26 Mt 13.24-30. And he said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed upon the ground,
27and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he knows not how.
28The earth produces of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30 Mt 13.31-32; Lk 13.18-19. And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it?
31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth;
32yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
33With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it;
34Mt 13.34; Jn 16.25. he did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.
35 Mt 8.18,23-27; Lk 8.22-25. On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.”
36And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.
37And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.
38But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?”
39And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?”
41And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?”
