Matthew 13
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
ⲁ̅ϩⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϩⲙⲡⲏⲓ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.

3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.

4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.

5 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 had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.

10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

12 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 seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, neither do they understand.

14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;

15 for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϭⲓⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛⲟⲩϩⲣⲟϣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϣⲧⲁⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϩⲙⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ. ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲟⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲁⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲟⲩ.
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men 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 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ.
19 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.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲉⲛϥⲛⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϣⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲛϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ. ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;

21 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 What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age (aiōn g165) and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

23 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 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲕⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲟ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲣⲟϭ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛⲧⲉϥⲥⲱϣⲉ.
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.

26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.

27 The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, did not you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’

28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’

30 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 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,

32 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 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 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he did not speak to them,

36 Then Jesus 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.”
