Matthew 13
1 On that day Yeshua went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
On that day Jesus having come out from the house, was sitting by the sea:
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 multitudes were gathered unto Him, so that having gone into a ship, He sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
And He spoke many things to them in parables, 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 while he was sowing, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls 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.
And others fell among stones, where they had not much earth: and sprang up immediately, because they had no depth of earth:
6 When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
and the sun having risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Others fell amongst thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
But others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang 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 in good ground, and gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Let him that hath ears to hear, hear.
10 The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you 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.
He responding said to them, Because it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.
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.
But whosoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have more abundantly: but whosoever has not, it shall be taken from him even what he has.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they 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 the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled unto them, saying, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may not perceive.
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.’
Because the heart of this people is waxed gross, and they heard heavily with their ears, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I shall heal them.
16 “But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because 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.
Truly I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see those things which you see, and saw them not; and to hear those things which you hear, and heard them not.
18 “Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
Therefore hear ye the parable of the sower.
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.
Every one hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding it, the wicked one comes, and seizes away that which is sown in his heart: he is the one sown by the wayside.
20 What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
But the one sown upon the rocks, is he who heareth the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
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.
but it has no root in him, but is temporary; and tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, immediately he is offended.
22 What was sown amongst 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)
But the one sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word; and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke out the word, and he becomes 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.”
And the one having been sown on good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly bears fruit, and produces, some a hundred, some sixty, and 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,
He put forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man sowing good seed in his field.
25 but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also amongst the wheat, and went away.
And while the men slept, an enemy came, and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and departed.
26 But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
And when the blades sprang up, and produced fruit, then the tares were also made manifest.
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?’
And the servants of the landlord having come to him said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? whence then hath it 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 to them, A hostile man did this. And the servants say to him, Then do you wish that we, having gone, may gather them?
29 “But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
And he says, No; lest gathering the tares together you may at the same time along with them root up the wheat.
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 the harvest: and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, First gather the tares, and bind them in bundles, in order to burn them: and gather 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,
And He submitted another parable to them, saying; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which, a man having taken, 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 indeed is the smallest of all seeds; and when it grows up, is the greatest of herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven indeed lodge in its 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.”
And he spake another parable unto them; The kingdom of the heavens is like unto the leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
34 Yeshua spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
Jesus spoke all of these things to the multitudes in parables; and without a parable He was not speaking to them:
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.”
in order that the word spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables: I will make known the things which have been hidden from the foundation.
36 Then Yeshua 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 leaving the multitudes, He came 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 responding said, The one sowing 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.
and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons 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)
and the enemy sowing them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burnt with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
Then as the tares are gathered and burnt up with fire; so it will be in the end of the age. (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 will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who do iniquity,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping 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.
Then the righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. But let the one having ears, 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.
The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a treasure having been hidden in a field; which a man having found, concealed; and from his joy he goes and sells all things so many as he has, and buys that field.
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man seeking beautiful pearls:
46 who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
and having found one pearl of great price, having gone away he sold all things, so many as 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 the heavens is like unto a net cast into the sea, and gathering of every kind;
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 filled, drawing up on the shore, and sitting down, they gathered the good into baskets, and threw the bad away.
49 So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from amongst the righteous, (aiōn g165)
So it will be in the end of the age: the angels will go forth, and will separate the wicked from the midst of the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 Yeshua said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
Do you understand all these things? They say to Him, Yea.
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.”
And He said to them, Therefore every scribe having been discipled into the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a man who is a landlord, who bringeth out of his treasure things both new and old.
53 When Yeshua had finished these parables, he departed from there.
And it came to pass, when Jesus 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 having come into His own country He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence this wisdom and these miracles unto Him?
55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Miriam, and his brothers Jacob, Yosi, Simon, and Judah?
Is not He the son of the carpenter? is not His mother called Mary? are not His brothers, 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 are not His sisters all here with us? Whence then are these things to Him?
57 They were offended by him. But Yeshua said to them, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.”
And they were offended in Him. And Jesus said to them; A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.
58 He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
And He did not many mighty works there on account of their unbelief.
