Matthew 13
1 The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
On that day Yeshua [Salvation] went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
2 And great multitudes were gathered to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had not root, they withered.
When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
8 But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold.
Others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
He who has ears to hear, let him sh'ma ·hear obey·.”
10 And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven (God), but it is not given to them.
12 For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
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 Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
In them the prophecy of Isaiah [Salvation of Yah] is fulfilled, which says, ‘You will keep on hearing, but will in no way understand; and keep on seeing, but will in no way perceive,
15 For this people's heart is become gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
for the heart of this people has grown callous, their ears barely hear, they have closed their eyes; so as to not see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would make teshuvah ·complete return in repentance· again; so that I could 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 to you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [the things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [the things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and upright men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
“Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.
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 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21 Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, forthwith he is offended.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he is scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant·.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 But he that receiveth seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.
What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and departed.
but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
26 But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
But when the blade sprang up and produced fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
28 He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them?
“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
29 But he said, No; lest while ye gather the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
“But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31 Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field;
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.
which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in 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.
He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
34 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
Yeshua [Salvation] spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret 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 from the foundation of the world.”
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Declare to us the parable of the tares of the field.
Then Yeshua [Salvation] sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
37 He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children 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 the angels. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed them is the devil [Accuser]. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause people to sin ·scandal, trap snare, entrapment· and all the people who are far from Torah ·Teaching·, and those who do illegally ·to be without Torah (ignorant or intentional violation of law)·,
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Then the upright will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·. He who has ears to hear, let him sh'ma ·hear obey·.
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which, when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven (God) 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, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
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 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, (aiōn g165)
So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the upright, (aiōn g165)
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall 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 Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe [who is] instructed to the kingdom of heaven, is like a man [that is] a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven (God) is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
53 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
When Yeshua [Salvation] had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 And when he had 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 [these] mighty works?
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 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary [Rebellion], and his brothers, James [Surplanter], Joses, Simeon [Hearing], and Judas [Praised]?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
Are not all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.
They were scandalized ·to entrap, to cause weak knees that waiver, stumbling block that causes falling, distrusting one that should be trusted and obeyed, disapproving of authority, to judge unfavorably causing displeasure, indignant· by him. But Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.”
58 And he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
