Matthew 13 Kata Mathaion 13
1⸀En ta hēmera ekeina exercharantos tos Iēsus ⸀tau oikiau kathote para tan thalassan;That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2kai sunagila pros auton ochlois pollois, hōste auton ⸀eis ploiem embainaranton kathorō, kai pantos tos ochlos epi ton aigialon stēatelē.Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore. 3kai lalata autoi polleim en parabolai legarōntos; Idou exerchata tos sperarōntos teu sperarō.And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4kai en te sperarō auton heim men piptata para tan hodan, kai ⸂ercharanteim teim peteineim⸃ katesthiata auteim.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. 5alloseim de piptata epi teim petrōdeeim hopou ouk echate gēan pollan, kai eutheōs 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. 6hēliou de anatellarantou 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. 7alloseim de piptata epi tain akanthain, kai anabainala tais akanthais kai ⸀pnigala auteim.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings. 8alloseim de piptata epi tan gēan tan kalan kai dōate karpon, hem men hekaton hem de hexēkonta hem de triakonta.Still other seed fell on good soil and produced a crop — a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold. 9tos echarōntos ⸀oueim akouatōr.He who has ears, let him hear.”
10Kai prosercharantois tois mathētois legala auto; Dia tinem en parabolai lalasō autoi?Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?” 11tos de apokrinirantos legata ⸀autoi; Hoti vi dōotē gnōskara teim mustērieim tau basileiau toiu ouranoiu, ekeinoi de ouk dōotē.He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12hotinos gar echatō, dōiti auto kai perisseuiti; hotinos de ouk echatō, kai hem echatō airiti apo autou.Whoever 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. 13dia houtem en parabolai autoi lalamō, hoti bleparōntois ouk blepalō kai akouarōntois ouk akoualō oude suniēkalō;This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’ 14kai anaplērotō autoi tas profēteias Ēsaiou tas legarōntas; Akoa akouavi kai ouk mē suniēkaveia, kai bleparōntois blepavi kai ouk mē horaveia.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. 15pachunita gar tas kardias tou laou houtou, kai tei ouei bareōs akouala, kai toin ofthalmoin autoiu kammuala; mēpote horaleia toi ofthalmoi kai tei ouei akoualeia kai ta kardia suniēkaleia kai epistrefaleia, kai iemi autoin.For 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.’ 16vu de makariois tois ofthalmois hoti blepalō, kai teim oueim vu hoti ⸀akoualō.But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17amēn gar legamō vi hoti pollois profētois kai dikaiois epithumala horara heim blepavō kai ouk horala, kai akouara heim akouavō kai ouk akouala.For 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.
18Vis oun akouavar tan parabolan tou ⸀sperarantou.Consider, then, the parable of the sower: 19pantou akouarōntou ton logon tau basileiau kai mē suniēkarōntou, erchotō tos ponēros kai harpazatō tem sperorēntem en ta kardia autou; houtos atō tos para tan hodan sperirantos.When 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. 20tos de epi teim petrōdeeim sperirantos, houtos atō tos ton logon akouarōntos kai euthuos meta charau labarōntos auton,The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21ouk echatō de rizan en heauto alla proskairos atō, generantau de thlipsiau ē diōgmou dia ton logon euthuos skandalizotō.But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. 22tos de eis tain akanthain sperirantos, houtos atō tos ton logon akouarōntos, kai tas merimnas tou aiōnou ⸀houtou kai tas apatas tou ploutou sumpnigatō ton logon, kai akarpos genotō.The 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. 23tos de epi tan ⸂kalan gēan⸃ sperirantos, houtos atō tos ton logon akouarōntos kai ⸀suniēkarōntos, hos dē karpoforatō kai poiatō hem men hekaton hem de hexēkonta hem de triakonta.But 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.”
24Allosan parabolan paratithata autoi legarōntos; Homoiita tas basileias toiu ouranoiu anthrōpo ⸀speraranto kalem spermem en to agro autou.Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25en de te katheudarō toin anthrōpoin erchata autou tos echthros kai ⸀epispeirata zizanieim ana mesem tou sitou kai aperchata.But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away. 26hote de blastata tos chortos kai karpon poiata, tote fanita kai teim zizanieim.When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared. 27prosercharantois de tois doulois tou oikodespotou legala auto; Kurior, ouchi kalem spermem ⸀sperasa en to so agro? pothen oun echatō zizanieim?The 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?’ 28tos de fēate autoi; Echthros anthrōpos houtem poiata. tois de ⸂doulois auto legalō;⸃ Thelasō oun apercharantois ⸀sulleganeia auteim?‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ 29tos de ⸀fēatō; Ou, mēpote sullegarōntois teim zizanieim ekrizaveia hama autoi ton siton;‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them. 30afiēkavar sunauxanorō amfotereim ⸀mechris tou therismou; kai en kairo tou therismou legami toi theristoi; Sullegavar prōtem teim zizanieim kai davar auteim eis desmain pros tem katakaiara auteim, ton de siton ⸀sunagavar eis tan apothēkan mu.Let 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.’”
31Allosan parabolan paratithata autoi legarōntos; Homoias atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu kokko sinapieu, hon labarantos anthrōpos sperata en to agro autou;He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in his field. 32hem mikroterem men atō panteiu teiu spermeiu, hotan de auxaniteia megoterem teiu lachaneiu atō kai genotō dendrem, hōste erchara teim peteineim tou ouranou kai kataskēnarō en toi kladoi auteu.Although 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.”
33Allosan parabolan lalata autoi; Homoias atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu zuma, han labarantas gunaikas ⸀enkruptata eis aleureu sateim treis heōs hou zumita holem.He 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.”
34Houteim panteim lalata tos Iēsus en parabolai toi ochloi, kai chōris parabolau ⸀oudenem lalate autoi;Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables. He did not tell them anything without using a parable. 35hopōs plēriteia tem legirantem dia tou profētou legarōntou; Anoigami en parabolai tem stomem mu, ereugemi kruptorēnteim apo ⸀katabolau.So 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.”
36Tote afiēkarantos toin ochloin erchata eis tan ⸀oikian. kai proserchala auto tois mathētois autou legarōntois; ⸀Diasafasar ni tan parabolan teiu zizanieiu tou agrou.Then 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.” 37tos de apokrinirantos ⸀legata; Tos sperarōntos tem kalem spermem atō tos huios tou anthrōpou;He replied, “The One who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38tos de agros atō tos kosmos; tem de kalem spermem, houtois alō tois huiois tau basileiau; teim de zizanieim alō tois huiois tou ponērou,The field is the world, and the good seed represents the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39tos de echthros tos sperarantos auteim atō tos diabolos; tos de therismos sunteleias ⸀aiōnou atō, tois de theristois angelois alō.and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40hōsper oun sullegotō teim zizanieim kai pure ⸀kaiotō, houtōs eti en ta sunteleia tou ⸀aiōnou;As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41apostelati tos huios tou anthrōpou toin angeloin autou, kai sullegali ek tau basileiau autou panteim teim skandaleim kai toin poiarōntoin tan anomian,The 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. 42kai balali autoin eis tan kaminosan teu pureu; ekei eti tos klauthmos kai tos brugmos toiu odontoiu.And they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Tote tois dikaiois eklampali hōs tos hēlios en ta basileia tou patrou autoiu. tos echarōntos ⸀oueim akouatōr.Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.
44⸀Homoias atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu thēsauro kruptorēnto en to agro, hon heuriskarantos anthrōpos kruptata, kai apo tau charau autou hupagatō kai ⸂pōlatō panteim hoseim echatō⸃ kai agorazatō ton agron ekeinon.The 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.
45Palin homoias atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu ⸀anthrōpo emporo zētarōnto kaloin margaritoin;Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. 46⸂heuriskarantos de⸃ henon polutimon margariton apercharantos pipraskatē panteim hoseim echate kai agorazata auton.When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
47Palin homoias atō tas basileias toiu ouranoiu sagēna baliranta eis tan thalassan kai ek panteu geneu sunagaranta;Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish. 48han hote plērita anabibazarantois epi ton aigialon kai kathizarantois sullegala teim kaleim eis ⸀angeim, teim de sapreim exō balala.When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away. 49houtōs eti en ta sunteleia tou aiōnou; exercheli tois angelois kai aforizali toin ponēroin ek meseu toiu dikaioiuSo will it be at the end of the age: The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50kai balali autoin eis tan kaminosan teu pureu; ekei eti tos klauthmos kai tos brugmos toiu odontoiu.and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51⸀Suniēkava houteim panteim? legalō auto; ⸀Nai.Have you understood all these things?” “Yes,” they answered. 52tos de legata autoi; Dia houtem pantos grammatevos mathēteuirantos ⸂ta basileia⸃ toiu ouranoiu homoios atō anthrōpo oikodespoto hotinos ekbalatō ek tou thēsaurou autou kaineim kai palaieim.Then 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.” 53kai geneta hote telata tos Iēsus tain parabolain houtain, metairata ekeithen.When Jesus had finished these parables, He withdrew from that place.
54kai ercharantos eis tan patridan autou didaskate autoin en ta sunagōga autoiu, hōste ekplēssorō autoin kai legarō; Pothen houto tas sofias houtas kai tais dunamiais?Coming 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. 55ouk houtos atō tos tou tektonou huios? ⸀ouk tas mētēras autou legotō Mariam kai tois adelfois autou Iakōbos kai ⸀Iōsēf kai Simōnos kai Ioudos?“Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? 56kai tais adelfais autou ouchi pantais pros nin alō? pothen oun houto houteim panteim?Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57kai skandalizole en auto. tos de Iēsus legata autoi; Ouk atō profētos atimos ei mē en ta ⸀patrida kai en ta oikia autou.And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own household is a prophet without honor.” 58kai ouk poiata ekei dunamiain pollain dia tan apistian autoiu.And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
