Matthew 13
1 And on that day, having departed from the house, Jesus was sitting beside the sea.
On that day Jesus having come out from the house, was sitting by the sea:
2 And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore.
and many multitudes were gathered unto Him, so that having gone into a ship, He sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.
And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
And while he was sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and ate them up.
5 But others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much soil, and straightaway they sprang up because they had no depth of soil.
And others fell among stones, where they had not much earth: and sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.
and the sun having risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And others fell in the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
But others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
8 But others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
But others fell in good ground, and gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He who has ears, let him hear.
Let him that hath ears to hear, hear.
10 And the disciples having come, they said to him, Why do thou speak to them in parables?
And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables?
11 And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.
He responding said to them, Because it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
But whosoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have more abundantly: but whosoever has not, it shall be taken from him even what he has.
13 Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.
Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
And the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled unto them, saying, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may not perceive.
15 For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.
Because the heart of this people is waxed gross, and they heard heavily with their ears, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I shall heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
17 For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.
Truly I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see those things which you see, and saw them not; and to hear those things which you hear, and heard them not.
18 Hear ye then the parable of the man who sows.
Therefore hear ye the parable of the sower.
19 Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.
Every one hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding it, the wicked one comes, and seizes away that which is sown in his heart: he is the one sown by the wayside.
20 And that which was sown upon the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and straightaway receiving it with joy,
But the one sown upon the rocks, is he who heareth the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 yet he has no root in himself, instead it is temporary. And when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway he is caused to stumble.
but it has no root in him, but is temporary; and tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, immediately he is offended.
22 And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
But the one sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word; and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke out the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 But that which was sown upon the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and is productive, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
And the one having been sown on good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly bears fruit, and produces, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
24 He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man sowing good seed in his field.
He put forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man sowing good seed in his field.
25 But while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.
And while the men slept, an enemy came, and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and departed.
26 And when the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
And when the blades sprang up, and produced fruit, then the tares were also made manifest.
27 But the bondmen of the house-ruler having come, they said to him, Sir, did thou not sow good seed in thy field? From where then does it have tares?
And the servants of the landlord having come to him said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? whence then hath it tares?
28 And he said to them, A hostile man did this. And the bondmen said to him, Do thou desire therefore, after going, we would gather them up?
And he said to them, A hostile man did this. And the servants say to him, Then do you wish that we, having gone, may gather them?
29 But he said, No, lest while gathering up the tares, ye uproot the wheat together with them.
And he says, No; lest gathering the tares together you may at the same time along with them root up the wheat.
30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles in order to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.
Let both grow together till the harvest: and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, First gather the tares, and bind them in bundles, in order to burn them: and gather the wheat into my barn.
31 He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard plant, which having taken, a man sowed in his field.
And He submitted another parable to them, saying; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which, a man having taken, sowed in his field;
32 Which indeed is smaller than all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and lodge in the branches of it.
which indeed is the smallest of all seeds; and when it grows up, is the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven indeed lodge in its branches.
33 He spoke another parable to them. The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which having taken, a woman hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened.
And he spake another parable unto them; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto the leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes, and he did not speak to them independent of a parable,
Jesus spoke all of these things to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He was not speaking to them:
35 so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things concealed from the foundation of the world.
in order that the word spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables: I will make known the things which have been hidden from the foundation.
36 Then having sent the multitudes away, Jesus came into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
Then leaving the multitudes, He came into the house: and His disciples came to Him saying; Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 And having answered, he said to them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of man,
And He responding said, The one sowing the good seed is the Son of man;
38 and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of evil.
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the wicked one,
39 And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are agents. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy sowing them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned in fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
Then as the tares are gathered and burnt up with fire; so it will be in the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man will send forth his agents, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness,
The Son of man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. But let the one having ears, hear.
44 Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man having found, he hid. And from the joy of it, he goes and sells all, as many things as he has, and buys that field.
The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a treasure having been hidden in a field; which a man having found, concealed; and from his joy he goes and sells all things so many as he has, and buys that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man seeking beautiful pearls:
46 Who, having found one very valuable pearl, after departing, sold all, as many things as he had, and bought it.
and having found one pearl of great price, having gone away he sold all things, so many as he had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered from every kind,
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a net cast into the sea, and gathering of every kind;
48 which, when it was full, after dragging to the shore, having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, but they cast out the useless.
which, when it was filled, drawing up on the shore, and sitting down, they gathered the good into baskets, and threw the bad away.
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The agents will come forth, and separate the bad from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
So it will be in the end of the age: the angels will go forth, and will separate the wicked from the midst of the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And He said to them, Therefore every scribe having been discipled into the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man who is a landlord, who bringeth out of his treasure things both new and old.

And having come into His own country He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence this wisdom and these miracles unto Him?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas?
Is not He the son of the carpenter? is not His mother called Mary? are not His brothers, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all near us? From where then are all these things in this man?
And are not His sisters all here with us? Whence then are these things to Him?
57 And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and in his house.
And they were offended in Him. And Jesus said to them; A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And He did not many mighty works there on account of their unbelief.
