Matthew 13
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
And that [same] day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.
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 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 to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:
4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
and as he sowed, some [grains] fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;
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.
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 But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. 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 Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew 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.
and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
9 He who has ears, let him hear."
He that has ears, let him hear.
10 Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
And the disciples came up and said to him, Why speakest thou to 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.
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 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 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 I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, then, the parable of the farmer.
Ye, therefore, hear 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.
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 And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately 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 he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
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 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)
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 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 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 He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who 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 everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.
26 But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared 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 to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where did these tares come from?'
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 "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?'
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, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up 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 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."'"
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 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 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 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 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 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."
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 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to 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 through the prophet, saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning 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 crowds away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares in 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 And he answered them, "The one who 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 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,
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 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)
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 up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (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 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 his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the 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 the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, 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.
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 a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls;
46 and having found one pearl of great price, he 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 a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish 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 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 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 will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (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 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 the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
51 "Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, [Lord].
52 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."
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 happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew 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 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 brothers, James and Joseph 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 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 Jesus 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. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house.
58 And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.
