Matthew 13
1 On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Now on the same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea-side:
2 And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
and many people were gathered together to bear Him, so that He went into a ship and sat down, and all the multitude stood upon the shore; and He spake to them many things in parables,
3 And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
saying, "Behold a sower went out to sow;
4 and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:
and as he was sowing, some seeds fell by the way-side, and the birds came and ate them up:
5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:
some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and they soon sprung up indeed, because they had no depth of earth;
6 and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
but when the sun rose, they were burnt up, and withered; because they had no root:
7 And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them:
and others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:
8 and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
but others fell on good ground, and yielded fruit, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
And the disciples came to Him and said, Why dost thou speak to them in parables?
11 And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
And He answered them, saying, Because it is granted unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not granted:
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
for whosoever really hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundantly; but whosoever thus hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken away from him:
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
for this reason I speak to them in parables; because though they see, they will not see; and though they hear, they will not hear, nor understand.
14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is grown stupid,
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and 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 verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
for indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 Hear then ye the parable of the sower.
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the gospel-kingdom,
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, [then] cometh the evil [one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.
and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.
20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;
And he who received the seed as upon stony grounds, is one that heareth the word and immediately receiveth it with joy:
21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.
yet hath he no root in himself, and therefore is but for a short season; and when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, he is as soon disgusted.
22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
And he that received the seed among the thorns, is one that likewise heareth the word; but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choketh the word, and so it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
But he who received the seed into good ground, is one that heareth and understandeth the word, who indeed beareth fruit, and yieldeth, like fertile lands, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:
Another parable propounded He unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man, who sowed good grain in his ground:
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
but while men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.
26 But when the blade sprang up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Now when the blade shot forth, and produced the corn, then the tares also appeared.
27 And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?
So the servants came to their master, and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? whence then are the tares?
28 And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
And he said unto them, Some enemy hath done this. The servants therefore said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.
But he said, No: least in plucking up the tares ye root up the corn along with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the 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.
Let both grow together till harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather the weeds together, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but carry the wheat into my barn.
31 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Another parable delivered He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Which is indeed one of the lest of all seeds: but when it is grown, is the greatest among herbs, and even becometh a tree; so that the birds of the air come and lodge in it's branches.
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
Another parable spake He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom is like leaven, which a woman took and put into a large quantity of dough, till the whole was leavened.
34 All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:
All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and at this time He spake nothing to them without a parable:
35 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, 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 by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will publish things which have been concealed from the foundation of the world.
36 Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Then Jesus leaving the multitude went into the house; and his disciples came to Him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field:
37 And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
and He answered them, and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil [one];
the field is the world; the good seed are the children of my kingdom; and the tares are the children of the wicked one.
39 and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; 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 shall it be in the end of the world. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered together, and burnt in the fire; so shall it be in the end of the world: (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,
the Son of man will send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all that commit offences, and those who do iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire,
42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
But the righteous shall then shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field, which a man having found conceals, and being rejoiced at it goes and sells all that he has, and purchases that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking precious pearls,
46 and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
who, having found one of great value, went and sold all that 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 heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and inclosed fishes of various sorts;
48 which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.
which, when it was full, they dragged to the shore, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, and threw out the bad.
49 So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall 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 the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and shall cast them into the fiery furnace, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.
Then saith Jesus unto them, Did ye understand all these? they say unto Him, Yes, Lord: and He said unto them,
52 And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Therefore every teacher, who has been thus instructed in the knowledge of the kingdom of heaven, is like a master of a family, who brings forth out of his store things new and old.
53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
And when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence:
54 And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
and came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogues; so that they were amazed and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom and these powers?
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
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 his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
and his sisters, are they not all here among us? from whence then hath 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.
So they were prejudiced against Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is no where less honoured than in his own country, and in his own family.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And he did not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
