15 Neither [3761] do men light [2545] a candle [3088], and [2532] put [5087] it [846] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]; and [2532] it giveth light [2989] unto all [3956] that are in [1722] the house [3614].
4 And [1161] when much [4183] people [3793] were gathered together [4896], and [2532] were come [1975] to [4314] him [846] out of every [2596] city [4172], he spake [2036] by [1223] a parable [3850]:
5 A sower [4687] went out [1831] to sow [4687] his [846] seed [4703]: and [2532] as [1722] he [846] sowed [4687], some [3739] [3303] fell [4098] by [3844] the way side [3598]; and [2532] it was trodden down [2662], and [2532] the fowls [4071] of the air [3772] devoured [2719] it [846].
6 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] upon [1909] a rock [4073]; and [2532] as soon as it was sprung up [5453], it withered away [3583], because [1223] it lacked [3361] [2192] moisture [2429].
7 And [2532] some [2087] fell [4098] among [1722] [3319] thorns [173]; and [2532] the thorns [173] sprang up with it [4855], and choked [638] [1970] it [846].
8 And [2532] other [2087] fell [4098] on [1909] good [18] ground [1093], and [2532] sprang up [5453], and bare [4160] fruit [2590] an hundredfold [1542]. And when he had said [3004] these things [5023], he cried [5455], He that hath [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
9 And [1161] his [846] disciples [3101] asked [1905] him [846], saying [3004], What [5101] might [1498] this [3778] parable [3850] be [1498]?
10 And [1161] he said [2036], Unto you [5213] it is given [1325] to know [1097] the mysteries [3466] of the kingdom [932] of God [2316]: but [1161] to others [3062] in [1722] parables [3850]; that [2443] seeing [991] they might [991] not [3361] see [991], and [2532] hearing [191] they might [4920] not [3361] understand [4920].
11 Now [1161] the parable [3850] is [2076] this [3778]: The seed [4703] is [2076] the word [3056] of God [2316].
12 Those [1161] by [3844] the way side [3598] are [1526] they that hear [191]; then [1534] cometh [2064] the devil [1228], and [2532] taketh away [142] the word [3056] out of [575] their [846] hearts [2588], lest [3363] they should believe [4100] and be saved [4982].
13 [1161] They on [1909] the rock [4073] are they, which [3739], when [3752] they hear [191], receive [1209] the word [3056] with [3326] joy [5479]; and [2532] these [3778] have [2192] no [3756] root [4491], which [3739] for [4314] a while [2540] believe [4100], and [2532] in [1722] time [2540] of temptation [3986] fall away [868].
14 And [1161] that which fell [4098] among [1519] thorns [173] are [1526] they [3778], which, when they have heard [191], go forth [4198], and [2532] are choked [4846] with [5259] cares [3308] and [2532] riches [4149] and [2532] pleasures [2237] of this life [979], and [2532] bring [5052] no [3756] fruit to perfection [5052].
15 But [1161] that on [1722] the good [2570] ground [1093] are [1526] they [3778], which [3748] in [1722] an honest [2570] and [2532] good [18] heart [2588], having heard [191] the word [3056], keep [2722] it, and [2532] bring forth fruit [2592] with [1722] patience [5281].
16 [1161] No man [3762], when he hath lighted [681] a candle [3088], covereth [2572] it [846] with a vessel [4632], or [2228] putteth [5087] it under [5270] a bed [2825]; but [235] setteth [2007] it on [1909] a candlestick [3087], that [2443] they which enter in [1531] may see [991] the light [5457].
17 For [1063] nothing [3756] is [2076] secret [2927], that [3739] shall [1096] not [3756] be made [1096] manifest [5318]; neither [3761] any thing hid [614], that [3739] shall [1097] not [3756] be known [1097] and [2532] come [2064] abroad [1519] [5318].
18 Take heed [991] therefore [3767] how [4459] ye hear [191]: for [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192], to him [846] shall be given [1325]; and [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] hath [2192] not [3361], from [575] him [846] shall be taken [142] even [2532] that which [3739] he seemeth [1380] to have [2192].
21 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Is [3385] a candle [3088] brought [2064] to [2443] be put [5087] under [5259] a bushel [3426], or [2228] under [5259] a bed [2825]? and not [3756] to [2443] be set [2007] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]?
22 For [1063] there is [2076] nothing [3756] hid [2927] [5100], which [3739] shall [5319] not [3362] be manifested [5319]; neither [3761] was any thing kept [1096] secret [614], but [235] that [2443] it should come [2064] abroad [1519] [5318].
23 If any man [1536] have [2192] ears [3775] to hear [191], let him hear [191].
24 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Take heed [991] what [5101] ye hear [191]: with [1722] what [3739] measure [3358] ye mete [3354], it shall be measured [3354] to you [5213]: and [2532] unto you [5213] that hear [191] shall more be given [4369].
25 For [1063] [302] he that [3739] hath [2192], to him [846] shall be given [1325]: and [2532] he that [3739] hath [2192] not [3756], from [575] him [846] shall be taken [142] even [2532] that which [3739] he hath [2192].
15 Neither [3761] do men light [2545] a candle [3088], and [2532] put [5087] it [846] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]; and [2532] it giveth light [2989] unto all [3956] that are in [1722] the house [3614].
21 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Is [3385] a candle [3088] brought [2064] to [2443] be put [5087] under [5259] a bushel [3426], or [2228] under [5259] a bed [2825]? and not [3756] to [2443] be set [2007] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]?
33 [1161] No man [3762], when he hath lighted [681] a candle [3088], putteth [5087] it in [1519] a secret place [2926], neither [3761] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087], that [2443] they which [3588] come in [1531] may see [991] the light [5338].
21 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Is [3385] a candle [3088] brought [2064] to [2443] be put [5087] under [5259] a bushel [3426], or [2228] under [5259] a bed [2825]? and not [3756] to [2443] be set [2007] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]?
15 Neither [3761] do men light [2545] a candle [3088], and [2532] put [5087] it [846] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]; and [2532] it giveth light [2989] unto all [3956] that are in [1722] the house [3614].
22 For [1063] there is [2076] nothing [3756] hid [2927] [5100], which [3739] shall [5319] not [3362] be manifested [5319]; neither [3761] was any thing kept [1096] secret [614], but [235] that [2443] it should come [2064] abroad [1519] [5318].
21 And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], Is [3385] a candle [3088] brought [2064] to [2443] be put [5087] under [5259] a bushel [3426], or [2228] under [5259] a bed [2825]? and not [3756] to [2443] be set [2007] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]?
26 Fear [5399] them [846] not [3361] therefore [3767]: for [1063] there is [2076] nothing [3762] covered [2572], that [3739] shall [601] not [3756] be revealed [601]; and [2532] hid [2927], that [3739] shall [1097] not [3756] be known [1097].
15 Neither [3761] do men light [2545] a candle [3088], and [2532] put [5087] it [846] under [5259] a bushel [3426], but [235] on [1909] a candlestick [3087]; and [2532] it giveth light [2989] unto all [3956] that are in [1722] the house [3614].
