< Matthew 13 >
1 In (now *k*) the day that having gone forth Jesus (from *k*) [from] the house was sitting by the sea.
On that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2 And were gathered together to Him crowds great so that He into (*k*) a boat having climbed into to sit down, and all the crowd on the shore had stood.
And large crowds gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the crowd stood on the beach.
3 And He spoke to them many things in parables saying; Behold went out the [one] sowing to sow.
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Look, a farmer went out to sow.
4 And in the sowing of him some indeed fell along the road, and (having come *N(k)(o)*) the birds (and *ko*) devoured them.
And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Other now fell upon the rocky places where not it was having soil much, and immediately it sprang up through not having depth of soil.
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.
6 when [the] sun now having risen they were scorched, and through the not having root were dried up.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Other now fell upon the thorns, and grew up the thorns and (choked *N(k)O*) them.
Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Other now fell upon the soil good and were yielding fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 The [one] having ears (to hear *ko*) he should hear.
He who has ears, let him hear."
10 And having come the disciples said to Him; Because of why in parables speak You to them?
Then the disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 And answering He said to them; Because to you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, to them however not it has been granted.
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.
12 Whoever for has, will be given to him and will be abundant [to him] whoever now not has, even what he has will be taken away from him.
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.
13 Because of this in parables to them I speak Because seeing not do they see and hearing not do they hear nor do they understand.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.
14 And is fulfilled (concerning *k*) them the prophecy of Isaiah who is saying: In hearing you will hear and certainly not may understand, and looking you will look and certainly not may perceive.
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.
15 Has grown dull for the heart of the people this, and with the ears barely they have heard, and the eyes of them they have closed; otherwise otherwise they may see with the eyes and with the ears they may hear and with the heart they may understand and may return and (I will heal *N(k)O*) them.’
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.'
16 Of you however blessed [are] the eyes because they see and the ears of you because (they hear. *N(k)O*)
"But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Amen for I say to you that many prophets and righteous [men] longed to see what you see, and not saw, and to hear what you hear, and not heard.
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.
18 You yourselves therefore do hear the parable of the [one] (having sown: *N(k)O*)
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding comes the evil one and snatches away that having been sown in the heart of him; This is the [one] on the path having been sown.
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.
20 That which now upon the rocky places having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it.
And what was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 no he has now root in himself but temporary is. when is coming however tribulation or persecution on account of the word immediately he falls away.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 That which now among the thorns having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing, and the care of the age (this *ko*) and the deceit of riches choke the word, and unfruitful it becomes. (aiōn )
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 )
23 That however on the good (*k*) soil having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and understanding, who indeed brings forth fruit and produces — some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
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."
24 Another parable put He before them saying; Has become like the kingdom of the heavens a man (having sown *N(k)O*) good seed in the field of him.
He set another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field,
25 In now the [time] to sleep the men came his enemy and (over-sowed *N(k)O*) weeds in [the] midst of the wheat and went away.
but while everyone slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
26 When now sprouted the plants and fruit produced, then appeared also the weeds.
But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.
27 Having come to [him] now the servants of the master of the house said to him; Sir, surely good seed did you sow in your field? How then has it (the *k*) weeds?
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?'
28 He then was saying to them; An enemy a man this did. And the servants (they say *N(k)O*) to him: Do you desire then [that] having gone forth (we shall gather *NK(o)*) them?
"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?'
29 And (he says; *N(k)O*) No, lest when lest when gathering the weeds you may uproot together [with] them the wheat.
"But he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the tares, you root up the wheat with them.
30 do allow to grow together both (until *N(k)O*) the harvest; and in (the *k*) time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters; do gather first the weeds and do bind them into bundles in order to burn them; and the wheat (do gather together *NK(o)*) into the barn of mine.’
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."'"
31 Another parable put He before them saying; Like is the kingdom of the heavens to a grain of mustard, which having taken a man sowed in the field of him;
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;
32 which smallest indeed is of all the seeds, when however it may be grown, greater than the garden plants it is and becomes a tree so that to come the birds of the air and perching in the branches of it.
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."
33 Another parable spoke He to them: Like is the kingdom of the heavens to leaven, which having taken a woman (hid *NK(o)*) in of flour measures three until of it was leavened all.
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."
34 These things all spoke Jesus in parables to the crowds and without a parable (no [thing] *N(k)O*) He was speaking to them,
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,
35 so that may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet saying; I will open in parables the mouth of Mine, 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 my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the beginning of the world."
36 Then having dismissed the crowds He went into the house (Jesus. *k*) And came to Him the disciples of Him saying; (do explain *N(k)O*) to us the parable of the weeds of the field.
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."
37 And answering He said (to them: *k*) The [One] sowing the good seed is the Son of Man;
And he answered them, "The one 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 weeds are the sons of the evil [one];
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,
39 and the enemy which having sown them is the devil; and the harvest [the] consummation (of the *k*) age is; and the harvesters angels are. (aiōn )
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn )
40 As therefore is gathered the weeds and in fire (is burned up, *NK(o)*) thus it will be in the consummation of the age (this. *k*) (aiōn )
As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn )
41 Will send forth the Son of Man the angels of Him, and they will gather out of the kingdom of Him all the causes of sin and those practicing lawlessness
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,
42 and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the grinding of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father of them. The [one] having ears (to hear *ko*) he should hear.
Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 (again *k*) Like is the kingdom of the heavens to treasure hidden in the field, which having found a man hid. and for the joy of it goes and he sells all as much as he has and buys the field that.
"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.
45 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a merchant seeking fine pearls.
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 (who *k*) having found (now *no*) one very precious pearl, having gone away he has sold all things as much as he was having and he bought it.
and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a dragnet having been cast into the sea and of every kind having gathered together,
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 which when it was filled having drawn up on the shore and having sat down they collected the good into (vessels, *N(k)O*) the and bad out they cast.
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.
49 Thus will it be in the consummation of the age; will go out the angels and will separate the evil from [the] midst of the righteous (aiōn )
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn )
50 and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; There will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the grinding of teeth."
51 (says to them Jesus *k*) Did you understand these things all? They say to Him; Yes (Lord. *k*)
"Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes."
52 He then said to them; Because of this every scribe having been discipled (into *k*) ([in] the kingdom *N(k)O*) of the heavens like is to a man a master of a house who puts forth out of the treasure of him [things] new and old.
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."
53 And it came to pass when finished Jesus parables these, He withdrew from there;
And it happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 And having come into the region of Him He was teaching them in the synagogue of them so that to be astonished they and to say: From where [came] to this [man] wisdom this and the miraculous powers?
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?
55 Surely this is the of the carpenter Son? (Surely *N(k)O*) the mother of Him is named Mary? And the brothers of Him James and (Joseph *N(k)O*) and Simon and Judas?
Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
56 And the sisters of Him surely all with us are? From where then to this [man] these things all?
And are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
57 And they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them; Not is a prophet without Honor only except in the hometown (of him *k*) and in the household of him.
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."
58 And not He did there miracles many because of the unbelief of them.
And he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
