Matthew Chapter 13
13:1The same day went Yahshua out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
13:2And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
13:3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went forth to sow;
13:4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
13:5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
13:6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
13:7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
13:8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
13:9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
13:11He 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.
13:12For 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.
13:13Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13:14And 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:
13:15For 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.
13:16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
13:17For 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.
13:18Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
13:19When 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.
13:20But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
13:21Yet 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.
13:22He 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.
13:23But 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.
13:24Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
13:25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
13:26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
13:27So 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?
13:28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
13:29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
13:30Let 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.
13:31Another 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:
13:32Which 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.
13:33Another 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.
13:34All these things spake Yahshua unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
13:35That 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.
13:36Then Yahshua 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.
13:37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
13:38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
13:39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
13:40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
13:41The 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;
13:42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:44Again, 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.
13:45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
13:46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
13:47Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
13:48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
13:49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
13:50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:51Yahshua saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Master.
13:52Then 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.
13:53And it came to pass, that when Yahshua had finished these parables, he departed thence.
13:54And 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?
13:55Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mariam? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
13:56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
13:57And they were offended in him. But Yahshua said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
13:58And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
13:1The same day went Yahshua out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
13:2And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
13:3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went forth to sow;
13:4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
13:5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
13:6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
13:7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
13:8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
13:9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
13:11He 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.
13:12For 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.
13:13Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13:14And 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:
13:15For 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.
13:16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
13:17For 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.
13:18Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
13:19When 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.

13:22He 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.
13:23But 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.

13:37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
13:38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
13:39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
13:40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
13:41The 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;
13:42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:44Again, 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.
13:45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
13:46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

13:48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
13:49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
13:50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
13:51Yahshua saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Master.
13:52Then 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.
13:53And it came to pass, that when Yahshua had finished these parables, he departed thence.
13:54And 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?
13:55Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mariam? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
13:56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
13:57And they were offended in him. But Yahshua said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
13:58And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Revelation Chapter 13
13:1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
13:3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
13:4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
13:5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
13:6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Yahweh, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
13:8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
13:9If any man have an ear, let him hear.
13:10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
13:11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
13:12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13:13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
13:14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
13:15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
13:16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
13:17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
13:1And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
13:3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
13:4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
13:5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
13:6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Yahweh, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
13:8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
13:9If any man have an ear, let him hear.
13:10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
13:11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
13:12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13:13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
13:14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
13:15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
13:16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
13:17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
13:18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Genesis Chapter 15 & 16
15:1After these things the word of Yahweh came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
15:2And Abram said, my Sovereign Yahweh, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
15:3And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
15:4And, behold, the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
15:5And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
15:6And he believed in Yahweh; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
15:7And he said unto him, I am Yahweh that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
15:8And he said, my Sovereign Yahweh, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
15:9And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
15:10And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
15:11And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
15:12And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
15:13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
15:14And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15:15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
15:16But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
15:17And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
15:18In the same day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
15:19The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
15:20And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
15:21And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
15:1After these things the word of Yahweh came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
15:2And Abram said, my Sovereign Yahweh, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
15:3And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
15:4And, behold, the word of Yahweh came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
15:5And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
15:6And he believed in Yahweh; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
15:7And he said unto him, I am Yahweh that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
15:8And he said, my Sovereign Yahweh, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
15:9And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
15:10And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
15:11And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
15:12And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
15:13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
15:14And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15:15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
15:16But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
15:17And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
15:18In the same day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
15:19The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
15:20And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
15:21And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Genesis Chapter 16
16:1Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
16:2And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, Yahweh hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
16:3And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
16:4And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
16:5And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Yahweh judge between me and thee.
16:6But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
16:7And the angel of Yahweh found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
16:8And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
16:9And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
16:10And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
16:11And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because Yahweh hath heard thy affliction.
16:12And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
16:13And she called the name of Yahweh that spake unto her, Thou El seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
16:14Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
16:15And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
16:16And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
16:1Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.

16:3And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
16:4And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
16:5And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: Yahweh judge between me and thee.
16:6But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
16:7And the angel of Yahweh found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

16:9And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
16:10And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
16:11And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because Yahweh hath heard thy affliction.
16:12And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
16:13And she called the name of Yahweh that spake unto her, Thou El seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
