Matthew 13
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
THEN the same day Jesus going out from the house, sat down near the sea.
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
And vast multitudes were gathered together unto him, insomuch that he entered into a vessel to be seated; 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.
And he spake unto them many things in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow:
4 As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
and as he was sowing, some seeds fell indeed by the road-side; and the birds came and ate them up:
5 Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
and other seed fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
and when the sun arose, it was scorched up; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
And other seeds fell among the thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them:
8 Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
but others fell on good ground, and produced fruit, some an hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
And when his disciples came, they said to him, Why speakest thou 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.
And he answered and said unto them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
For whosoever hath, more shall be given to him, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, even that he hath shall be taken from him.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
Therefore I speak to them in parables: that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not hear nor 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;
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, With the hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and in no wise 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.’
for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with the eves, and hear with the ears, and understand with the 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 ye see: and your ears; for ye hear.
17 For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous 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.
For verily I tell you, That many prophets and righteous men have greatly 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.
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t 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.
When any person heareth the word of the kingdom, and doth not understand it, the wicked one cometh, and snatcheth away what was sown on his heart: such is he who is the sown by the road-side.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
But the sown on the rocky soil, is he who having heard the word, and instantly with joy receiving 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.
hath not really root in himself, but is merely temporary: and when tribulation or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately he is stumbled.
22 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)
But the sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word, and the anxiety about this world and the deceitfulness of riches, choketh the word, and it becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
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.”
But the sown upon the good ground, is he who heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly beareth fruit, and produceth, one an hundred fold, and another sixty, and another thirty.
24 He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
Another parable proposed he to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
and while the men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed zizane among the wheat, and departed.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
But when the blade was shot up, and produced fruit, then appeared also the zizane.
27 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?’
The servants of the proprietor came, and said to him, Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it the zizane?
28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
He saith unto them, Some man, an enemy, hath done this. Then the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and weed them out?
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the zizane, we root up the wheat with them.
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.”’”
Let them both grow together till the harvest: and at the harvest-time I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the zizane, 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,
Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, 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.”
which indeed is among the smallest of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is among the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make their nests in the branches of it.
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.”
Another parable spake he to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and covered up in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened.
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spake not to them:
35 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.”
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I will bring forth things hid from the foundation of the world.
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.”
Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the zizane of the field.
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
And he replying said to them, He that sowed the good seed, is the Son of man;
38 the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
the field is the world: and the good seed are those who are the children of the kingdom; but the zizane are the children of the wicked one;
39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
the enemy who 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 darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the zizane are gathered, and burned in the fire; just so shall it be at the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 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,
The Son of man shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity;
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like 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.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hid in a field: which when a man findeth, he hideth, and for joy thereof, goeth away and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman in search of beautiful pearls:
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
who, having discovered one of vast price, went away and sold all that he possessed, and bought it.
47 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish of every kind:
48 which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
which, when it was full, they drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets, but cast those of a bad kind away.
49 So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
Just so shall it be at the end of this world: the angels shall go forth, and shall separate the wicked from amidst the just, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
52 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.”
They say unto him, Yes, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man, the master of a family, who bringeth out of his storehouse things new and old.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished there parables, he departed thence.
54 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?
And coming into his own country, taught them in their synagogues, so that they were exceedingly struck, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these miracles?
55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
and his sisters, are they not all among us? whence then hath he all these things?
57 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.”
And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not disrespected, except in his own country, and in his own family.
58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And he did not there many miracles because of their unbelief.
