Matthew 13
1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
Now on the same day, Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea-side:
2 Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
and many people were gathered together to bear Him, so that He went into a ship and sat down, and all the multitude stood upon the shore; and He spake to them many things in parables,
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
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 by the way-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.
some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and they soon sprung up indeed, because they had no depth of earth;
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
but when the sun rose, they were burnt up, and withered; because they had no root:
7 Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
and others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew 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 yielded fruit, some an hundred-fold, 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 the disciples came to Him and said, Why dost thou 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.
And He answered them, saying, Because it is granted unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not granted:
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 really hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundantly; but whosoever thus hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken away 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.
for this reason I speak to them in parables; because though they see, they will not see; and though they hear, they will 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, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is grown stupid,
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.’
and their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their 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 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 didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
for indeed I tell you, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the gospel-kingdom,
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.
and regardeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and snatcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he who received the seed as by the way-side.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
And he who received the seed as upon stony grounds, is one that heareth the word and immediately receiveth it with joy:
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.
yet hath he no root in himself, and therefore is but for a short season; and when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, he is as soon disgusted.
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)
And he that received the seed among the thorns, is one that likewise heareth the word; but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choketh the word, and so 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 he who received the seed into good ground, is one that heareth and understandeth the word, who indeed beareth fruit, and yieldeth, like fertile lands, some an hundred-fold, some sixty, 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,
Another parable propounded He unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man, who sowed good grain in his ground:
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
but while men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
Now when the blade shot forth, and produced the corn, then the tares also appeared.
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?’
So the servants came to their master, and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? whence then are the tares?
28 “He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
And he said unto them, Some enemy hath done this. The servants therefore said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
But he said, No: least in plucking up the tares ye root up the corn along 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 both grow together till harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather the weeds together, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but carry 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 delivered He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom 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.”
Which is indeed one of the lest of all seeds: but when it is grown, is the greatest among herbs, and even becometh a tree; so that the birds of the air come and lodge in it's 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.”
Another parable spake He unto them, saying, The gospel-kingdom is like leaven, which a woman took and put into a large quantity of dough, till 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 at this time He spake nothing to them without a parable:
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 publish things which have been concealed 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 leaving the multitude went into the house; and his disciples came to Him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field:
37 He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
and He answered them, and said, He that soweth 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; the good seed are the children of my kingdom; and the tares 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 that 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 tares are gathered together, and burnt in the fire; so shall it be in the end of the 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 will send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all that commit offences, and those who do iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and 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.
But the righteous shall then 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 treasure hid in a field, which a man having found conceals, and being rejoiced at it goes and sells all that he has, and purchases 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 merchant seeking precious pearls,
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
who, having found one of great value, went and sold all that he had, 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 a net, that was cast into the sea, and inclosed fishes of various sorts;
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 dragged to the shore, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, and threw out the bad.
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)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous; (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 the fiery furnace, and there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
Then saith Jesus unto them, Did ye understand all these? they say unto Him, Yes, Lord: and He said unto them,
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.”
Therefore every teacher, who has been thus instructed in the knowledge of the kingdom of heaven, is like a master of a family, who brings forth out of his store things new and old.
53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
And when Jesus had finished these 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 came into his own country, and taught them in their synagogues; so that they were amazed and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom and these powers?
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? and 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 here among us? from whence then hath this man 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.”
So they were prejudiced against Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is no where less honoured than 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 many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
