1 I opet poče učiti kod mora, i skupiše se oko Njega ljudi mnogi tako da mora ući u lađu, i sedeti na moru; a narod sav beše na zemlji kraj mora. 2 I učaše ih u pričama mnogo, i govoraše im u nauci svojoj: 3 Slušajte: evo iziđe sejač da seje. 4 I kad sejaše, dogodi se da jedno pade ukraj puta, i dođoše ptice i pozobaše ga. 5 A drugo pade na kamenito mesto gde ne beše mnogo zemlje; i odmah izniče; jer ne beše u dubinu zemlje: 6 A kad obasja sunce, uvenu, i budući da nemaše korena, usahnu. 7 I drugo pade u trnje; i naraste trnje i udavi ga, i ne donese rod. 8 I drugo pade na zemlju dobru; i davaše rod koji je napredovao i rastao i donosio po trideset i po šezdeset i po sto. 9 I reče: Ko ima uši da čuje neka čuje. 10 A kad osta sam, zapitaše Ga koji behu s Njim i sa dvanaestoricom za ovu priču. 11 I reče im: Vama je dano da znate tajne carstva Božjeg, a onima napolju sve u pričama biva; 12 da očima gledaju i da ne vide, i ušima slušaju i da ne razumeju; da se kako ne obrate i da im se ne oproste gresi. 13 I reče im: Zar ne razumete ovu priču? A kako ćete sve priče razumeti? 14 Sejač reč seje. 15 A ono su kraj puta, gde se seje reč i kad je čuju odmah dođe sotona i otme reč posejanu u srcima njihovim. 16 Tako su i ono što se seje na kamenitim mestima, koji kad čuju reč odmah je prime s radošću; 17 ali nemaju korena u sebi, nego su nepostojani, pa kad bude do nevolje ili ih poteraju reči radi, odmah se sablazne. 18 A ono su što se u trnju seje koji slušaju reč, 19 ali brige ovog sveta i prevara bogatstva i ostale slasti uđu i zaguše reč, i bez roda ostane. 20 A ono su što se na dobroj zemlji seje koji slušaju reč i primaju, i donose rod po trideset i po šezdeset i po sto. 21 I govoraše im: Eda li se sveća užiže da se metne pod sud ili pod odar? A ne da se na svećnjak metne? 22 Jer nema ništa tajno što neće biti javno; niti ima šta sakriveno što neće izaći na videlo. 23 Ako ima ko uši da čuje neka čuje. 24 I govoraše im: Pamtite šta čujete: kakvom merom merite onakvom će vam se meriti i dometnuće se vama koji slušate. 25 Jer ko ima, daće mu se; a koji nema, uzeće mu se i ono što ima. 26 I govoraše im: Tako je carstvo Božje kao čovek kad baci seme u zemlju; 27 i spava i ustaje noću i danju; i seme niče i raste, da ne zna on. 28 Jer zemlja sama od sebe najpre donese travu, potom klas, pa onda ispuni pšenicu u klasu. 29 A kad sazre rod, odmah pošalje srp; jer nasta žetva. 30 I govoraše: Kakvo ćemo kazati da je carstvo Božje? Ili u kakvoj ćemo ga priči iskazati? 31 Ono je kao zrno gorušičino koje kad se poseje u zemlju manje je od svih semena na zemlji; 32 a kad se poseje, uzraste i bude veće od sveg povrća, i pusti grane velike da mogu u njegovom hladu ptice nebeske živeti. 33 I takvim mnogim pričama kazivaše im reč, koliko mogahu slušati. 34 A bez priča ne govoraše im ni reči. A učenicima posebno kazivaše sve. 35 I reče im onaj dan uveče: Hajdemo na one strane. 36 I otpustivši narod uzeše Ga kako beše u lađi; a i druge lađe behu s Njim. 37 I postade velika oluja; i valovi tako zalivahu u lađu da se već napuni. 38 A On na krmi spavaše na uzglavlju; i probudiše Ga, i rekoše Mu: Učitelju! Zar Ti ne mariš što ginemo? 39 I ustavši zapreti vetru, i reče moru: Ćuti, prestani. I utoli vetar, i postade tišina velika. 40 I reče im: Zašto ste tako strašljivi? Kako nemate vere. 41 I uplašiše se vrlo, i govorahu jedan drugom: Ko je Ovaj, dakle, da Ga i vetar i more slušaju?

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… if they do not call Himself the Son of the Creator of the world, that is, His Word, through whom the wood fructifies, and the fountains gush forth, and the earth gives "first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear."
Therefore also another evangelist saith that He reproved them, because they do not understand; saying, "How knew ye not the parable?" But not for this cause only doth He speak in parables, but that He may also make His discourse more vivid, and fix the memory of it in them more perfectly, and bring the things before their sight.
