Matthew 13
1 That same day Jesus, [along with us] disciples, left the house [where he was teaching and went] to [Galilee lake]. He sat down there,
in/on/among (then *k) the/this/who day that to go out the/this/who Jesus (away from *k) the/this/who home to sit from/with/beside the/this/who sea
2 and a very large crowd gathered around him to [listen to his teaching]. So, [in order that they would not jostle him] (OR, [to speak to the people better]), he got into a boat and sat down [to teach them]. The crowd stood on the shore [and was listening].
and to assemble to/with it/s/he crowd much so it/s/he toward (the/this/who *k) boat to climb to sit and all the/this/who crowd upon/to/against the/this/who shore to stand
3 He was telling them many parables. [One of the parables] that he told them was this: “Listen! A man went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
and to speak it/s/he much in/on/among parable to say look! to go out the/this/who to sow the/this/who to sow
4 As he was scattering [them over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
and in/on/among the/this/who to sow it/s/he which on the other hand to collapse from/with/beside the/this/who road and (to come/go *N+k+o) the/this/who bird (and *ko) to devour it/s/he
5 Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of the] rock. Those seeds sprouted very soon, [because the sun quickly warmed] the shallow soil.
another then to collapse upon/to/against the/this/who rocky where(-ever) no to have/be earth: soil much and immediately to sprout up through/because of the/this/who not to have/be depth earth: soil
6 But when [the young plants came up], they were scorched by the sun, and they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
sun then to rise to scorch and through/because of the/this/who not to have/be root to dry
7 Other seeds fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together with the young plants], and [they] crowded out [the plants].
another then to collapse upon/to/against the/this/who a thorn and to ascend the/this/who a thorn and (to choke *N+kO) it/s/he
8 [But] other seeds fell on good soil, and [the plants grew and] produced [a lot of] grain. Some [plants produced] 100 times [as many seeds as were planted]. Some [plants produced] 60 times [as much]. Some [plants produced] 30 times [as much].
another then to collapse upon/to/against the/this/who earth: soil the/this/who good and to give fruit which on the other hand hundred which then sixty which then thirty
9 If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
the/this/who to have/be ear (to hear *ko) to hear
10 [We] disciples approached Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you speak to the crowd?”
and to come near/agree the/this/who disciple to say it/s/he through/because of which? in/on/among parable to speak it/s/he
11 He answered [us] saying, “God [EUP/MTY] is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [over people’s lives]. But he has not revealed it to others.
the/this/who then to answer to say it/s/he that/since: since you to give to know the/this/who mystery the/this/who kingdom the/this/who heaven that then no to give
12 Those who [think about what I say and] understand [it], God will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [think carefully about what I say] will forget even what they already know.
who/which for to have/be to give it/s/he and to exceed who/which then no to have/be and which to have/be to take up away from it/s/he
13 That is why I use parables when I speak to people, because although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means], and although they hear [what I say], they do not really understand [what it means].
through/because of this/he/she/it in/on/among parable it/s/he to speak that/since: since to see no to see and to hear no to hear nor to understand
14 What these people do completely fulfills what [God told] the prophet Isaiah [to say long ago to the people who did not] try to understand what he said, You will hear [what I say], but you will not understand it. You will keep seeing [what I do], but you will not understand [what it means] [DOU].
and to fulfil (upon/to/against *k) it/s/he the/this/who prophecy Isaiah the/this/who to say hearing to hear and no not to understand and to see to see and no not to perceive: understand
15 [God also said to Isaiah], These people have become unresponsive [MTY] [to what they see me do and to what they hear me say]. They listen unwillingly [MTY] [to what I say], and they do not pay attention to [MTY] [what I do]. If it were not so, they would perceive [MTY] [what I am doing], they would understand [MTY] [what I say to them], and they would turn [away from their sinful lives] and turn [to me], and I would save them [from being punished for their sins] [MET].
to thicken for the/this/who heart the/this/who a people this/he/she/it and the/this/who ear difficultly to hear and the/this/who eye it/s/he to close not once/when to perceive: see the/this/who eye and the/this/who ear to hear and the/this/who heart to understand and to turn and (to heal *N+kO) it/s/he
16 But as for you, God is pleased with you because you [SYN] have seen [what I have done] and because you [SYN] understand [what I say] [DOU].
you then blessed the/this/who eye that/since: since to see and the/this/who ear you that/since: since (to hear *N+kO)
17 Note this: Many prophets and righteous people [who lived long ago] longed to see what you are seeing [me do], but they did not see it. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but they did not hear [what you hear me say].” [DOU]
amen for to say you that/since: that much prophet and just to long for to perceive: see which to see and no to perceive: see and to hear which to hear and no to hear
18 “[Since God wants] you [to understand what I am teaching you], listen as I [explain] the parable about the man who sowed [seeds in various kinds of soil].
you therefore/then to hear the/this/who parable the/this/who (to sow *N+kO)
19 The people who hear about how God rules over people’s lives and do not understand [what they have heard] are [like] the path where [some of] the seeds fell. [Satan], the Evil One, comes and causes these people to forget [MET] what they have heard [MET].
all to hear the/this/who word the/this/who kingdom and not to understand to come/go the/this/who evil/bad and to seize the/this/who to sow in/on/among the/this/who heart it/s/he this/he/she/it to be the/this/who from/with/beside the/this/who road to sow
20 [Some people are like the] shallow soil on top of rock. When they hear God’s message, they immediately accept it joyfully.
the/this/who then upon/to/against the/this/who rocky to sow this/he/she/it to be the/this/who the/this/who word to hear and immediately with/after joy to take it/s/he
21 [But because it does not penetrate deeply into their inner beings, they believe it for only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When they are treated badly and caused to suffer because they believe [God’s message], they soon stop believing [it].
no to have/be then root in/on/among themself but temporary to be to be then pressure or persecution through/because of the/this/who word immediately to cause to stumble
22 [Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
the/this/who then toward the/this/who a thorn to sow this/he/she/it to be the/this/who the/this/who word to hear and the/this/who concern the/this/who an age: age (this/he/she/it *ko) and the/this/who deceit the/this/who riches to choke the/this/who word and unfruitful to be (aiōn g165)
23 But [some people are like the] good soil where [some of the seeds] fell. [Just like the plants that grew in this soil] produced a lot of grain, [these people] hear my message and understand it. [Some of them] do many things [IDM] [that please God, some do] even more [things that please God, and some do] very many [things that please God].”
the/this/who then upon/to/against the/this/who good (the/this/who *k) earth: soil to sow this/he/she/it to be the/this/who the/this/who word to hear and to understand which so to bear fruit and to do/make: do which on the other hand hundred which then sixty which then thirty
24 Jesus also told the crowd another parable, [by which he tried to explain that although] God [MTY/EUP] is a king, [he will not immediately judge and punish all the wicked people]. Jesus said, “[God] is like a landowner [who sent his servants] to sow good [wheat] seed in his field.
another parable to set before it/s/he to say to liken the/this/who kingdom the/this/who heaven a human (to sow *N+kO) good seed(s) in/on/among the/this/who field it/s/he
25 While those servants were sleeping [and not watching the field], an enemy of the landowner came and scattered weed [seeds] in the midst of the wheat. Then he left.
in/on/among then the/this/who to sleep the/this/who a human to come/go it/s/he the/this/who enemy and (to sow above *N+kO) weed each midst the/this/who grain and to go away
26 After [the seeds] sprouted and the green plants [grew], the heads of grain began to form. But the weeds also grew.
when then to sprout the/this/who grass and fruit to do/make: do then to shine/appear and the/this/who weed
27 So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, you [RHQ] [gave us good seeds and those are the ones we] [RHQ] [planted] in your field. So where did the weeds come from?’
to come near/agree then the/this/who slave the/this/who householder to say it/s/he lord: master not! good seed(s) to sow in/on/among the/this/who you field whence therefore/then to have/be (the/this/who *k) weed
28 The landowner said to them, ‘[My] enemy did this.’ His servants said to him, ‘So, do you want us to pull up [the weeds and] put them in a pile?’
the/this/who then to assert it/s/he enemy a human this/he/she/it to do/make: do the/this/who then slave (to say *N+kO) it/s/he to will/desire therefore/then to go away (to collect *NK+o) it/s/he
29 He said [to them], ‘No, [do not do that, because] you might pull up [some of] the wheat at the same time.
the/this/who then (to assert *N+kO) no not once/when to collect the/this/who weed to uproot together it/s/he the/this/who grain
30 Let the wheat and the weeds grow together until harvest [time].’ At that time I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather the weeds, tie them into bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat [and put it] into my barns.’”
to release: permit to grow together both (until *N+kO) the/this/who harvest and in/on/among (the/this/who *k) time/right time the/this/who harvest to say the/this/who reaper to collect first the/this/who weed and to bind it/s/he toward bundle to/with the/this/who to burn it/s/he the/this/who then grain (to assemble *NK+o) toward the/this/who storehouse me
31 Jesus also told this parable: “The [number of] (OR, [God’s influence in the lives of]) [people whose] lives God rules over [will continue to grow. It is very much] like mustard seeds grow after a man plants them in his field.
another parable to set before it/s/he to say like to be the/this/who kingdom the/this/who heaven seed mustard which to take a human to sow in/on/among the/this/who field it/s/he
32 Although mustard seeds are among the smallest of all the seeds [that people plant, here in Israel they become large plants. When the plants have fully grown, they are larger than the other garden plants. They become shrubs that are large enough for birds to build nests in their branches.”]
which small on the other hand to be all the/this/who seed(s) when(-ever) then to grow great the/this/who plant to be and to be tree so to come/go the/this/who bird the/this/who heaven and to dwell in/on/among the/this/who branch it/s/he
33 Jesus also told this parable: “[The way people who let] God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives [MET] [can influence the world] is like yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
another parable to speak it/s/he like to be the/this/who kingdom the/this/who heaven leaven which to take woman (to mix *NK+o) toward flour seah Three until which to leaven all
34 Jesus told the crowd parables [to teach them] all these things. When he spoke [HYP] to them, he habitually used such illustrations.
this/he/she/it all to speak the/this/who Jesus in/on/among parable the/this/who crowd and without parable (none *N+kO) to speak it/s/he
35 By doing that, [he] fulfilled what [God told one of] the prophets to write [long ago]: I will speak [MTY] in parables; I will tell [parables to teach] what I have kept secret since I created the world.
that to fulfill the/this/who to say through/because of the/this/who prophet to say to open in/on/among parable the/this/who mouth me to utter/proclaim to hide away from beginning world
36 After Jesus dismissed the crowds, he went inside. Then [we] disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable about the weeds [that grew] in the [wheat] field.”
then to release: leave the/this/who crowd to come/go toward the/this/who home (the/this/who Jesus *k) and to come near/agree it/s/he the/this/who disciple it/s/he to say (to explain *N+kO) me the/this/who parable the/this/who weed the/this/who field
37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed represents [me], the one who came from heaven.
the/this/who then to answer to say (it/s/he *k) the/this/who to sow the/this/who good seed(s) to be the/this/who son the/this/who a human
38 The field represents this world [MTY], [where people live]. The seeds [that grew] well represent the people who let God rule their lives [MET]. The weeds represent the people who do what [the devil], the Evil One, [tells them to do].
the/this/who then field to be the/this/who world the/this/who then good seed(s) this/he/she/it to be the/this/who son the/this/who kingdom the/this/who then weed to be the/this/who son the/this/who evil/bad
39 The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
the/this/who then enemy the/this/who to sow it/s/he to be the/this/who devilish/the Devil the/this/who then harvest consummation (the/this/who *k) an age: age to be the/this/who then reaper angel to be (aiōn g165)
40 The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
just as therefore/then to collect the/this/who weed and fire (to burn *NK+o) thus(-ly) to be in/on/among the/this/who consummation the/this/who an age: age (this/he/she/it *k) (aiōn g165)
41 I, the one who came from heaven, will send my angels, and they will gather [from everywhere the people] who cause others to quit believing in me [MET] and all those who disobey [God’s] commands.
to send the/this/who son the/this/who a human the/this/who angel it/s/he and to collect out from the/this/who kingdom it/s/he all the/this/who stumbling block and the/this/who to do/make: do the/this/who lawlessness
42 They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
and to throw: throw it/s/he toward the/this/who furnace/oven the/this/who fire there to be the/this/who weeping and the/this/who gnashing the/this/who tooth
43 [God’s] brightness will shine [on] the people who have lived as he wants them to. It will shine [on them as brightly] as the sun [shines]. It will shine on them in the place where [God], their Father, rules over them. If you want to understand this [MTY], you should think [carefully] about what I have just said.”
then the/this/who just to shine out as/when the/this/who sun in/on/among the/this/who kingdom the/this/who father it/s/he the/this/who to have/be ear (to hear *ko) to hear
44 “[What people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what a certain man did to acquire a treasure]. A treasure was hidden in a field by someone {Someone hid a treasure in a field [and never dug it up again]}. When [another] man found it, he hid it [by burying it again in order that no one else would find it]. Being very happy [that he had found something very valuable, he went and] sold all his possessions [to obtain money to buy the field the treasure was in]. He then went and bought the field, [and so he was able to acquire that treasure].
(again *k) like to be the/this/who kingdom the/this/who heaven treasure to hide in/on/among the/this/who field which to find/meet a human to hide and away from the/this/who joy it/s/he to go and to sell all just as/how much to have/be and to buy the/this/who field that
45 Also, what [people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what] a merchant [did who was] looking for good quality pearls [to buy].
again like to be the/this/who kingdom the/this/who heaven a human trader/merchant to seek good pearl
46 When he found one very costly pearl [that was for sale], he sold all his possessions [to acquire enough money to buy that pearl]. Then he [went and] bought it.
(which *k) to find/meet (then *no) one valuable pearl to go away to sell all just as/how much to have/be and to buy it/s/he
47 What God [MTY/EUP] [will do to people who falsely say that they are letting him] rule their lives is like what certain [fishermen] did [with the fish they caught] in a lake, using a large net. They caught all classes [of fish, both useful and worthless fish].
again like to be the/this/who kingdom the/this/who heaven dragnet to throw: throw toward the/this/who sea and out from all family: kind to assemble
48 When the net was full, the [fishermen] pulled it up onto the shore. Then they sat there and put the useful [fish] into buckets, and threw the worthless ones away.
which when to fulfill to pull up upon/to/against the/this/who shore and to seat to collect the/this/who good toward (vessel *N+kO) the/this/who then rotten out/outside(r) to throw: throw
49 [What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
thus(-ly) to be in/on/among the/this/who consummation the/this/who an age: age to go out the/this/who angel and to separate the/this/who evil/bad out from midst the/this/who just (aiōn g165)
50 They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
and to throw: throw it/s/he toward the/this/who furnace/oven the/this/who fire there to be the/this/who weeping and the/this/who gnashing the/this/who tooth
51 [Then Jesus asked us], “Do you understand all these [parables I have told you]?” We said to him,
(to say it/s/he the/this/who Jesus *k) to understand this/he/she/it all to say it/s/he yes (lord: God *k)
52 “Yes, [we understand them].” Then he said to us, “Because [you understand all these parables], [you will understand the following parable: You, along with] all others, will teach people what [you heard me say] about God ruling people’s lives. [You will add that to what you formerly learned. You will be] like a manager of a household who takes both new things and old things out of his storage room.”
the/this/who then to say it/s/he through/because of this/he/she/it all scribe to disciple (toward *k) (the/this/who kingdom *N+kO) the/this/who heaven like to be a human householder who/which to expel out from the/this/who treasure it/s/he new and old
53 When Jesus had finished [telling] these parables, he took [us] and left that [area].
and to be when to finish the/this/who Jesus the/this/who parable this/he/she/it to leave from there
54 We went to [Nazareth, his hometown. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day]) he began to teach the people in the Jewish worship house. The result was that the people there were astonished. But [some] said, “[This man is just an ordinary person like us. So] how is it that he knows so much and understands so much [RHQ]? And how is it that he is able to do [such] miracles [RHQ]?
and to come/go toward the/this/who fatherland it/s/he to teach it/s/he in/on/among the/this/who synagogue it/s/he so be astonished it/s/he and to say whence this/he/she/it the/this/who wisdom this/he/she/it and the/this/who power
55 (He is [just] the son of the carpenter!/Isn’t he [just] the son of the carpenter [that lived here]?) [RHQ] His mother is Mary, and his younger brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Judas [RHQ]!
no this/he/she/it to be the/this/who the/this/who craftsman son (no *N+kO) the/this/who mother it/s/he to say: call Mary and the/this/who brother it/s/he James and (Joseph *N+kO) and Simon and Jude
56 (And his sisters [also live] here in our [town]./Do not his sisters [live] in our [town]?) [RHQ] So how is he able to do all these [miracles]?”
and the/this/who sister it/s/he not! all to/with me to be whence therefore/then this/he/she/it this/he/she/it all
57 The people were unable to accept [that] he [was the Messiah. So] Jesus said to them, “[People] honor [me and other] prophets [everywhere else we go], but in [our] hometowns [we are] not [honored], and [even] our own families do not [honor us!]”
and to cause to stumble in/on/among it/s/he the/this/who then Jesus to say it/s/he no to be prophet dishonored if: not not in/on/among the/this/who fatherland (it/s/he *k) and in/on/among the/this/who home: household it/s/he
58 Jesus did not perform many miracles there because the people did not believe [that he was the Messiah].
and no to do/make: do there power much through/because of the/this/who unbelief it/s/he
