Matthew 13
1 On that day Yeshua went out of the house, and sat by the lake.
The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
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.
3 And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
And he spoke many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5 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.
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 He who has ears, let him hear."
Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Then the talmidim came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speak you unto them in parables?
11 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.
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.
12 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.
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.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 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.
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:
15 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.'
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.
16 "But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 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.
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.
18 "Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
Hear all of you therefore the parable of the sower.
19 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.
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.
20 And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, (logos) and soon with joy receives it;
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
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.
22 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)
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)
23 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."
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.
24 He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 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?'
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?
28 "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?'
He said unto them, An enemy has done this. The servants said unto him, Will you then that we go and gather them up?
29 "But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
But he said, Nay; lest while all of you gather up the tares, all of you root up also the wheat with them.
30 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."'"
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.
31 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;
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:
32 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."
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.
33 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."
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.
34 Yeshua spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
All these things spoke Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spoke he not unto them:
35 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."
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.
36 Then Yeshua sent the crowds away, and went into the house. His talmidim came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in the field."
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.
37 And he answered them, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
He answered and said unto them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man;
38 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,
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 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)
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 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,
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;
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 "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.
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.
45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the lake, and gathered some fish of every kind,
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 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.
Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49 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)
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)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 "Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
Jesus says unto them, Have all of you understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
52 And he said to them, "Therefore, every scribe who has been made a talmid in the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things."
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.
53 And it happened that when Yeshua had finished these parables, he departed from there.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
54 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?
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?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Miriam, and his brothers, Jacob and Joseph and Shim'on and Judah?
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this man all these things?
57 And they were offended by him. But Yeshua said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
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.
58 And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
