Gospel: Matthew 13:54-58
He went to his hometown and taught the people in their synagogue.
They were amazed and said, “Where did he get this wisdom and these special powers?
Isn’t he the carpenter’s son? Isn’t Mary his mother and aren’t James, Joseph, Simon and Judas his brothers?
Aren’t all his sisters living here? Where did he get all these things?”

Gospel: Matthew 13:47-53
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a big fishing net, let down into the sea, in which every kind of fish has been caught.
When the net is full, it is dragged ashore. Then they sit down and gather the good fish into buckets, but throw the bad away.
That is how it will be at the end of time; the angels will go out to separate the wicked from the just,
and to throw the wicked into the blazing furnace, where they will weep and gnash their teeth.”

Gospel: Matthew 13:31-35
Jesus offered them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
It is smaller than all other seeds, but once it is fully grown, it is bigger than any garden plant; like a tree,
the birds come and rest in its branches.”

Gospel: Matthew 13:44-52
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field. The one who finds it, buries it again;
and so happy is he, that he goes and sells everything he has, in order to buy that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader, who is looking for fine pearls.
Once he has found a pearl of exceptional quality, he goes away, sells everything he has and buys it.

Gospel: Matthew 13:18-23
Now listen to the parable of the sower. When a person hears the message of the kingdom, but does not take it seriously,

Gospel: Matthew 13:10-17
Then his disciples came to him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
Jesus answered, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but not to these people.
For the one who has will be given more; and he will have in abundance.
But the one who does not have will be deprived of even what he has.

Now, on the first day after the Sabbath, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning while it was still dark,
and she saw that the stone blocking the tomb had been moved away. She ran to Peter, and the other disciple whom Jesus loved,
and she said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb and we don’t know where they have laid him.”
