46
 While he [Jesus] yet talked to the people, behold,
his
mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47
 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48
 But he answered and said unto him that told him,
Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49
 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said,
Behold my mother and my brethren!
50
Â
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
13:
1
 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2
 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3
 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4
Â
and when he sowed, some
seeds
fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5
Â
some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6
Â
and when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7
Â
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8
Â
but other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9
Â
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10
 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
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.
12
Â
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.
13
Â
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14
Â
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:
15
Â
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.
16
Â
But blessed
are
your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17
Â
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
Â
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19
Â
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
Â
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21
Â
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
Â
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
Â
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.
A prayer of David.
1
 Hear the right, O L
ORD
, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer,
that goeth
not out of feigned lips.
2
 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3
 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited
me
in the night; thou hast tried me,
and
shalt find nothing; I am purposed
that
my mouth shall not transgress.
4
 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept
me from
the paths of the destroyer.
5
 Hold up my goings in thy paths,
that
my footsteps slip not.
6
 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me,
and hear
my speech.
7
 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust
in thee
from those that rise up
against them.
8
 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9
 From the wicked that oppress me,
from
my deadly enemies,
who
compass me about.
10
 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11
 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12
 Like as a lion
that
is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13
 Arise, O L
ORD
, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked,
which is
thy sword:
14
 From men
which are
thy hand, O L
ORD
, from men of the world,
which have
their portion in
this
life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid
treasure:
they are full of children, and leave the rest of their
substance
to their babes.
15
 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
33
 The curse of the L
ORD
is
in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34
 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35
 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
17
 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18
 and, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19
 and, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20
 and the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21
 and when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they
were
still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22
 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
23
 and, behold, seven ears, withered, thin,
and
blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24
 and the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told
this
unto the magicians; but
there was
none that could declare
it
to me.
25
 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh
is
one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he
is
about to do.
26
 The seven good kine
are
seven years; and the seven good ears
are
seven years: the dream
is
one.
27
 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them
are
seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28
 This
is
the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God
is
about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29
 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30
 and there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31
 and the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it
shall be
very grievous.
32
 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice;
it is
because the thing
is
established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33
 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34
 Let Pharaoh do
this,
and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35
 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36
 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37
 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38
 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find
such a one
as this
is,
a man in whom the Spirit of God
is?
39
 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this,
there is
none so discreet and wise as thou
art:
40
 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41
 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42
 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43
 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him
ruler
over all the land of Egypt.
44
 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I
am
Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45
 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over
all
the land of Egypt.
46
 And Joseph
was
thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47
 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48
 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which
was
round about every city, laid he up in the same.
49
 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for
it was
without number.
50
 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
51
 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God,
said he,
hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52
 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53
 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
54
 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55
 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
56
 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
57
 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy
corn;
because that the famine was
so
sore in all lands.
42:
1
 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
2
 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
3
 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
4
 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
5
 And the sons of Israel came to buy
corn
among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6
 And Joseph
was
the governor over the land,
and
he
it was
that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him
with
their faces to the earth.
7
 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye?
And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8
 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
9
 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye
are
spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
10
 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
11
 We
are
all one man's sons; we
are
true
men,
thy servants are no spies.
12
 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
13
 And they said, Thy servants
are
twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest
is
this day with our father, and one
is
not.
14
 And Joseph said unto them, That
is it
that I spake unto you, saying, Ye
are
spies:
15
 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
16
 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether
there be any
truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye
are
spies.
17
 And he put them all together into ward three days.
