The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 47: Matthew: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Matthew
13:38. And the field is the world. And the good seed are the children of
the kingdom. And the cockle are the children of the wicked one.
13:39. And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is
the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.
13:40. Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so
shall it be at the end of the world.
13:41. The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out
of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
13:42. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13:43. Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their
Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
13:44. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field.
Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth
all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
13:45. Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good
pearls.
13:46. Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and
sold all that he had, and bought it.
13:47. Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea,
and gathering together of all kinds of fishes.
13:48. Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the
shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast
forth.
13:49. So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out,
and shall separate the wicked from among the just.
13:50. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13:51. Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
13:52. He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the
kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth
forth out of his treasure new things and old.
13:53. And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he
passed from thence.
13:54. And coming into his own country, he taught them in their
synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this
wisdom and miracles?
13:55. Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary,
and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:
His brethren... These were the children of Mary the wife of Cleophas,
sister to our Blessed Lady, (St. Matt. 27. 56; St. John 19. 25,) and
therefore, according to the usual style of the Scripture, they were
called brethren, that is, near relations to our Saviour.
13:56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath
he all these things?
13:57. And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them:
A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own
house.
13:58. And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their
unbelief.
Matthew Chapter 14
Herod puts John to death. Christ feeds five thousand in the desert. He
walks upon the sea, and heals all the diseased with the touch of his
garment.
