Chapter 13
1That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.
(Hebrew unavailable)
2Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore.
(Hebrew unavailable)
3And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed.
(Hebrew unavailable)
4And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
(Hebrew unavailable)
5Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
(Hebrew unavailable)
6But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
(Hebrew unavailable)
7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold.
(Hebrew unavailable)
9He who has ears, let him hear.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
10Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
11He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12Whoever 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
14In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
(Hebrew unavailable)
15For 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.’
(Hebrew unavailable)
16But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17For 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18Consider, then, the parable of the sower:
(Hebrew unavailable)
19When 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22The 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
23But 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
24Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away.
(Hebrew unavailable)
26When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.
(Hebrew unavailable)
27The 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?’
(Hebrew unavailable)
28‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
(Hebrew unavailable)
29‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them.
(Hebrew unavailable)
30Let 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.’”
(Hebrew unavailable)
31He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field.
(Hebrew unavailable)
32Although 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
33He 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
34Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable.
(Hebrew unavailable)
35So 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
36Then 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
37He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
(Hebrew unavailable)
38The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
(Hebrew unavailable)
39and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
(Hebrew unavailable)
40As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
(Hebrew unavailable)
41The 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
42And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(Hebrew unavailable)
43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
(Hebrew unavailable)
44The 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
(Hebrew unavailable)
46When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
(Hebrew unavailable)
47Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish.
(Hebrew unavailable)
48When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.
(Hebrew unavailable)
49So will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous
(Hebrew unavailable)
50and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(Hebrew unavailable)
51Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered.
(Hebrew unavailable)
52Then 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.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
53When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
(Hebrew unavailable)
54Coming 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.
(Hebrew unavailable)
55“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
(Hebrew unavailable)
56Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?”
(Hebrew unavailable)
57And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
58And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
(Hebrew unavailable)
