Matthew 13
1 The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the shore of the lake;
On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:
2 and great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
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 to 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 as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.
and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
5 And others fell upon rocky places, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had no depth 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 But 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 others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them.
And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
8 And others fell upon good ground; and yielded fruit, some a hundred fold, some Sixty, some thirty fold.
But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
He that hath ears, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came and said to him, Why dost thou speak to them in parables?
And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
11 He answered and said, Because to you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it hath not been 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 whoever hath, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
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 I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor 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 saith, “Ye will hear indeed, and not understand; and ye will see indeed, and 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 hath become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, 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 Truly do I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and did not see them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and did not hear 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 ye therefore the parable of the sower.
Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the Evil One cometh, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart; this man is what was sown by the wayside.
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 And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy,
And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
21 but, having no root within him, endureth only for a time; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth on account of the word, he immediately falleth away.
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 And what was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh 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 And what was sown on the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and yieldeth, one a hundred fold, another sixty, another thirty fold.
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 he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who 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 away.
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 grew up, and put 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 to him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? Whence then hath 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 to them, An enemy did this. The servants say to him, Dost thou wish 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 ye gather up the tares, ye root up 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 up 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 he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, 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 is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.
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 he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like 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 Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable he spoke nothing to 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 through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden 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 he sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to 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, He that soweth 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 is the sons of the kingdom; but the tares are the sons of the Evil 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 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 up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the 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 will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those who 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 will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will 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 will the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, 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 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy thereof he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth 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 a merchant seeking goodly pearls.
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, 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, 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 a net, cast into the sea, and bringing together fish 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 upon the beach, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw 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 will it be at the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (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 will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire: there, will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Did ye understand all these things? They say to him, Yea.
Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
52 And he said to them, Thus then every scribe, instructed for the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder, who bringeth out from his storehouse 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, when Jesus had ended these parables, that he departed thence.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
54 And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and the miracles?
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 brothers, James, and Joseph, 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 hath 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 took offence at him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except 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 work many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
