Matthew 13
1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near 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 there were gathered unto him, large multitudes, so that, he, into a boat, entered, and was sitting, and, all the multitude, on the beach was standing.
3 And he spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth 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, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
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, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, —and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
9 Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speak you unto them in parables?
And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
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, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, —whereas, unto them, hath it not been 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, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound, —but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken 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 reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak, —because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not, —neither do they 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, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, —They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive;
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 hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that 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—Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.
18 Hear all of you therefore the parable of the sower.
Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
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.
When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart, —this, is he, by the pathway, sown.
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;
And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
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.
yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, —and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.
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 among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, —and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh. (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 on the good ground sown, the same, is he who doth hear and understand the word, who, indeed, beareth fruit and produceth, —this, a hundred, and, that, sixty, and, the other, 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, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath 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.
and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, —and away he went.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, 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 servants of the householder, coming near, said to him, —Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath 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 unto them—An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him—Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
29 But he said, Nay; lest while all of you gather up the tares, all of you root up also the wheat with them.
And, he, saith—Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:
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 until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, —Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.
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, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens is like unto, 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, indeed, is, less, than all seeds, but, when grown, is greater than garden-plants, and becometh a tree, —so that the birds of heaven come, and lodge among 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.
Another parable, [spake he unto them]: —The kingdom of the heavens is like, unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour until, the whole, was leavened.
34 All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:
All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto 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.
that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying—I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the 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, dismissing the multitudes, he went into the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying—Make quite plain 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;
And, he, answering, said—He that soweth 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, —and, the darnel seeds, 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 that sowed them, is the adversary, and, the harvest, is, the conclusion of an age, and, the reapers, are, messengers. (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)
Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion 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 will send forth his messengers, and they will collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and 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, will shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath 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 unto, a treasure hid in the field, which a man, finding, hid, —and, by reason of his joy, withdraweth and selleth whatsoever he hath, and buyeth 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, unto, 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, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever 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 unto, a large drag-net, cast into the sea and gathering 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 was filled, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.
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)
So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous; (aiōn g165)
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus says unto them, Have all of you understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
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 unto them—Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth 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 removed from 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, coming into his own city, began teaching them in their synagogue, so that with astonishment were they being struck, and were saying—Whence, hath, this one, this wisdom, and the mighty works?
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 one, the carpenter’s, son? Is not, his mother, called Mary, and are not 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 hath, this one, 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 began to find cause of stumbling in him. But, Jesus, said unto them—A prophet is not without honour, save in his city, and in his house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
