XX.

Precepts.

And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

1 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

2 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

XXI.

Parable of the Tares.

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field.

2 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

3 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
