< Matthew 13 >

1 And on that day, having departed from the house, Jesus was sitting beside the sea.
The same daye wet Iesus out of ye house and sat by the seesyde
2 And many multitudes were gathered to him, so as for him (having entered in) to sit in the boat, and all the multitude had stood on the shore.
and moch people resorted vnto him so gretly yt he wet and sat in a shippe and all the people stode on ye shoore.
3 And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.
And he spake many thynges to the in similitudes sayinge: Beholde ye sower wet forth to sowe.
4 And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them.
And as he sowed some fell by ye wayessyde and the fowlles came and devoured it vp.
5 But others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much soil, and straightaway they sprang up because they had no depth of soil.
Some fell apo stony groude where it had not moche erth and a none it sproge vp because it had no depth of erth:
6 But when the sun was risen, they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered.
and when ye sunne was vp it cauht heet and for lake of rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 And others fell in the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.
Some fell amoge thornes and the thornes sproge vp and chooked it.
8 But others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Parte fell in good groud and brought forth good frute: some an hudred fold some sixtie fold some thyrty folde.
9 He who has ears, let him hear.
Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
10 And the disciples having come, they said to him, Why do thou speak to them in parables?
And the disciples came and sayde to him: Why speakest thou to the in parables?
11 And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.
He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geve vnto you to knowe ye secretes of the kyngdome of heve but to the it is not geve.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
For whosoever hath to him shall be geven: and he shall have aboundance. But whosoever hath not: fro hym shalbe takyn awaye even that he hath.
13 Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.
Therfore speake I to them in similitudes: for though they se they se not: and hearinge they heare not: nether vnderstonde.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
And in the is fulfilled ye Prophesie of Esayas which prophesie sayth: with the eares ye shall heare and shall not vnderstonde and with the eyes ye shall se and shall not perceave.
15 For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.
For this peoples hertes are wexed grosse and their eares were dull of herynge and their eyes have they closed lest they shulde se with their eyes and heare with their eares and shuld vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld tourne that I myght heale them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
But blessed are youre eyes for they se: and youre eares for they heare.
17 For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.
Verely I say vnto you that many Prophetes and perfaicte me have desired to se tho thinges which ye se and have not sene the: and to heare tho thinges which ye heare and have not herde the.
18 Hear ye then the parable of the man who sows.
Heare ye therfore ye similitude of the sower.
19 Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.
Whosoever heareth the worde of ye kingdome and vnderstondeth it not ther cometh the evyll ma and catcheth awaye yt which was sowne in his hert. And this is he which was sowne by the wayesyde.
20 And that which was sown upon the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and straightaway receiving it with joy,
But he yt was sowne in ye stony groude is he which heareth the worde of God and anone wt ioye receaveth it
21 yet he has no root in himself, instead it is temporary. And when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway he is caused to stumble.
yet hath he no rottes in him selfe and therfore dureth but a season: for assone as tribulacion or persecucion aryseth because of the worde by and by he falleth.
22 And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
He yt was sowne amoge thornes is he yt heareth ye worde of God: but the care of this worlde and the dissaytfulnes of ryches choke ye worde and so is he made vnfrutfull. (aiōn g165)
23 But that which was sown upon the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and is productive, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
He which is sowne in ye good grounde is he yt heareth ye worde and vnderstodeth it which also bereth frute and bringeth forth some an. C. folde some sixtie folde and some. xxx. folde.
24 He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man sowing good seed in his field.
Another similitude put he forth vnto the sayinge: The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a man which sowed good seed in his felde.
25 But while the men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away.
But whyll men slepte ther came his foo and sowed tares amoge ye wheate and wet his waye.
26 And when the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.
When ye blade was sproge vp and had brought forth frute the appered ye tares also.
27 But the bondmen of the house-ruler having come, they said to him, Sir, did thou not sow good seed in thy field? From where then does it have tares?
The servauntes came to the housholder and sayde vnto him: Syr sowedest not thou good seed in thy closse fro whece the hath it tares?
28 And he said to them, A hostile man did this. And the bondmen said to him, Do thou desire therefore, after going, we would gather them up?
He sayde to the the envious ma hath done this. Then ye servauntes sayde vnto him: wilt thou then yt we go and gader them?
29 But he said, No, lest while gathering up the tares, ye uproot the wheat together with them.
But he sayde nay lest whill ye go aboute to wede out ye tares ye plucke vppe also wt them ye wheate by ye rottes:
30 Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles in order to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.
let bothe growe to gether tyll harvest come and in tyme of harvest I wyll saye to the repers gather ye fyrst ye tares and bind the in sheves to be bret: but gather the wheete into my barne.
31 He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard plant, which having taken, a man sowed in his field.
Another parable he put forthe vnto the sayinge. The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a grayne of mustard seed which a ma taketh and soweth in his felde
32 Which indeed is smaller than all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and lodge in the branches of it.
which is ye leest of all seedes. But when it is groune it is the greatest amoge yerbes and it is a tree: so yt the bryddes of the ayer come and bylde in the brauches of it.
33 He spoke another parable to them. The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which having taken, a woman hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened.
Another similitude sayde he to them. The kyngdome of heven is lyke vnto leve which a woman taketh and hydeth in. iii. peckes of meele tyll all be levended.
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes, and he did not speak to them independent of a parable,
All these thynge spake Iesus vnto the people by similitudes and with oute similitudes spake he nothinge to them
35 so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, I will open my mouth in parables. I will utter things concealed from the foundation of the world.
to fulfyll that which was spoke by the Prophet sayinge: I wyll ope my mouth in similitudes and wyll speake forth thinges which have bene kepte secrete from the begynninge of the worlde.
36 Then having sent the multitudes away, Jesus came into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.
Then sent Iesus ye people awaye and came to housse. And his disciples came vnto him sayinge: declare vnto vs the similitude of the tares of the felde.
37 And having answered, he said to them, He who sows the good seed is the Son of man,
Then answered he and sayde to them. He that soweth the good seed is the sonne of man.
38 and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of evil.
And ye felde is the worlde. And the chyldre of the kingdome they are ye good seed. And the tares are the chyldren of ye wicked.
39 And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are agents. (aiōn g165)
And the enemye that soweth the is ye devell. The harvest is ye end of the worlde. And the repers be ye angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned in fire, so it will be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
For eve as the tares are gaddred and bret in ye fyre: so shall it be in ye ende of this worlde. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man will send forth his agents, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness,
The sonne of man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kyngdome all thinges that offende and them which do iniquite
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre. There shalbe waylynge and gnasshing of teth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Then shall the iuste men shyne as bryght as the sunne in ye kyngdome of their father. Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
44 Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man having found, he hid. And from the joy of it, he goes and sells all, as many things as he has, and buys that field.
Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto treasure hidde in the felde ye which a man fyndeth and hideth: and for ioy therof goeth and selleth all that he hath and byeth that felde.
45 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls.
Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a marchaunt that seketh good pearles
46 Who, having found one very valuable pearl, after departing, sold all, as many things as he had, and bought it.
which when he had founde one precious pearle wet and solde all that he had and bought it.
47 Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered from every kind,
Agayne the kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a neet cast into ye see yt gadereth of all kyndes of fysshes:
48 which, when it was full, after dragging to the shore, having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, but they cast out the useless.
which whe it is full men drawe to londe and sitte and gadre the good into vessels and cast the bad awaye.
49 So it will be at the end of the age. The agents will come forth, and separate the bad from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the ende of the worlde. The angels shall come oute and sever the bad from the good (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
and shall cast them into a furnes of fyre: there shalbe waylinge and gnasshynge of teth.
51 Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
Iesus sayde vnto them: vnderstonde ye all these thynges? They sayde ye Lorde.
52 And he said to them, Because of this every scholar who has been instructed in the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a house-ruler, who brings forth out of his treasure things new and old.
The sayde he vnto them: Therfore every scribe which is taught vnto the kyngdome of heve is lyke an housholder which bryngeth forth out of hys treasure thynges bothe new and olde.
53 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, he departed from there.
And it came to passe when Iesus had finisshed these similitudes yt he departed thece
54 And having come into his fatherland he taught them in their synagogue, so as for them to be astonished, and say, From where is this wisdom and powers in this man?
and came in to his awne coutre and taught them in their synagoges in so moche yt they were astonyed and sayde: whece cometh all this wysdome and power vnto him?
55 Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James and Joses and Simon and Judas?
Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre be called Iames and Ioses and Simo and Iudas?
56 And his sisters, are they not all near us? From where then are all these things in this man?
And are not his susters all here wt vs? Whece hath he all these thynge.
57 And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and in his house.
And they were offended by him. The Iesus sayd to the a Prophet is not wt out honoure save in hys awne countre and amoge his awne kynne.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And he dyd not many miracles there for there vnbelefes sake.
