Matthew 13
1 The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.
THEN the same day Jesus going out from the house, sat down near 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 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 forth to sow.
And he spake unto them many things 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 as he was sowing, some seeds fell indeed by the road-side; and the birds 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 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 And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
and when the sun arose, it was scorched up; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And others fell among 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 good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
but others fell on good ground, and produced fruit, some an hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And his disciples came 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 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.
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 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.
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 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: that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not hear nor 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 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 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.
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, 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.
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 Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.
Hear ye therefore 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.
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 And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.
But the sown on the rocky soil, is he who having heard the word, and instantly with joy receiving 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds 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 were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.
and while the men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed zizane among the wheat, and departed.
26 And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.
But when the blade was shot up, and produced fruit, then appeared also the zizane.
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?
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: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we 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 And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.
he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the zizane, we root up the wheat with them.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 in parables to the multitudes: and without parables 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 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.
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 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 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 Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth 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 are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked 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 that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the 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 Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world. (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 scandals, and them that work iniquity.
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 shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing 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 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 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.
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 heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman in search of 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.
who, having discovered one of vast price, went away and sold all that he possessed, 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 heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish 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 full, they drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets, but cast those of a bad kind 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)
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 weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
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.
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 passed from thence.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished there 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 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 carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:
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 therefore hath he all these things?
and his sisters, are they not all among us? whence then hath he all these things?
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 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 wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
And he did not there many miracles because of their unbelief.
