## Matthew 13:19-23 in Context (Verses 16–26 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/13/16) But blessed *are* your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/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.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/13/18) ¶ Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/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;
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/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.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/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.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/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.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/matthew/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:
 
 [25 ](/kjv/matthew/13/25) But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/matthew/13/26) But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
