Matthew:13:1 @
And in that day Jesus ,
having gone forth from the house ,
was sitting by the sea ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:2 @
and gathered together unto him were many multitudes ,
so that he having gone into the boat did sit down ,
and all the multitude on the beach did stand ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:3 @
and he spake to them many things in similes ,
saying : '
Lo ,
the sower went forth to sow ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:4 @
and in his sowing ,
some indeed fell by the way ,
and the fowls did come and devour them ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:5 @
and others fell upon the rocky places ,
where they had not much earth ,
and immediately they sprang forth ,
through not having depth of earth ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:6 @
and the sun having risen they were scorched ,
and through not having root ,
they withered ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:7 @
and others fell upon the thorns ,
and the thorns did come up and choke them ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:8 @
and others fell upon the good ground ,
and were giving fruit ,
some indeed a hundredfold ,
and some sixty ,
and some thirty .
ylt @
Matthew:13:9 @
He who is having ears to hear --
let him hear .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:10 @
And the disciples having come near ,
said to him , '
Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them ?'
ylt @
Matthew:13:11 @
And he answering said to them that -- '
To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens ,
and to these it hath not been given ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:12 @
for whoever hath ,
it shall be given to him ,
and he shall have overabundance ,
and whoever hath not ,
even that which he hath shall be taken from him .
ylt @
Matthew:13:13 @'
Because of this ,
in similes do I speak to them ,
because seeing they do not see ,
and hearing they do not hear ,
nor understand ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:14 @
and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah ,
that saith ,
With hearing ye shall hear ,
and ye shall not understand ,
and seeing ye shall see ,
and ye shall not perceive ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:15 @
for made gross was the heart of this people ,
and with the ears they heard heavily ,
and their eyes they did close ,
lest they might see with the eyes ,
and with the ears might hear ,
and with the heart understand ,
and turn back ,
and I might heal them .
ylt @
Matthew:13:16 @'
And happy are your eyes because they see ,
and your ears because they hear ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:17 @
for verily I say to you ,
that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on ,
and they did not see ,
and to hear that which ye hear ,
and they did not hear .
ylt @
Matthew:13:18 @'
Ye ,
therefore ,
hear ye the simile of the sower :
ylt @
Matthew:13:19 @
Every one hearing the word of the reign ,
and not understanding --
the evil one doth come ,
and doth catch that which hath been sown in his heart ;
this is that sown by the way .
ylt @
Matthew:13:20 @'
And that sown on the rocky places ,
this is he who is hearing the word ,
and immediately with joy is receiving it ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:21 @
and he hath not root in himself ,
but is temporary ,
and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word ,
immediately he is stumbled .
ylt @
Matthew:13:22 @'
And that sown toward the thorns ,
this is he who is hearing the word ,
and the anxiety of this age ,
and the deceitfulness of the riches ,
do choke the word ,
and it becometh unfruitful .
ylt @
Matthew:13:23 @'
And that sown on the good ground :
this is he who is hearing the word ,
and is understanding ,
who indeed doth bear fruit ,
and doth make ,
some indeed a hundredfold ,
and some sixty ,
and some thirty .'

Matthew:13:24 @
Another simile he set before them ,
saying : '
The reign of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:25 @
and ,
while men are sleeping ,
his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat ,
and went away ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:26 @
and when the herb sprang up ,
and yielded fruit ,
then appeared also the darnel .
ylt @
Matthew:13:27 @'
And the servants of the householder ,
having come near ,
said to him ,
Sir ,
good seed didst thou not sow in thy field ?
whence then hath it the darnel ?
ylt @
Matthew:13:28 @
And he saith to them ,
A man ,
an enemy ,
did this ;
and the servants said to him ,
Wilt thou ,
then , [
that ]
having gone away we may gather it up ?
ylt @
Matthew:13:29 @'
And he said ,
No ,
lest --
gathering up the darnel --
ye root up with it the wheat ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:30 @
suffer both to grow together till the harvest ,
and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers ,
Gather up first the darnel ,
and bind it in bundles ,
to burn it ,
and the wheat gather up into my storehouse .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:31 @
Another simile he set before them ,
saying : '
The reign of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard ,
which a man having taken ,
did sow in his field ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:32 @
which less ,
indeed ,
is than all the seeds ,
but when it may be grown ,
is greatest of the herbs ,
and becometh a tree ,
so that the birds of the heaven do come and rest in its branches .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:33 @
Another simile spake he to them : '
The reign of the heavens is like to leaven ,
which a woman having taken ,
hid in three measures of meal ,
till the whole was leavened .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:34 @
All these things spake Jesus in similes to the multitudes ,
and without a simile he was not speaking to them ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:35 @
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet ,
saying , '
I will open in similes my mouth ,
I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:36 @
Then having let away the multitudes ,
Jesus came to the house ,
and his disciples came near to him ,
saying , '
Explain to us the simile of the darnel of the field .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:37 @
And he answering said to them , '
He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:38 @
and the field is the world ,
and the good seed ,
these are the sons of the reign ,
and the darnel are the sons of the evil one ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:39 @
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil ,
and the harvest is a full end of the age ,
and the reapers are messengers .
ylt @
Matthew:13:40 @'
As ,
then ,
the darnel is gathered up ,
and is burned with fire ,
so shall it be in the full end of this age ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:41 @
the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers ,
and they shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks ,
and those doing the unlawlessness ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:42 @
and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire ;
there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth .
ylt @
Matthew:13:43 @'
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father .
He who is having ears to hear --
let him hear .
ylt @
Matthew:13:44 @'
Again ,
the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field ,
which a man having found did hide ,
and from his joy goeth ,
and all ,
as much as he hath ,
he selleth ,
and buyeth that field .
ylt @
Matthew:13:45 @'
Again ,
the reign of the heavens is like to a man ,
a merchant ,
seeking goodly pearls ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:46 @
who having found one pearl of great price ,
having gone away ,
hath sold all ,
as much as he had ,
and bought it .
ylt @
Matthew:13:47 @'
Again ,
the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea ,
and did gather together of every kind ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:48 @
which ,
when it was filled ,
having drawn up again upon the beach ,
and having sat down ,
they gathered the good into vessels ,
and the bad they did cast out ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:49 @
so shall it be in the full end of the age ,
the messengers shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous ,
ylt @
Matthew:13:50 @
and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire ,
there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:51 @
Jesus saith to them , '
Did ye understand all these ?'
They say to him , '
Yes ,
sir .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:52 @
And he said to them , '
Because of this every scribe having been discipled in regard to the reign of the heavens ,
is like to a man ,
a householder ,
who doth bring forth out of his treasure things new and old .'
ylt @
Matthew:13:53 @
And it came to pass ,
when Jesus finished these similes ,
he removed thence ,
