Matthew 13:1 Cross References - WPNT

¹ On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

²⁸ And arriving in the house, the blind men approached Him; so He says to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They say to Him, “Yes, Lord”.

¹ On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. ² And large crowds were gathered together to Him, so He got into a boat to sit down; and the whole crowd stood on the shore. ³ Then He spoke many things to them in parables saying: “Listen, a sower went out to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some seeds fell alongside the road, and the birds came and devoured them. ⁵ Others fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; so they sprouted quickly because they had no depth of earth. ⁶ But when the sun came up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. ⁷ And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and smothered them. ⁸ But others fell on the good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. ⁹ He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” ¹⁰ And the disciples approached and said to Him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” ¹¹ So in answer He said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given. ¹² For whoever has, to him more will be given and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. ¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables, that seeing they not see and hearing they not hear nor understand. ¹⁴ And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘By hearing you (ye) will hear and not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive. ¹⁵ Because the \up6 a\up0 hearts of this people have grown dull, and their \up6 b\up0 ears hard of hearing, and their \up6 c\up0 eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their \up6 c\up0 eyes and hear with their \up6 b\up0 ears and understand with their \up6 a\up0 hearts, and turn around; and I would heal them.’

³⁶ Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples approached Him saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field”.

¹³ Then He went out again by the sea; and the whole crowd came to Him, and He began to teach them.

¹ Once again He began to teach beside the sea. And a large crowd was gathered to Him, so that He got into the boat and sat down, out on the water, while the whole crowd was on the land, at the water’s edge. ² Then He began teaching them many things by parables and said to them in His teaching: ³ “Listen! Yes, a sower went out to sow. ⁴ And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. ⁵ Some fell on the rocky area where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up quickly because it had no depth of soil. ⁶ But upon the sun’s rising it was scorched, and because it had no root it was withered up. ⁷ And some fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and smothered it, and it yielded no fruit. ⁸ And some fell into the good ground, and coming up and growing it started to produce fruit—yielding thirty times as much, sixty times as much, even a hundred times as much.” ⁹ Then He said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” ¹⁰ But when He was alone, those who were around Him, with the twelve, asked Him about the parable. ¹¹ So He said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, everything is being given in parables, ¹² so that: ‘Seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; so that they should not return and their sins be forgiven them’.”

⁴ Now when a large crowd had gathered, with people coming to Him from town after town, He spoke by a parable: ⁵ “A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed some fell along the road and it got trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it. ⁶ And some fell on the rock ledge, and upon sprouting it withered, because it had no moisture. ⁷ And some fell among thorns, and springing up together the thorns choked it. ⁸ The rest fell into the good ground, and growing up it produced fruit a hundredfold.” Upon saying these things He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” ⁹ Then His disciples asked Him saying, “What does this parable mean?” ¹⁰ So He said: “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest only in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand’.
