Matthew 13
1 The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2 And great multitudes resorted vnto him, so that he went into a ship, and sate downe: and the whole multitude stoode on the shore.
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 Then he spake many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sowe.
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
4 And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the foules came and deuoured them vp.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 And some fell vpon stony grounde, where they had not much earth, and anon they sprong vp, because they had no depth of earth.
And others fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 And when the sunne was vp, they were parched, and for lacke of rooting, withered away.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprong vp, and choked them.
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Some againe fel in good ground, and brought forth fruite, one corne an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and another thirtie folde.
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
He who has ears, let him hear."
10 Then the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 And he answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you, to know the secretes of the kingdome of heauen, but to the it is not giue.
And answering, he said to them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but it is not given to them.
12 For whosoeuer hath, to him shalbe giuen, and he shall haue abundance: but whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken away, euen that he hath.
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 Therefore speake I to them in parables, because they seeing, doe not see: and hearing, they heare not, neither vnderstand.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 So in them is fulfilled the prophecie of Esaias, which prophecie saieth, By hearing, ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing, ye shall see, and shall not perceiue.
And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'In hearing you will hear, but will not understand, and seeing you will see, but not perceive.
15 For this peoples heart is waxed fat, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes they haue winked, lest they should see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and should vnderstand with their hearts, and should returne, that I might heale them.
For the heart of this people has grown dull, and their ears are sluggish in hearing, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them.'
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your eares, for they heare.
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which ye see, and haue not seene them, and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.
For truly I tell you that many prophets and righteous people desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
18 Heare ye therefore ye parable of ye sower.
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 Whensoeuer any man heareth the woorde of that kingdome, and vnderstandeth it not, that euil one commeth, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: and this is he which hath receiued the seede by the way side.
When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20 And hee that receiued seede in the stonie grounde, is he which heareth the woorde, and incontinently with ioy receiueth it,
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 Yet hath he no roote in himselfe, and dureth but a season: for assoone as tribulation or persecution commeth because of the woorde, by and by he is offended.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 And hee that receiued the seede among thornes, is hee that heareth the woorde: but the care of this worlde, and the deceitfulnesse of riches choke the word, and he is made vnfruitfull. (aiōn g165)
And what was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 But he that receiued the seede in the good ground, is he that heareth the worde, and vnderstandeth it, which also beareth fruite, and bringeth foorth, some an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and some thirtie folde.
And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
24 Another parable put hee foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a man which sowed good seede in his fielde.
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 But while men slept, there came his enemie, and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his waie.
but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 And when the blade was sprong vp, and brought forth fruite, then appeared the tares also.
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
27 Then came the seruaunts of the housholder, and sayd vnto him, Master, sowedst not thou good seede in thy fielde? from whence then hath it tares?
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
28 And hee said to them, Some enuious man hath done this. Then the seruants saide vnto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them vp?
"And he said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "And the servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them up?'
29 But he saide, Nay, lest while yee goe about to gather the tares, yee plucke vp also with them the wheat.
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
30 Let both growe together vntill the haruest, and in time of haruest I will say to the reapers, Gather yee first the tares, and binde them in sheaues to burne them: but gather the wheate into my barne.
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
31 Another parable he put foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a graine of mustard seede, which a man taketh and soweth in his fielde:
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field;
32 Which in deede is the least of all seedes: but when it is growen, it is the greatest among herbes, and it is a tree, so that the birdes of heauen come and builde in the branches thereof.
which indeed is least of all the seeds. But when it has grown it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."
33 Another parable spake hee to them, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto leauen, which a woman taketh and hideth in three pecks of meale, till all be leauened.
He spoke another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened."
34 All these thinges spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without parables spake he not to them,
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
35 That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, and will vtter the thinges which haue beene kept secrete from the foundation of the worlde.
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
36 Then sent Iesus the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came vnto him, saying, Declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of that fielde.
Then Jesus sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
37 Then answered he, and saide to them, He that soweth the good seede, is the Sonne of man.
And he answered them, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 And the field is the worlde, and the good seede are the children of the kingdome, and the tares are the children of that wicked one.
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the tares are the children of the evil one,
39 And the enemie that soweth them, is the deuill, and the haruest is the end of the worlde, and the reapers be the Angels. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As then the tares are gathered and burned in ye fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie,
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and those who do iniquity,
42 And shall cast them into a fornace of fire. There shalbe wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 Then shall the iust men shine as ye sunne in the kingdome of their Father. Hee that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a treasure hid in ye field, which when a man hath found, he hideth it, and for ioy thereof departeth and selleth all that he hath, and buieth that field.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
45 Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like to a marchant man, that seeketh good pearles,
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 Who hauing found a pearle of great price, went and solde all that he had, and bought it.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a drawe net cast into the sea, that gathereth of all kindes of things.
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 Which, when it is full, men draw to lande, and sit and gather the good into vessels, and cast the bad away.
which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The Angels shall goe foorth, and seuer the bad from among the iust, (aiōn g165)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 And shall cast them into a fornace of fire: there shalbe wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
51 Iesus saide vnto them, Vnderstand yee all these things? They saide vnto him, Yea, Lord.
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
52 Then sayd hee vnto them, Therefore euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kingdome of heauen, is like vnto an householder, which bringeth foorth out of his treasure things both newe and olde.
And he said to them, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
53 And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence,
And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 And came into his owne countrey, and taught them in their Synagogue, so that they were astonied, and saide, Whence commeth this wisdome and great woorkes vnto this man?
And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie, and his brethren Iames and Ioses, and Simon and Iudas?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 And are not his sisters all with vs? Whence then hath he all these things?
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
57 And they were offended with him. Then Iesus said to them, A Prophet is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house.
And they were offended by him. But 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 great woorkes there, for their vnbeliefes sake.
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
