Matthew 13
1 And that [same] day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.
THEN the same day Jesus going out from the house, sat down near the sea.
2 And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.
And vast multitudes were gathered together unto him, insomuch that he entered into a vessel to be seated; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:
And he spake unto them many things in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow:
4 and as he sowed, some [grains] fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;
and as he was sowing, some seeds fell indeed by the road-side; and the birds came and ate them up:
5 and others fell upon the rocky places where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang up out of [the ground] because of not having [any] depth of earth,
and other seed fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having [any] root were dried up;
and when the sun arose, it was scorched up; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;
And other seeds fell among the thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them:
8 and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
but others fell on good ground, and produced fruit, some an hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He that has ears, let him hear.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came up and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
And when his disciples came, they said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 And he answering said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given;
And he answered and said unto them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 for whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall be caused to be in abundance; but he who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
For whosoever hath, more shall be given to him, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, even that he hath shall be taken from him.
13 For this cause I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor understand;
Therefore I speak to them in parables: that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not hear nor understand.
14 and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see;
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, With the hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and in no wise perceive:
15 for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with the eves, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear;
But blessed are your eyes; for ye see: and your ears; for ye hear.
17 for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see [them], and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear [them].
For verily I tell you, That many prophets and righteous men have greatly desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Ye, therefore, hear the parable of the sower.
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 From every one who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand [it], the wicked one comes and catches away what was sown in his heart: this is he that is sown by the wayside.
When any person heareth the word of the kingdom, and doth not understand it, the wicked one cometh, and snatcheth away what was sown on his heart: such is he who is the sown by the road-side.
20 But he that is sown on the rocky places — this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
But the sown on the rocky soil, is he who having heard the word, and instantly with joy receiving it,
21 but has no root in himself, but is for a time only; and when tribulation or persecution happens on account of the word, he is immediately offended.
hath not really root in himself, but is merely temporary: and when tribulation or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately he is stumbled.
22 And he that is sown among the thorns — this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
But the sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word, and the anxiety about this world and the deceitfulness of riches, choketh the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 But he that is sown upon the good ground — this is he who hears and understands the word, who bears fruit also, and produces, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
But the sown upon the good ground, is he who heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly beareth fruit, and produceth, one an hundred fold, and another sixty, and another thirty.
24 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
Another parable proposed he to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.
and while the men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed zizane among the wheat, and departed.
26 But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also.
But when the blade was shot up, and produced fruit, then appeared also the zizane.
27 And the bondmen of the householder came up and said to him, Sir, hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whence then has it darnel?
The servants of the proprietor came, and said to him, Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it the zizane?
28 And he said to them, A man [that is] an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it [up]?
He saith unto them, Some man, an enemy, hath done this. Then the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and weed them out?
29 But he said, No; lest [in] gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.
he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the zizane, we root up the wheat with them.
30 Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.
Let them both grow together till the harvest: and at the harvest-time I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the zizane, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and sowed in his field;
Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field:
32 which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches.
which indeed is among the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is among the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make their nests in the branches of it.
33 He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.
Another parable spake he to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and covered up in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened.
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,
All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spake not to them:
35 so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from [the] world's foundation.
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will bring forth things hid from the foundation of the world.
36 Then, having dismissed the crowds, he went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Expound to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the zizane of the field.
37 But he answering said, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man,
And he replying said to them, He that sowed 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 darnel are the sons of the evil [one];
the field is the world: and the good seed are those who are the children of the kingdom; but the zizane are the children of the wicked one;
39 and the enemy who has sowed it is the devil; and the harvest is [the] completion of [the] age, and the harvestmen are angels. (aiōn g165)
the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As then the darnel is gathered and is burned in the fire, thus it shall be in the completion of the age. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;
The Son of man shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity;
42 and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field: which when a man findeth, he hideth, and for joy thereof, goeth away and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls;
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman in search of beautiful pearls:
46 and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.
who, having discovered one of vast price, went away and sold all that he possessed, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind,
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish of every kind:
48 which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out.
which, when it was full, they drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets, but cast those of a bad kind away.
49 Thus shall it be in the completion of the age: the angels shall go forth and sever the wicked from the midst of the just, (aiōn g165)
Just so shall it be at the end of this world: the angels shall go forth, and shall separate the wicked from amidst the just, (aiōn g165)
50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, [Lord].
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
52 And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man [that is] a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.
They say unto him, Yes, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man, the master of a family, who bringeth out of his storehouse things new and old.
53 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew thence.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished there parables, he departed thence.
54 And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this [man] this wisdom and these works of power?
And coming into his own country, taught them in their synagogues, so that they were exceedingly struck, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these miracles?
55 Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this [man] all these things?
and his sisters, are they not all among us? whence then hath he all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house.
And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not disrespected, except in his own country, and in his own family.
58 And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
And he did not there many miracles because of their unbelief.
