Matthew 13
1 On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:
And on that day, having departed from the house, Jesus was sitting beside the sea.
2 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.
And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore.
3 And he spake unto them many things, in parables, saying: Lo! the sower went forth to sow, —
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.
4 and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;
And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 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;
But others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much soil, and straightaway they sprang up because they had no depth of soil.
6 and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;
But when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.
7 And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;
And others fell in the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 But, some, fell upon the good ground, and did yield fruit, —this, indeed a hundred fold, and, that, sixty, and, the other, thirty.
But others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
9 He that hath ears, let him hear.
He who has ears, let him hear.
10 And the disciples, coming near, said to him, Wherefore, in parables, art thou speaking to them?
And the disciples having come, they said to him, Why do thou speak to them in parables?
11 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.
And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.
12 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?
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak, —because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not, —neither do they understand.
Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.
14 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;
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
15 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.
For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.
16 But happy are, your, eyes, that they see, and your ears, that they hear;
But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
17 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.
For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.
18 Hear, ye, then, the parable of him that sowed: —
Hear ye then the parable of the man who sows.
19 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.
Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.
20 And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;
And that which was sown upon the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and straightaway receiving it with joy,
21 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.
yet he has no root in himself, instead it is temporary. And when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway he is caused to stumble.
22 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)
And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 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.
But that which was sown upon the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and is productive, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man sowing good seed in his field.
25 and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, —and away he went.
But while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.
26 And, when the blade shot up, and brought forth, fruit, then, appeared, the darnel also.
And when the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
27 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?
But the bondmen of the house-ruler having come, they said to him, Sir, did thou not sow good seed in thy field? From where then does it have tares?
28 And he said unto them—An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him—Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?
And he said to them, A hostile man did this. And the bondmen said to him, Do thou desire therefore, after going, we would gather them up?
29 And, he, saith—Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:
But he said, No, lest while gathering up the tares, ye uproot the wheat together with them.
30 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.
Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles in order to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 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;
He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard plant, which having taken, a man sowed in his field.
32 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.
Which indeed is smaller than all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and lodge in the branches of it.
33 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.
He spoke another parable to them. The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which having taken, a woman hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened.
34 All these things, spake Jesus in parables, unto the multitudes, and, without a parable, was he speaking, nothing, unto them:
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes, and he did not speak to them independent of a parable,
35 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!
so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things concealed from the foundation of the world.
36 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.
Then having sent the multitudes away, Jesus came into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
37 And, he, answering, said—He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of Man;
And having answered, he said to them, He who sows 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 darnel seeds, are the sons of the evil one;
and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of evil.
39 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)
And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are agents. (aiōn g165)
40 Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the age: — (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned in fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 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,
The Son of man will send forth his agents, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing 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 the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Then, the righteous, will 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 who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 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.
Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man having found, he hid. And from the joy of it, he goes and sells all, as many things as he has, and buys that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls, —
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls.
46 and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever he had, and bought it.
Who, having found one very valuable pearl, after departing, sold all, as many things as he had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto, a large drag-net, cast into the sea and gathering of every kind, —
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered from every kind,
48 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.
which, when it was full, after dragging to the shore, having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, but they cast out the useless.
49 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)
So it will be at the end of the age. The agents will come forth, and separate the bad 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 the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
51 Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea!
Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
52 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.
And he said to them, Because of this every scholar who has been instructed in the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a house-ruler, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 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?
And having come into his fatherland he taught them in their synagogue, so as for them to be astonished, and say, From where is this wisdom and powers in this man?
55 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?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas?
56 and, his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence, then hath, this one, all these things?
And his sisters, are they not all near us? From where then are all these things in this man?
57 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.
And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and in his house.
58 And he did not, there, many mighty works, because of their unbelief.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
