Matthew - douay rheims

Chapter 13

¹ THE same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.
² And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.
³ And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.
⁴ And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.
⁵ And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.
⁶ And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
⁷ And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.
⁸ And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?
¹¹ Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.
¹² For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.
¹³ Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
¹⁴ And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.
¹⁵ For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
¹⁷ For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.
¹⁸ Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.
¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.
²⁰ And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.
²¹ Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.
²² And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless.
²³ But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty.
²⁴ Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.
²⁵ But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.
²⁶ And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.
²⁷ And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?
²⁸ And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?
²⁹ And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.
³⁰ Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.
³¹ Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
³² Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.
³³ Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.
³⁵ That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
³⁶ Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.
³⁷ Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.
³⁸ And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.
³⁹ And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.
⁴⁰ Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.
⁴¹ The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
⁴² And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
⁴³ Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
⁴⁵ Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
⁴⁶ Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.
⁴⁷ Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.
⁴⁸ Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
⁴⁹ So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.
⁵⁰ And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
⁵¹ Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
⁵² He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
⁵³ And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.
⁵⁴ And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?
⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:
⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things?
⁵⁷ And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
⁵⁸ And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

Chapter 13

¹ The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
² And great multitudes were gathered to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
³ And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
⁴ And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
⁵ Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
⁶ And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had not root, they withered.
⁷ And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
⁸ But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some a hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold.
⁹ Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
¹⁰ And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
¹¹ He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
¹² For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
¹⁵ For this people's heart is become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
¹⁷ For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
¹⁸ Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.
²⁰ But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
²¹ Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, forthwith he is offended.
²² He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
²³ But he that receiveth seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty, some thirty.
²⁴ Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
²⁵ But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and departed.
²⁶ But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
²⁷ So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
²⁸ He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them?
²⁹ But he said, No; lest while ye gather the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
³¹ Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
³² Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.
³³ Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
³⁵ That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
³⁶ Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Declare to us the parable of the tares of the field.
³⁷ He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
³⁸ The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
³⁹ The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
⁴⁰ As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
⁴¹ The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
⁴² And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
⁴³ Then shall the righteous shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which, when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
⁴⁶ Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
⁴⁸ Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
⁴⁹ So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
⁵⁰ And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
⁵¹ Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
⁵² Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed to the kingdom of heaven, is like a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
⁵³ And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
⁵⁴ And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
⁵⁷ And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.
⁵⁸ And he did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.

Chapter 13

¹ that day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the seaside.
² multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat, and sat, and all the multitude stood on the beach.
³ spoke to them many things in parables, saying, "Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
⁴ he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
⁵ fell on rocky ground, where they didn't have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
⁶ the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
⁷ fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
⁸ fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
⁹ who has ears to hear, let him hear."
¹⁰ disciples came, and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
¹¹ answered them, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
¹² 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.
¹³ I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don't see, and hearing, they don't hear, neither do they understand.
¹⁴ 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:
¹⁵ this people's heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and should turn again; and I would heal them.'
¹⁶ blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
¹⁷ 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.
¹⁸ then, the parable of the farmer.
¹⁹ 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.
²⁰ was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
²¹ he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
²² was sown among 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.
²³ was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
²⁴ set another parable before them, saying, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
²⁵ while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also among the wheat, and went away.
²⁶ when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
²⁷ servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where did this darnel come from?'
²⁸ said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and gather them up?'
²⁹ he said, 'No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
³⁰ 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."'"
³¹ 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;
³² 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."
³³ 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."
³⁴ spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn't speak to them,
³⁵ 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."
³⁶ Jesus 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."
³⁷ answered them, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
³⁸ field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
³⁹ enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.
⁴⁰ therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burned with fire; so will it be at the end of this age.
⁴¹ 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,
⁴² will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
⁴³ the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
⁴⁴ the Kingdom of Heaven is like a 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.
⁴⁵ the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
⁴⁶ having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
⁴⁷ the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet, that was cast into the sea, and gathered some fish of every kind,
⁴⁸ when it was filled, they drew up on the beach. They sat down, and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
⁴⁹ will it be in the end of the world. The angels will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous,
⁵⁰ will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth."
⁵¹ said to them, "Have you understood all these things?" They answered him, "Yes, Lord."
⁵² 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."
⁵³ happened that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
⁵⁴ 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?
⁵⁵ this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
⁵⁶ all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?"
⁵⁷ were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house."
⁵⁸ didn't do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Chapter 13

¹ And that [same] day Jesus went out from the house and sat down by the sea.
² And great crowds were gathered together to him, so that going on board ship himself he sat down, and the whole crowd stood on the shore.
³ And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went out to sow:
⁴ and as he sowed, some [grains] fell along the way, and the birds came and devoured them;
⁵ and others fell upon the rocky places where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang up out of [the ground] because of not having [any] depth of earth,
⁶ but when the sun rose they were burned up, and because of not having [any] root were dried up;
⁷ and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;
⁸ and others fell upon the good ground, and produced fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
⁹ He that has ears, let him hear.
¹⁰ And the disciples came up and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
¹¹ And he answering said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given;
¹² for whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall be caused to be in abundance; but he who has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
¹³ For this cause I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor understand;
¹⁴ and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see;
¹⁵ for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
¹⁶ But blessed are *your* eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear;
¹⁷ for verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see the things which ye behold and did not see [them], and to hear the things which ye hear and did not hear [them].
¹⁸ *Ye*, therefore, hear the parable of the sower.
¹⁹ From every one who hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand [it], the wicked one comes and catches away what was sown in his heart: this is he that is sown by the wayside.
²⁰ But he that is sown on the rocky places -- this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
²¹ but has no root in himself, but is for a time only; and when tribulation or persecution happens on account of the word, he is immediately offended.
²² And he that is sown among the thorns -- this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
²³ But he that is sown upon the good ground -- this is he who hears and understands the word, who bears fruit also, and produces, one a hundred, one sixty, and one thirty.
²⁴ Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
²⁵ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel amongst the wheat, and went away.
²⁶ But when the blade shot up and produced fruit, then appeared the darnel also.
²⁷ And the bondmen of the householder came up and said to him, Sir, hast thou not sown good seed in thy field? whence then has it darnel?
²⁸ And he said to them, A man [that is] an enemy has done this. And the bondmen said to him, Wilt thou then that we should go and gather it [up]?
²⁹ But he said, No; lest [in] gathering the darnel ye should root up the wheat with it.
³⁰ Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.
³¹ Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and sowed in his field;
³² which is less indeed than all seeds, but when it is grown is greater than herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and roost in its branches.
³³ He spoke another parable to them: The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it had been all leavened.
³⁴ All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and without a parable he did not speak to them,
³⁵ so that that should be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from [the] world's foundation.
³⁶ Then, having dismissed the crowds, he went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Expound to us the parable of the darnel of the field.
³⁷ But he answering said, He that 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, but the darnel are the sons of the evil [one];
³⁹ and the enemy who has sowed it is the devil; and the harvest is [the] completion of [the] age, and the harvestmen are angels.
⁴⁰ As then the darnel is gathered and is burned in the fire, thus it shall be in the completion of the age.
⁴¹ The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all offences, and those that practise lawlessness;
⁴² and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
⁴³ Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.
⁴⁴ The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hid in the field, which a man having found has hid, and for the joy of it goes and sells all whatever he has, and buys that field.
⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls;
⁴⁶ and having found one pearl of great value, he went and sold all whatever he had and bought it.
⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a seine which has been cast into the sea, and which has gathered together of every kind,
⁴⁸ which, when it has been filled, having drawn up on the shore and sat down, they gathered the good into vessels and cast the worthless out.
⁴⁹ Thus shall it be in the completion of the age: the angels shall go forth and sever the wicked from the midst of the just,
⁵⁰ and shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
⁵¹ Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, [Lord].
⁵² And he said to them, For this reason every scribe discipled to the kingdom of the heavens is like a man [that is] a householder who brings out of his treasure things new and old.
⁵³ And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these parables he withdrew thence.
⁵⁴ And having come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this [man] this wisdom and these works of power?
⁵⁵ Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then has this [man] all these things?
⁵⁷ And they were offended in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, unless in his country and in his house.
⁵⁸ And he did not there many works of power, because of their unbelief.

Chapter 13

¹ On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
² And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
³ And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;
⁴ and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:
⁵ and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth:
⁶ and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
⁷ And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:
⁸ and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
⁹ He that hath ears, let him hear.
¹⁰ And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
¹¹ And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
¹² For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
¹³ Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
¹⁴ And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:
¹⁵ For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
¹⁷ For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
¹⁸ Hear then ye the parable of the sower.
¹⁹ When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, [then] cometh the evil [one], and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.
²⁰ And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;
²¹ yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.
²² And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
²³ And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
²⁴ Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:
²⁵ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.
²⁶ But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
²⁷ And the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it tares?
²⁸ And he said unto them, An enemy hath done this. And the servants say unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
²⁹ But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.
³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.
³¹ Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
³² which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.
³³ Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
³⁴ All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto 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.
³⁶ Then he left the multitudes, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
³⁷ And he answered and said, He that soweth 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 tares are the sons of the evil [one];
³⁹ and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.
⁴⁰ As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world.
⁴¹ The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity,
⁴² and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
⁴³ Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.
⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:
⁴⁶ and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
⁴⁸ which, when it was filled, they drew up on the beach; and they sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but the bad they cast away.
⁴⁹ So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,
⁵⁰ and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
⁵¹ Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.
⁵² And he said unto them, Therefore every scribe who hath been made a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
⁵³ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
⁵⁴ And coming into his own country he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
⁵⁷ And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.
⁵⁸ And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Chapter 13

¹ On that day Jesus went out of the house and was seated by the seaside.
² And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.
³ And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, A man went out to put seed in the earth;
⁴ And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:
⁵ And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:
⁶ And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.
⁷ And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:
⁸ And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.
⁹ He who has ears, let him give ear.
¹⁰ And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?
¹¹ And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
¹² Because whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have more; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
¹³ For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.
¹⁴ And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:
¹⁵ For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.
¹⁶ But a blessing be on your eyes, because they see; and on your ears, because they are open.
¹⁷ For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
¹⁸ Give ear, then, to the story of the man who put the seed in the earth.
¹⁹ When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.
²⁰ And that which went on the stones, this is he who, hearing the word, straight away takes it with joy;
²¹ But having no root in himself, he goes on for a time; and when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, he quickly becomes full of doubts.
²² And that which was dropped among the thorns, this is he who has the word; and the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, put a stop to the growth of the word and it gives no fruit.
²³ And the seed which was put in good earth, this is he who gives ear to the word, and gets the sense of it; who gives fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.
²⁴ And he gave them another story, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who put good seed in his field:
²⁵ But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.
²⁶ But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.
²⁷ And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?
²⁸ And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?
²⁹ But he says, No, for fear that by chance while you take up the evil plants, you may be rooting up the grain with them.
³⁰ Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.
³¹ He put another story before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his field:
³² Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places in its branches.
³³ Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.
³⁴ All these things Jesus said to the people in the form of stories; and without a story he said nothing to them:
³⁵ That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.
³⁶ Then he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.
³⁷ And he made answer and said, He who puts the good seed in the earth is the Son of man;
³⁸ And the field is the world; and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom; and the evil seeds are the sons of the Evil One;
³⁹ And he who put them in the earth is Satan; and the getting in of the grain is the end of the world; and those who get it in are the angels.
⁴⁰ As then the evil plants are got together and burned with fire, so will it be in the end of the world.
⁴¹ The Son of man will send out his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything which is a cause of error, and all those who do wrong,
⁴² And will put them into the fire; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
⁴³ Then will the upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.
⁴⁴ The kingdom of heaven is like a secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get that field.
⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a trader searching for beautiful jewels.
⁴⁶ And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.
⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish:
⁴⁸ When it was full, they took it up on the sands; and seated there they put the good into vessels, but the bad they put away.
⁴⁹ So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,
⁵⁰ And will put them into the fire: there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.
⁵¹ Are all these things now clear to you? They say to him, Yes.
⁵² And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.
⁵³ And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.
⁵⁴ And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?
⁵⁵ Is not this the woodworker's son? is not his mother named Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
⁵⁶ And his sisters, are they not all with us? from where, then, has he all these things?
⁵⁷ And they were bitter against him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is nowhere without honour but in his country and among his family.
⁵⁸ And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.
