Demand for a sign of the Pharisees.

      (Mark. 8,11.12; Luke 11,24-26.29-32)

      Matt. 12,38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from you.

      Matt. 12,39 But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

      Matt. 12,40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale‘s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

      Jona 2,1.2; Eph 4,9; 1 Peter 3,19

      Matt. 12,41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

      Jona 3,5

      Matt. 12,42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

      1 Kings 10,1-10

      Matt. 12,43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

      Matt. 12,44 Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.

      Matt. 12,45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also to this wicked generation.

      (Mark 3,31-35; Luke 8,19-21)

      Matt. 12,46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

      chap. 13,55

      Matt. 12,47 And one said to him, Behold, your mother and your brethren stand outside, desiring to speak with you.

      Matt. 12,48 But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

      chap. 10,37; Luke 2,49

      Matt. 12,49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

      Chapter 13

      Of the sower.

      (Mark. 4,1-20; Luke 8,4-15)

      Matt. 13,1 The same day went Yahshua out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

      Matt. 13,2 And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

      Matt. 13,3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

      Matt. 13,4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

      Matt. 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:

      Matt. 13,6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

      Matt. 13,7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

      Matt. 13,8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

      Matt. 13,9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear.

      Matt. 13,10 And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speak you to them in parables?

      Matt. 13,11 He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

      1 Cor. 2,10

      Matt. 13,12 For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that he has.

      chap. 25,28.29; Mark 4,25; Luke 8,18

      Matt. 13,13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

      Deu. 29,3; John 16,25

      Matt. 13,14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which said, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

      Matt. 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.

      John 9,39

      Matt. 13,16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

      Luke 10,23.24

      Matt. 13,17 For truly I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.
