On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.

A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
3 ⲅ̅ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲏⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲉϫⲟ
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲟ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲁⲗⲁⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 ⲉ̅ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϯ ⲟⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ϩⲁϩ ⲛⲕⲁϩ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲡⲣⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϣⲁ ⲁⲩⲣⲕⲁⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲟⲩⲉ
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 ⲍ̅ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟϭⲧⲟⲩ
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 ⲏ̅ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲩϯ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥϯϣⲉ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϯⲥⲉ ⲕⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϯⲙⲁⲁⲃ
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛⲧϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲕϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ⲉⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲙⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲛⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲧⲁⲁⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϥⲣϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲡⲕⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϥⲓⲧϥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
14 ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ ⲥⲛⲁϫⲱⲕ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲓⲁ ⲛⲏⲥⲁⲓⲁⲥ ⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙⲛⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙⲉⲓⲱⲣϩ
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ ⲁϥⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲣⲟϣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϣⲧⲁⲙ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲃⲁⲗ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϩⲙ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲟⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲁⲧⲁⲗϭⲟⲟⲩ
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛⲃⲁⲗ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲙⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲑⲩⲙⲉⲓ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
18 ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲉⲛϥⲛⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ϣⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲛϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ϩⲁⲧⲛⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
20 ⲕ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲙⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲣⲁ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲟⲩⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲟⲩⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲏ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲱⲅⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϣⲁϥⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲓⲍⲉ
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲁⲡⲁⲧⲏ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲙⲙⲁⲟ ⲱϭⲧ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϫⲛⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥϯ ⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϣⲉ ⲕⲉⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲥⲉ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲁⲃ
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
24 ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲕⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲟ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲣⲟϭ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲱϣⲉ
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ϩⲙ ⲡⲧⲣⲉⲩⲛⲕⲟⲧⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉϥϫⲁϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲉⲛⲧⲏϭ ⲛⲧⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲥⲟⲩⲟ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϯⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲭⲟⲣⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲏϭ
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲉⲡⲉⲩϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲣⲟϭ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲕϫⲟϥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲕⲥⲱϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϩⲉ ϭⲉ ⲉⲉⲛⲧⲏϭ ⲧⲱⲛ
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
28 ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲟⲩⲱϣ ϭⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⲛⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲙⲏⲡⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲧⲏϭ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲱⲣⲕ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲕⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟ
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 ⲗ̅ ⲁⲗⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲥⲉⲁⲓⲁⲓ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ϣⲁⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲱϩⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡⲱϩⲥ ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲛⲁϫⲁⲓⲟϩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲏϭ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲣⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲛϣⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲣⲟⲕϩⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩϩϥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲁⲡⲟⲑⲏⲕⲏ
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
31 ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲕⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲃⲗⲃⲓⲗⲉ ⲛϣⲗⲧⲏⲙ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϫⲓⲧⲥ ⲁϥϫⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲥⲱϣⲉ
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϭⲣⲟⲟϭ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲥϣⲁⲛⲁⲩⲝⲁⲛⲉ ϣⲁⲥⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲟⲧⲉ ⲛⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛϣⲏⲛ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛϩⲁⲗⲁⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ ⲛⲥⲉⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲥⲕⲗⲁⲇⲟⲥ
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲕⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲑⲁⲃ ⲉⲁⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲓⲧϥ ⲁⲥϩⲟⲡϥ ϩⲛ ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛϣⲓ ⲛⲛⲟⲉⲓⲧ ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉϥϫⲓⲑⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣϥ
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
34 ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϫⲙⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲙⲡⲉϥϫⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲩ
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϫⲟⲟϥ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲓ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲧⲁϫⲱ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϩⲏⲡ ϫⲓⲛⲉⲡϣⲁⲥⲱⲛⲧ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲏⲓ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲏϭ ⲛⲧⲥⲱϣⲉ
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
37 ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲟ ⲙⲡⲉϭⲣⲟϭ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ ⲧⲥⲱϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϭⲣⲟϭ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲉ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲏϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲥ
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ ⲡϫⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲇⲓⲁⲃⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲱϩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲛϫⲁⲓⲟϩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 ⲙ̅ ⲛⲑⲉ ϭⲉ ⲛϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲧⲏϭ ⲛⲥⲉⲣⲟⲕϩⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲩⲛⲧⲉⲗⲉⲓⲁ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲛ (aiōn g165)
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲥⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩϩ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲛⲉⲥⲕⲁⲛⲇⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.

They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.

The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
45 ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲥⲧⲛⲧⲱⲛ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ ⲛⲙⲡⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉϣⲱⲧ ⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁϩⲉⲛⲱⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.

When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.

When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.

Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
