1Kai palin archeta didaskarō para tan thalassan. kai ⸀sunagotō pros auton ochlos ⸀pollotatos, hōste auton ⸂eis ploiem embainaranton⸃ kathorō en ta thalassa, kai pantos tos ochlos pros tan thalassan epi tau gēau ⸀ale.Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore. 2kai didaskate autoin en parabolai polleim kai legate autoi en ta didacha autou;And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said, 3Akouavōr. idou exerchata tos ⸀sperarōntos sperara.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4kai geneta en te sperarō hem men piptata para tan hodan, kai erchata teim peteineim kai katesthiata autem.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5⸂kai allosem⸃ piptata epi tem petrōdeem ⸀hopou ouk echate gēan pollan, kai ⸀euthuos exanatellata dia tem mē echarō bathem gēau;Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow. 6⸂kai hote anatellata tos hēlios⸃ ⸀kaumatizita kai dia tem mē echarō rizan xēranita.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7kai allosem piptata eis tain akanthain, kai anabainala tais akanthais kai sumpnigala autem, kai karpon ouk dōata.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop. 8kai ⸀alloseim piptata eis tan gēan tan kalan, kai dōate karpon anabainarōnteim kai ⸀auxanorōnteim, kai ferate ⸂henem triakonta kai henem hexēkonta kai henem⸃ hekaton.Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop — one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.” 9kai legate; ⸂Hos echatō⸃ oueim akouarō akouatōr.Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10⸂Kai hote⸃ geneta kata monain, ⸀erōtale auton tois peri auton sun toi dōdeka ⸂tain parabolain.⸃As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable. 11kai legate autoi; Vi ⸂tem mustēriem dōotē⸃ tau basileiau tou theou; ekeinoi de toi exō en parabolai teim panteim genotō,He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables, 12hina bleparōntois blepaleiō kai mē horaleia, kai akouarōntois akoualeiō kai mē suniēkaleiō, mēpote epistrefaleia kai afiēkiteia ⸀autoi.so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”
13Kai legatō autoi; Ouk oidavē tan parabolan houtan, kai pōs pantain tain parabolain gnōskevi?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables? 14tos sperarōntos ton logon speratō.The farmer sows the word. 15houtois de alō tois para tan hodan hopou sperotō tos logos, kai hotan akoualeia ⸀euthuos erchotō tos Satanos kai airatō ton logon ton sperorēnton ⸂eis autoin.⸃Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 16kai houtois alō ⸀homoiōs tois epi teim petrōdeeim sperorōntois, hois hotan akoualeia ton logon ⸀euthuos meta charau labalō auton,Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17kai ouk echalō rizan en heautoi alla proskairois alō, eita generantau thlipsiau ē diōgmou dia ton logon ⸀euthuos skandalizolō.But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18kai ⸀allosois alō tois eis tain akanthain sperorōntois; ⸂houtois alō⸃ tois ton logon ⸀akouarantois,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word, 19kai tais merimnais tou ⸀aiōnou kai tas apatas tou ploutou kai tais peri teim loipeim epithumiais eisporeuorōntais sumpnigalō ton logon, kai akarpos genotō.but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20kai ⸀ekeinois alō tois epi tan gēan tan kalan sperirantois, hotinois akoualō ton logon kai paradecholō kai karpoforalō ⸂henem triakonta kai henem hexēkonta kai henem⸃ hekaton.Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop — thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”
21Kai legate ⸀autoi; Mēti ⸂erchotō tos luchnos⸃ hina hupo ton modion tithiteia ē hupo tan klinan, ouk hina epi tan luchnan ⸀tithiteia?Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand? 22ouk gar atō ⸀kruptem ean mē ⸀hina faneriteia, oude geneta apokrufem alla hina ⸂erchateia eis fanerem.⸃For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light. 23ei tinos echatō oueim akouarō akouatōr.If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24kai legate autoi; Blepavōr tinem akouavō. en he metre metravō metriti vi kai prostithiti ⸀vi.He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you. 25hos gar ⸀echatō, dōiti auto; kai hos ouk echatō, kai ⸀hem echatō airiti apo autou.For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26Kai legate; Houtōs atō tas basileias tou theou ⸀hōs anthrōpos balateia ton sporon epi tau gēauJesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground. 27kai katheudateiō kai egeroteiō nuktan kai hēmeran, kai tos sporos ⸀blastateiō kai mēkunoteiō hōs ouk oidatē autos.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how. 28⸀automatas tas gēas karpoforatō, prōtem chorton, ⸂eita stachuon, eita⸃ ⸂plēron siton⸃ en to stachuo.All by itself the earth produces a crop— first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within. 29hotan de ⸀paradōateia tos karpos, ⸀euthuos apostelatō tem drepanem, hoti parastēatē tos therismos.And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
30Kai legate; ⸀Pōs homoianeia tan basileian tou theou, ē en ⸀tina ⸂autan parabola tithaneia?⸃Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it? 31hōs ⸀kokko sinapieu, hos hotan speriteia epi tau gēau, ⸂mikroterem arōntem⸃ panteiu teiu ⸀spermeiu teiu epi tau gēauIt is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth. 32kai hotan speriteia, anabainatō kai genotō ⸂megoterem panteiu teiu lachaneiu⸃ kai poiatō kladoin megoin, hōste dunorō hupo tan skian auteu teim peteineim tou ouranou kataskēnarō.But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
33Kai toioutai parabolai pollai lalate autoi ton logon, kathōs dunole akouarō;With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand. 34chōris de parabolau ouk lalate autoi, kata idian de toi ⸂idioi mathētoi⸃ epiluate panteim.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.
35Kai legatō autoi en ekeina ta hēmera opsēau generantau; Dierchaneia eis tem peran.When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.” 36kai afiēkarantois ton ochlon paralabalō auton hōs ate en te ploie, kai alloseim ⸀ploieim ate meta autou.After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him. 37kai genotō lailapas ⸂megas anemou,⸃ ⸂kai teim⸃ kumeim epibalate eis tem ploiem, hōste ⸂ēdē gemizorō tem ploiem.⸃Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped. 38kai ⸂autos ate⸃ ⸀en ta prumna epi tem proskefalaiem katheudarōntos; kai ⸀egeralō auton kai legalō auto; Didaskalor, ouk meleiatō si hoti apolonō?But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?” 39kai diegeirirantos epitimata to anemo kai legata ta thalassa; Siōpasōr, fimosēr. kai kopazata tos anemos, kai geneta galēnas megas.Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm. 40kai legata autoi; Tinem deilois avō? ⸀oupō echavō pistian?“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?” 41kai fobila fobon megon, kai legale pros allēloin; Tinos ara houtos atō hoti kai tos anemos kai tas thalassas ⸀hupakouatō auto?Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
