Matthew 13
1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
And that [same] day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
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.
3 And he spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
and as he sowed, some [grains] fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
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,
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having [any] root were dried up;
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
He that has ears, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speak you unto them in parables?
And the disciples came up and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
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;
12 For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that he has.
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.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
For this cause I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor understand;
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing all of you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing all of you shall see, and shall not perceive:
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;
15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
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.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear;
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which all of you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which all of you hear, and have not heard them.
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].
18 Hear all of you therefore the parable of the sower.
Ye, therefore, hear the parable of the sower.
19 When any one hears the word (logos) of the kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
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.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, (logos) and soon with joy receives it;
But he that is sown on the rocky places — this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 Yet has he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, (logos) by and by he is offended.
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.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; (logos) and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, (logos) and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
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)
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, (logos) and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
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.
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? from whence then has it tares?
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?
28 He said unto them, An enemy has done this. The servants said unto him, Will you then that we go and gather them up?
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]?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while all of you gather up the tares, all of you root up also the wheat with them.
But he said, No; lest [in] gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather all of you together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
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.
31 Another parable put he forth 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 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;
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
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.
33 Another parable spoke he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
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.
34 All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, 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; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
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.
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
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.
37 He answered and said unto them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;
But he answering said, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man,
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
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];
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
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)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
As then the darnel is gathered and is burned in the fire, thus it shall be in the completion of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man has found, he hides, and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.
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.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls;
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
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,
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
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.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, (aiōn g165)
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)
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus says unto them, Have all of you understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, [Lord].
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.
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.
53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew thence.
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
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?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, 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 with us? Whence then has this [man] all these things?
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto 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 honour, unless in his country and in his house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
