Matthew 13
1 The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.
On that day Jesus having come out from the house, was sitting by the sea:
2 And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude 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 to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.
And He spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold a sower went out to sow.
4 And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.
And while he was sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and ate them up.
5 And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.
And others fell among stones, where they had not much earth: and sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of earth:
6 And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
and the sun having risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.
But others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them.
8 And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
But others fell in good ground, and gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Let him that hath ears to hear, hear.
10 And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?
And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables?
11 Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not 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 he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.
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 Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither 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 the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall 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 the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should 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, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard 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 you therefore the parable of the sower.
Therefore hear ye the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.
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 he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.
But the one sown upon the rocks, is he who heareth the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.
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 he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. (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 he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another 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 Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds 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 men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.
And while the men slept, an enemy came, and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and departed.
26 And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.
And when the blades sprang up, and produced fruit, then the tares were also made manifest.
27 And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?
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: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it 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 And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.
And he says, No; lest gathering the tares together you may at the same time along with them root up the wheat.
30 Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye 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 Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and 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 is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.
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 Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was 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 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.
Jesus spoke all of these things to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He was not speaking to them:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden 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 away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle 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 Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth 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 are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.
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 that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels. (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 Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. (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 shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
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 shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath 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 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.
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 heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man seeking beautiful pearls:
46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that 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 heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.
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 filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
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 shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just. (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 shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
Do you understand all these things? They say to Him, Yea.
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.
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.
53 And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, He departed thence.
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?
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 brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:
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 with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things?
And are not His sisters all here with us? Whence then are these things to Him?
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.
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 wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
And He did not many mighty works there on account of their unbelief.
