hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
30
Because they said, He hath an
unclean spirit.
31
There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling
him.
32
And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
without seek for thee.
33
And he answered them, saying,
Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34
And
he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said,
Behold my mother and my brethren!
35
For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
CHAPTER 4
And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so
that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2
And he taught themmany things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
3
Hearken; Behold,
there went out a sower to sow:
4
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and
the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not
much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6
But when the sun
was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7
And some fell among
thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8
And other fell on good
ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some
sixty, and some an hundred.
9
And he said unto them,
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10
And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11
And he said unto them,
Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but
unto them that are without, all these
things
are done in parables:
12
That seeing they may see, and
not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be
converted, and
their
sins should be forgiven them.
13
And he said unto them,
Know ye not this
parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
14
The sower soweth the word.
15
And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown;
but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in
their hearts.
16
And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have
heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17
And have no root in themselves, and so
endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake,
immediately they are offended.
18
And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear
the word,
19
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other
things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
20
And these are they which are
sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive
it,
and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold,
some sixty, and some an hundred.
