MATTHEW 13 1-17

     πŸƒπŸ•Š️02/13 - GospeL Verses πŸ•Š️πŸƒ

1 - A while later that same day, Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2 And a great crowd gathered around him, so many so, that he got into a boat and sat down, and while the crowd stood on the beach, 3 he told them many things in parables, saying, “A sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and ate up the seed. 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, but since they had no depth of soil, 6 when the sun rose high, they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. 7 Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them off. 8 But some seed fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirtyfold. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.” {🌽}

     10 Then the disciples came up to him and asked, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” 11 And he answered, “To you it’s been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it hasn’t been given. 12 For to the one who has, more will be given, and they will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what they have will be lost. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing they don’t hear, nor do they understand”. {Mortal person cannot understand until God calls.. and “the seed” Jesus is implanted in them and God waters and nourishes it.} 14 “Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, ‘You will indeed hear but not understand, and you will indeed see but not perceive. 15 For the heart has grown dull, and with ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’ [Isaiah 6:9-10]

     16 But - blessed - are your eyes, for they are seeing, and your ears, for they are hearing. 17 For truly, I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you now see, and didn’t see it, and to hear what you now hear, and didn’t hear it.”
