Matthew 13
1 Later that day Jesus left the house, and sat down to teach beside the lake.

2 So many people gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down there to teach, while all the crowds stood on the beach.

3 He explained many things to them, using stories as illustrations. “The sower went out to sow,” he began.

4 “As he was sowing, some of the seeds fell on the path. The birds came and ate them up.

5 Other seeds fell on stony ground where there wasn't much earth where they sprouted quickly.

10 The disciples came to Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use illustrations when you speak to the people?”

11 “You're privileged to have revealed to you the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but they're not given such insights,” Jesus replied.

12 “Those who already have will have more given to them, more than enough. But those who don't have, whatever they have will be taken away from them.

13 That's why I speak to them in illustrations. For even though they see, they do not see; and even though they hear, they do not hear; nor do they understand.

14 The prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled in them: ‘Even though you hear, you won't understand, and even though you see, you won't perceive.

15 They have a hard-hearted attitude, they don't want to listen, and they've closed their eyes. If they didn't they might be able to see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand in their minds. Then they could return to me and I would heal them.’

17 I'm telling you, many prophets and good people longed to see what you're seeing, but didn't see it. They longed to hear what you're hearing, but didn't hear it.

18 So listen to the story of the sower.

19 When people hear the message about the kingdom and don't understand it, the evil one comes along and rips out what was sown in them. This is what happens to the seeds sown on the path.

23 The seeds sown on good soil are people who hear the message, and understand it, and who produce a good harvest—some one hundred, some sixty, and some thirty times what was sown.”

24 Then he told them another illustrated story: “The kingdom of heaven is like a farmer who sowed good seeds in his field.

44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. A man found it, reburied it, and then full of joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

48 When it was full it was dragged ashore. The good fish were put into baskets while the bad ones were thrown away.

49 That's the way it will be when the end of the world comes. The angels will go out and separate the evil people from the good, (aiōn g165)

52 “Every religious teacher who's learned about the kingdom of heaven is like a house-owner who brings out from his storeroom both new and old treasures,” Jesus said.

53 After Jesus finished telling these stories, he left.

54 He went back to his home town and taught in the synagogue there. People were amazed, and asked, “Where does he get his wisdom and miracles from?

57 And so they refused to believe in him. “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his homeland and in his family,” Jesus told them.
