Eze
12:2
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious
house, which have eyes to see, and see not;
they
have ears to hear, and hear not: for they [are] a rebellious house.
Mat
11:3
| And said unto him, Art thou he that should
come, or do we look for another? |
| Mat
11:4 |
Jesus
answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which
ye do hear and see: |
| Mat
11:5 |
The
blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and
the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached
to them. |
| Mat
11:6 |
And
blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me. |
Of John the baptist
He says:
| Mat
11:10 |
For
this is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. |
| Mat
11:12 |
And
from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take it by force. |
| Mat
11:13 |
For
all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. |
| Mat
11:14 |
And
if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was
for to come. |
| Mat
11:15 |
He
that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
| Mat
13:3 |
And
he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went
forth to sow; |
| Mat
13:4 |
And
when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and
devoured them up: |
| Mat
13:5 |
Some
fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they
sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: |
| Mat
13:6 |
And
when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they
withered away. |
| Mat
13:7 |
And
some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: |
| Mat
13:8 |
But
other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold,
some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. |
| Mat
13:9 |
Who
hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
| Mat
13:10 |
And
the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? |
| Mat
13:11 |
He
answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. |
| Mat
13:12 |
For
whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance:
but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. |
| Mat
13:13 |
Therefore
speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and
hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. |
| Mat
13:14 |
And
in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing
ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall
not perceive: |
| Mat
13:15 |
For
this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of
hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see
with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with
[their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. |
| Mat
13:16 |
But blessed [are]
your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. |
| Mat
13:17 |
For
verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired
to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear
[those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them]. |
| Mat
13:18 |
Hear
ye therefore the parable of the sower. |
| Mat
13:19 |
When
any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth
[it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was
sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. |
| Mat 13:20 |
But
he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth
the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; |
| Mat 13:21 |
Yet
hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation
or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. |
| Mat
13:22 |
He
also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the
word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. |
| Mat
13:23 |
But
he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth
the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and
bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. |
| Mat
13:24 |
Another
parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened
unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: |
| Mat
13:25 |
But
while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went
his way. |
| Mat
13:26 |
But when the
blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares
also. |
| Mat
13:27 |
So
the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not
thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? |
| Mat 13:28 |
He
said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt
thou then that we go and gather them up? |
| Mat 13:29 |
But
he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat
with them. |
| Mat
13:30 |
Let
both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will
say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them
in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. |
| Mat
13:31
| Another parable
put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain
of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: |
| Mat 13:32 |
Which
indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest
among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and
lodge in the branches thereof. |
| Mat
13:33 |
Another
parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven,
which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole
was leavened. |
| Mat
13:34 |
All these things
spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake
he not unto them: |
| Mat 13:35 |
That
it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will
open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret
from the foundation of the world. |
| Mat 13:36 |
Then
Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples
came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the
field. |
| Mat
13:37 |
He answered and
said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; |
| Mat
13:38 |
The
field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but
the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; |
| Mat
13:39 |
The
enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world;
and the reapers are the angels. |
| Mat
13:40 |
As
therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be
in the end of this world. |
| Mat
13:41 |
The
Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his
kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; |
| Mat
13:42 |
And
shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing
of teeth. |
| Mat
13:43 |
Then shall the
righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath
ears to hear, let him hear.
|
| Mat
13:44 |
Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which
when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth
all that he hath, and buyeth that field. |
| Mat
13:45 |
Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: |
| Mat 13:46 |
Who,
when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he
had, and bought it. |
| Mat
13:47 |
Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea,
and gathered of every kind: |
| Mat
13:48 |
Which,
when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good
into vessels, but cast the bad away. |
| Mat
13:49 |
So
shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall
come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, |
| Mat
13:50 |
And
shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing
of teeth. |
| Mat
13:51 |
Jesus saith unto
them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. |
| Mat
13:52 |
Then
said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the
kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth
forth out of his treasure [things] new and old. |
| Mat
13:53 |
And
it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed
thence. |
| Mat
13:54 |
And when he was
come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch
that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [man] this wisdom,
and [these] mighty works? |
| Mat 13:55 |
Is
not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren,
James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? |
| Mat 13:56 |
And
his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all
these things? |
| Mat
13:57 |
And
they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not
without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. |
| Mar
4:3 |
Hearken;
Behold, there went out a sower to sow: |
| Mar
4:4 |
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. |
| Mar
4:5 |
And
some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately
it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: |
| Mar
4:6 |
But
when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered
away. |
| Mar
4:7 |
And
some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded
no fruit. |
| Mar
4:8 |
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. |
| Mar
4:9 |
And
he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
| Mar
4:10 |
And
when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him
the parable. |
| Mar
4:11 |
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: |
| Mar
4:12 |
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.
| Mar
4:13 |
And
he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all
parables? |
|
| Mar
4:15 |
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. |
| Mar
4:16 |
And these are
they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard
the word, immediately receive it with gladness; |
| Mar
4:17 |
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. |
| Mar 4:18 |
And
these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, |
| Mar
4:19 |
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. |
| Mar
4:20 |
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. |
| Mar 4:21 |
And
he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under
a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? |
| Mar
4:22 |
For
there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing
kept secret, but that it should come abroad. |
| Mar
4:23 |
If
any man have ears to hear, let him hear. |
| Mar
7:10 |
For
Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father
or mother, let him die the death: |
| Mar
7:11 |
But
ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that
is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; [he shall
be free]. |
| Mar
7:12 |
And
ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; |
| Mar
7:13 |
Making
the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered:
and many such like things do ye. |
| Mar
7:14 |
And
when he had called all the people [unto him], he said unto them, Hearken
unto me every one [of you], and understand: |
| Mar
7:15 |
There
is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but
the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. |
| Mar
7:16 |
If
any man have ears to hear, let him hear. |
| Luk
8:4 |
And
when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every
city, he spake by a parable: |
| Luk
8:5 |
A
sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side;
and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. |
| Luk
8:6 |
And
some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away,
because it lacked moisture. |
| Luk
8:7 |
And
some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. |
| Luk
8:8 |
And
other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold.
And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to
hear, let him hear. |
| Luk
8:9 |
And
his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? |
| Luk
8:10 |
And
he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing
they might not understand. |
| Luk
8:11 |
Now the parable is
this: The seed is the word of God. |
| Luk
8:12 |
Those
by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away
the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. |
| Luk
8:13 |
They
on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive the word with joy;
and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation
fall away. |
| Luk
8:14 |
And
that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth,
and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring
no fruit to perfection. |
| Luk
8:15 |
But
that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having
heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with patience. |
| Luk
8:16 |
No
man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth
[it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick, that they which enter
in may see the light. |
| Luk
8:17 |
For
nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing]
hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. |
| Luk
8:18 |
Take
heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be
given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he
seemeth to have. |
| Luk
8:19 |
Then
came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for
the press. |
| Luk
8:20 |
And
it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand
without, desiring to see thee. |
| Luk
8:21 |
And
he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren
are these which hear the word of God, and do it. |
| Luk
14:26 |
If
any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot
be my disciple.
|
Luk
14:27 |
And
whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
|
Luk
14:28 |
For
which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and
counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]?
|
Luk
14:29 |
Lest
haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it],
all that behold [it] begin to mock him,
|
Luk
14:30 |
Saying,
This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
|
Luk
14:31 |
Or
what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first,
and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh
against him with twenty thousand? |
|
Luk
14:32 |
Or
else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage,
and desireth conditions of peace. |
|
Luk
14:33 |
So
likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath,
he cannot be my disciple. |
|
Luk
14:34 |
Salt
[is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be
seasoned? |
|
Luk
14:35 |
It
is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; [but] men cast
it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |
WE
ARE INDEED BLESSED!
| Mat
13:17 |
For
verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired
to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear
[those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them]. |
OH, HOW
WE, JUST LIKE THE RIGHTEOUS MEN AND PROPHETS OF OLD, WOULD YEARN TO HAVE
BEEN AT THE FEET OF JESUS, TO HAVE SEEN HIS FACE AND HIS WISDOM, AND
HAVE HEARD HIS VOICE! BUT, WE HAVE HIS LOVE LETTER TO US, AND HIS ETERNAL
PROMISES IN OUR BIBLES. THROUGH HIS ENDURING, LIVING WORD TO US,
AND HIS INDWELLING US WITH THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE CAN
HAVE EYES TO SEE AND EARS TO HEAR--AND TO DO HIS WILL!
NOTE THAT, THE ANGELS ARE THE REAPERS OF THE HARVEST, BUT BY HIS GRACE, HE
COMES PERSONALLY TO RECEIVE HIS BRIDE IN THE CLOUDS OF HIS GLORY!!!
AWESOME!
