Matthew 13
1 In (now *k) the day that having gone forth Jesus (from *k) [from] the house was sitting by the sea.
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
2 And were gathered together to Him crowds great so that He into a boat having climbed into to sit down, and all the crowd on the shore had stood.
Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
3 And He spoke to them many things in parables saying; Behold went out the [one] sowing to sow.
And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
4 And in the sowing of him some indeed fell along the road, and (having come *N+k+o) the birds (and *ko) devoured them.
And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Other now fell upon the rocky places where not it was having soil much, and immediately it sprang up through not having depth of soil.
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
6 when [the] sun now having risen they were scorched, and through the not having root were dried up.
But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
7 Other now fell upon the thorns, and grew up the thorns and (choked *N+kO) them.
Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
8 Other now fell upon the soil good and were yielding fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
9 The [one] having ears (to hear *ko) he should hear.
He who has ears, let him hear.”
10 And having come the disciples said to Him; Because of why in parables speak You to them?
Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
11 And answering He said to them; Because to you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, to them however not it has been granted.
He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever for has, will be given to him and will be abundant [to him] whoever now not has, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Because of this in parables to them I speak Because seeing not do they see and hearing not do they hear nor do they understand.
This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
14 And is fulfilled (concerning *k) them the prophecy of Isaiah who is saying: In hearing you will hear and certainly not may understand, and looking you will look and certainly not may perceive.
In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 Has grown dull for the heart of the people this, and with the ears barely they have heard, and the eyes of them they have closed; otherwise otherwise they may see with the eyes and with the ears they may hear and with the heart they may understand and may return and (I will heal *N+kO) them.’
For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
16 Of you however blessed [are] the eyes because they see and the ears of you because (they hear. *N+kO)
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
17 Amen for I say to you that many prophets and righteous [men] longed to see what you see, and not saw, and to hear what you hear, and not heard.
For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 You yourselves therefore do hear the parable of the [one] (having sown: *N+kO)
Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
19 Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding comes the evil one and snatches away that having been sown in the heart of him; This is the [one] on the path having been sown.
When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
20 That which now upon the rocky places having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it.
The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
21 no he has now root in himself but temporary is. when is coming however tribulation or persecution on account of the word immediately he falls away.
But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 That which now among the thorns having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing, and the care of the age (this *ko) and the deceit of riches choke the word, and unfruitful it becomes. (aiōn g165)
The seed sown among the thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 That however on the good soil having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and understanding, who indeed brings forth fruit and produces — some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.”
24 Another parable put He before them saying; Has become like the kingdom of the heavens a man (having sown *N+kO) good seed in the field of him.
Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 In now the [time] to sleep the men came his enemy and (over-sowed *N+kO) weeds in [the] midst of the wheat and went away.
But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
26 When now sprouted the plants and fruit produced, then appeared also the weeds.
When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
27 Having come to [him] now the servants of the master of the house said to him; Sir, surely good seed did you sow in your field? How then has it (the *k) weeds?
The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 He then was saying to them; An enemy a man this did. And the servants (they say *N+kO) to him: Do you desire then [that] having gone forth (we shall gather *NK+o) them?
‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 And (he says; *N+kO) No, lest when lest when gathering the weeds you may uproot together [with] them the wheat.
‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 do allow to grow together both (until *N+kO) the harvest; and in (the *k) time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters; do gather first the weeds and do bind them into bundles in order to burn them; and the wheat (do gather together *NK+o) into the barn of mine.’
Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’”
31 Another parable put He before them saying; Like is the kingdom of the heavens to a grain of mustard, which having taken a man sowed in the field of him;
He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field.
32 which smallest indeed is of all the seeds, when however it may be grown, greater than the garden plants it is and becomes a tree so that to come the birds of the air and perching in the branches of it.
Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 Another parable spoke He to them: Like is the kingdom of the heavens to leaven, which having taken a woman (hid *NK+o) in of flour measures three until of it was leavened all.
He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
34 These things all spoke Jesus in parables to the crowds and without a parable (no [thing] *N+kO) He was speaking to them,
Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
35 so that may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet saying; I will open in parables the mouth of Mine, I will utter [things] hidden from [the] foundation [of the] world.
So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”
36 Then having dismissed the crowds He went into the house (Jesus. *k) And came to Him the disciples of Him saying; (do explain *N+kO) to us the parable of the weeds of the field.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
37 And answering He said (to them: *k) The [One] sowing the good seed is the Son of Man;
He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 and the field is the world; and [the] good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil [one];
The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 and the enemy which having sown them is the devil; and the harvest [the] consummation (of the *k) age is; and the harvesters angels are. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore is gathered the weeds and in fire (is burned up, *NK+o) thus it will be in the consummation of the age (this. *k) (aiōn g165)
As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Will send forth the Son of Man the angels of Him, and they will gather out of the kingdom of Him all the causes of sin and those practicing lawlessness
The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His kingdom every cause of sin and all who practice lawlessness.
42 and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father of them. The [one] having ears (to hear *ko) he should hear.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44 (again *k) Like is the kingdom of the heavens to treasure hidden in the field, which having found a man hid. and for the joy of it goes and he sells all as much as he has and buys the field that.
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a merchant seeking fine pearls.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
46 (who *k) having found (now *no) one very precious pearl, having gone away he has sold all things as much as he was having and he bought it.
When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
47 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a dragnet having been cast into the sea and of every kind having gathered together,
Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
48 which when it was filled having drawn up on the shore and having sat down they collected the good into (vessels, *N+kO) the and bad out they cast.
When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
49 Thus will it be in the consummation of the age; will go out the angels and will separate the evil from [the] midst of the righteous (aiōn g165)
So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; There will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 (says to them Jesus *k) Did you understand these things all? They say to Him; Yes (Lord. *k)
Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
52 He then said to them; Because of this every scribe having been discipled (into *k) ([in] the kingdom *N+kO) of the heavens like is to a man a master of a house who puts forth out of the treasure of him [things] new and old.
Then He told them, “For this reason, every scribe who has been discipled in the kingdom of heaven is like a homeowner who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
53 And it came to pass when finished Jesus parables these, He withdrew from there;
When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
54 And having come into the region of Him He was teaching them in the synagogue of them so that to be astonished they and to say: From where [came] to this [man] wisdom this and the miraculous powers?
Coming to His hometown, He taught the people in their synagogue, and they were astonished. “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?” they asked.
55 Surely this is the of the carpenter Son? (Surely *N+kO) the mother of Him is named Mary? And the brothers of Him James and (Joseph *N+kO) and Simon and Judas?
“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 And the sisters of Him surely all with us are? From where then to this [man] these things all?
Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
57 And they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them; Not is a prophet without Honor only except in the hometown (of him *k) and in the household of him.
And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
58 And not He did there miracles many because of the unbelief of them.
And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
