13:1

Εν τη ημερα εκεινη εξελθων ο Ιησους της οικιας εκαθητο παρα την θαλασσαν

On that day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

13:2

και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον οχλοι πολλοι ωστε αυτον εις πλοιον εμβαντα καθησθαι και πας ο οχλος επι τον αιγιαλον ειστηκει

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.

13:3

Και ελαλησεν αυτοις πολλα εν παραβολαις λεγων Ιδου εξηλθεν ο σπειρων του σπειρειν

And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow;

13:4

και εν τω σπειρειν αυτον α μεν επεσεν παρα την οδον και ελθοντα τα πετεινα κατεφαγεν αυτα

and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them:

13:5

Αλλα δε επεσεν επι τα πετρωδη οπου ουκ ειχεν γην πολλην και ευθεως εξανετειλεν δια το μη εχειν βαθος γης

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:

13:6

ηλιου δε ανατειλαντος εκαυματισθη και δια το μη εχειν ριζαν εξηρανθη

and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

13:7

Αλλα δε επεσεν επι τας ακανθας και ανεβησαν αι ακανθαι και επνιξαν αυτα

And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:

13:8

Αλλα δε επεσεν επι την γην την καλην και εδιδου καρπον ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα

and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

13:9

Ο εχων ωτα ακουετω

He that hath ears, let him hear.

13:10

Και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται ειπαν αυτω Δια τι εν παραβολαις λαλεις αυτοις

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

13:11

Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις Οτι Υμιν δεδοται γνωναι τα μυστηρια της βασιλειας των ουρανων εκεινοις δε ου δεδοται

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.

13:12

οστις γαρ εχει δοθησεται αυτω και περισσευθησεται οστις δε ουκ εχει και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου

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.

13:13

δια τουτο εν παραβολαις αυτοις λαλω Οτι βλεποντες ου βλεπουσιν Και ακουοντες ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε συνιουσιν

Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

¹

13:14

Και αναπληρουται αυτοις η προφητεια Ησαιου η λεγουσα Ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε Και βλεποντες βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε

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:

13:15

Επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου Και τοις ωσιν βαρεως ηκουσαν Και τους οφθαλμους αυτων εκαμμυσαν Μηποτε ιδωσιν τοις οφθαλμοις Και τοις ωσιν ακουσωσιν Και τη καρδια συνωσιν Και επιστρεψωσιν Και ιασομαι αυτους

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.

13:16

Υμων δε μακαριοι οι οφθαλμοι οτι βλεπουσιν και τα ωτα υμων οτι ακουουσιν

But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

13:17

αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν οτι πολλοι προφηται και δικαιοι επεθυμησαν ιδειν α βλεπετε και ουκ ειδαν και ακουσαι α ακουετε και ουκ ηκουσαν

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.

13:18

Υμεις ουν ακουσατε την παραβολην του σπειραντος

Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

13:19

Παντος ακουοντος τον λογον της βασιλειας και μη συνιεντος ερχεται ο πονηρος και αρπαζει το εσπαρμενον εν τη καρδια αυτου ουτος εστιν ο παρα την οδον σπαρεις

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.

13:20

Ο δε επι τα πετρωδη σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και ευθυς μετα χαρας λαμβανων αυτον

And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;

13:21

ουκ εχει δε ριζαν εν εαυτω αλλα προσκαιρος εστιν γενομενης δε θλιψεως η διωγμου δια τον λογον ευθυς σκανδαλιζεται

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.

13:22

Ο δε εις τας ακανθας σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και η μεριμνα του αιωνος και η απατη του πλουτου συμπνιγει τον λογον και ακαρπος γινεται

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.

13:23

Ο δε επι την καλην γην σπαρεις ουτος εστιν ο τον λογον ακουων και συνιεις ος δη καρποφορει και ποιει ο μεν εκατον ο δε εξηκοντα ο δε τριακοντα

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.

13:24

Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοις λεγων Ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω σπειραντι καλον σπερμα εν τω αγρω αυτου

Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man that sowed good seed in his field:

13:25

εν δε τω καθευδειν τους ανθρωπους ηλθεν αυτου ο εχθρος και επεσπειρεν ζιζανια ανα μεσον του σιτου και απηλθεν

but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares also among the wheat, and went away.

13:26

οτε δε εβλαστησεν ο χορτος και καρπον εποιησεν τοτε εφανη και τα ζιζανια

But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

13:27

Προσελθοντες δε οι δουλοι του οικοδεσποτου ειπον αυτω Κυριε ουχι καλον σπερμα εσπειρας εν τω σω αγρω ποθεν ουν εχει ζιζανια

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?

13:28

Ο δε εφη αυτοις Εχθρος ανθρωπος τουτο εποιησεν Οι δε δουλοι λεγουσιν αυτω Θελεις ουν απελθοντες συλλεξωμεν αυτα

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?

13:29

Ο δε φησιν Ου μηποτε συλλεγοντες τα ζιζανια εκριζωσητε αμα αυτοις τον σιτον

But he saith, Nay; lest haply while ye gather up the tares, ye root up the wheat with them.

13:30

αφετε συναυξανεσθαι αμφοτερα εως του θερισμου και εν καιρω του θερισμου ερω τοις θερισταις Συλλεξατε πρωτον τα ζιζανια και δησατε αυτα εις δεσμας προς το κατακαυσαι αυτα τον δε σιτον συναγαγετε εις την αποθηκην μου

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.

13:31

Αλλην παραβολην παρεθηκεν αυτοις λεγων Ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων κοκκω σιναπεως ον λαβων ανθρωπος εσπειρεν εν τω αγρω αυτου

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:

13:32

ο μικροτερον μεν εστιν παντων των σπερματων οταν δε αυξηθη μειζον των λαχανων εστιν και γινεται δενδρον ωστε ελθειν τα πετεινα του ουρανου και κατασκηνουν εν τοις κλαδοις αυτου

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.

13:33

Αλλην παραβολην ελαλησεν αυτοις Ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ζυμη ην λαβουσα γυνη ενεκρυψεν εις αλευρου σατα τρια εως ου εζυμωθη ολον

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.

13:34

Ταυτα παντα ελαλησεν ο Ιησους εν παραβολαις τοις οχλοις και χωρις παραβολης ουδεν ελαλει αυτοις

All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:

13:35

οπως πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντος Ανοιξω εν παραβολαις το στομα μου ερευξομαι κεκρυμμενα απο καταβολης κοσμου

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.

13:36

Τοτε αφεις τους οχλους ηλθεν εις την οικιαν Και προσηλθον αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου λεγοντες Διασαφησον ημιν την παραβολην των ζιζανιων του αγρου

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.

13:37

Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν Ο σπειρων το καλον σπερμα εστιν ο Υιος του ανθρωπου

And he answered and said, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

13:38

ο δε αγρος εστιν ο κοσμος το δε καλον σπερμα ουτοι εισιν οι υιοι της βασιλειας τα δε ζιζανια εισιν οι υιοι του πονηρου

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;

13:39

ο δε εχθρος ο σπειρας αυτα εστιν ο διαβολος ο δε θερισμος συντελεια αιωνος εστιν οι δε θερισται αγγελοι εισιν

and the enemy that sowed them is the devil: and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels.

13:40

Ωσπερ ουν συλλεγεται τα ζιζανια και πυρι κατακαιεται ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος

As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world.

13:41

αποστελει ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τους αγγελους αυτου και συλλεξουσιν εκ της βασιλειας αυτου παντα τα σκανδαλα και τους ποιουντας την ανομιαν

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,

13:42

και βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων

and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

13:43

τοτε οι δικαιοι εκλαμψουσιν ως ο ηλιος εν τη βασιλεια του Πατρος αυτων Ο εχων ωτα ακουετω

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.

13:44

Ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων θησαυρω κεκρυμμενω εν τω αγρω ον ευρων ανθρωπος εκρυψεν και απο της χαρας αυτου υπαγει και πωλει παντα οσα εχει και αγοραζει τον αγρον εκεινον

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.

13:45

Παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω εμπορω ζητουντι καλους μαργαριτας

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls:

13:46

ευρων δε ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον

and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

13:47

Παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων σαγηνη βληθειση εις την θαλασσαν και εκ παντος γενους συναγαγουση

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

13:48

ην οτε επληρωθη αναβιβασαντες επι τον αιγιαλον και καθισαντες συνελεξαν τα καλα εις αγγη τα δε σαπρα εξω εβαλον

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.

13:49

Ουτως εσται εν τη συντελεια του αιωνος εξελευσονται οι αγγελοι και αφοριουσιν τους πονηρους εκ μεσου των δικαιων

So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous,

13:50

και βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων

and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

13:51

Συνηκατε ταυτα παντα Λεγουσιν αυτω Ναι

Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea.

13:52

Ο δε ειπεν αυτοις Δια τουτο πας γραμματευς μαθητευθεις τη βασιλεια των ουρανων ομοιος εστιν ανθρωπω οικοδεσποτη οστις εκβαλλει εκ του θησαυρου αυτου καινα και παλαια

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.

13:53

Και εγενετο οτε ετελεσεν ο Ιησους τας παραβολας ταυτας μετηρεν εκειθεν

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.

13:54

και ελθων εις την πατριδα αυτου εδιδασκεν αυτους εν τη συναγωγη αυτων ωστε εκπλησσεσθαι αυτους και λεγειν Ποθεν τουτω η σοφια αυτη και αι δυναμεις

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?

13:55

ουχ ουτος εστιν ο του τεκτονος υιος ουχ η μητηρ αυτου λεγεται Μαριαμ και οι αδελφοι αυτου Ιακωβος και Ιωσηφ και Σιμων και Ιουδας

Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

13:56

και αι αδελφαι αυτου ουχι πασαι προς ημας εισιν ποθεν ουν τουτω ταυτα παντα

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

13:57

και εσκανδαλιζοντο εν αυτω Ο δε Ιησους ειπεν αυτοις Ουκ εστιν προφητης ατιμος ει μη εν τη πατριδι και εν τη οικια αυτου

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.

13:58

και ουκ εποιησεν εκει δυναμεις πολλας δια την απιστιαν αυτων

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
