Young's Literal Translation
That same
day Jesus went
out
of
the house and
sat
by the sea .
And
in
that day Jesus ,
having
gone
forth
from
the house ,
was
sitting
by the sea ,
Such
large
crowds
gathered around
Him that He got
into a
boat and
sat
down, while
all the people
stood
on the shore.
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,
And He told
them many things in parables
, saying, “A
farmer
went out
to sow his
seed.
and he spake
to
them many things in similes
, saying :
`Lo
, the
sower
went forth
to sow ,
And as
he
was
sowing, some seed
fell along
the path
, and the birds
came
and devoured
it.
and in
his
sowing, some indeed
fell by
the way
, and the fowls
did
come
and devour
them,
Some
fell on
rocky ground
, where it
did
not have
much soil.
It
sprang up
quickly
because
the
soil
was
shallow.
and
others
fell upon
the
rocky places
, where they
had
not much earth,
and
immediately
they
sprang forth,
through
not
having
depth
of
earth,
But
when
the sun rose,
the
seedlings
were scorched, and they withered because
they
had
no
root.
and
the sun having
risen
they
were scorched, and through
not
having
root,
they withered ,
Other
seed
fell among
thorns, which
grew
up
and choked
the seedlings.
and
others
fell upon
the
thorns, and the thorns
did
come
up
and
choke
them,
Still
other
seed
fell on
good soil
and produced
a
crop—
a hundredfold, sixtyfold
, or
thirtyfold
.
and
others
fell upon
the
good ground,
and were
giving
fruit,
some
indeed
a hundredfold, and
some
sixty
, and
some
thirty
.
He who has
ears ,
let him hear. ”
He who is
having
ears to
hear
--
let him hear. '
Then
the disciples came
to Jesus
and
asked
, “Why
do
You
speak to the
people
in
parables
? ”
And
the disciples having
come
near,
said
to him
, `Wherefore
in
similes
dost
thou
speak to them
? '
He replied,
“
The knowledge
of the mysteries
of the kingdom
of
heaven
has
been given to
you
, but
not
to
them.
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,
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.
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.
This is
why
I speak to them in
parables:
‘Though
seeing
, they do not see ;
though
hearing
, they do not hear or
understand .’
`Because
of
this ,
in
similes
do
I speak to them, because
seeing
they do not see, and
hearing
they do not hear ,
nor
understand ,
In
them the prophecy of Isaiah is
fulfilled:
‘You
will
be
ever
hearing but
never
understanding;
you
will
be
ever
seeing but
never
perceiving.
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,
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. ’
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.
But
blessed
are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear .
`And
happy
are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear ,
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
.
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.
Consider
, then
, the parable
of the sower:
`Ye
, therefore
, hear
ye
the simile
of the sower:
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
.
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
.
The
seed
sown on rocky ground
is the
one
who hears
the word and at
once
receives
it
with joy .
`And
that
sown on the
rocky places,
this
is he
who is
hearing
the word ,
and immediately
with joy is
receiving
it,
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
.
and
he hath
not
root in
himself
, but
is
temporary,
and
persecution or
tribulation
having
happened
because of the word, immediately
he is
stumbled
.
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.
`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.
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
. ”
`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
. '
Jesus
put
before them another
parable
: “
The kingdom
of heaven
is
like
a man who
sowed
good seed in his field .
Another
simile
he
set
before them ,
saying
: `
The reign
of the
heavens
was
likened
to
a man sowing
good seed in his field ,
But
while everyone
was
asleep
, his enemy came and sowed weeds
among
the wheat, and slipped
away .
and,
while men
are
sleeping
, his enemy came and sowed darnel
in
the midst
of
the
wheat, and went
away ,
When the wheat
sprouted
and bore
grain
, then the
weeds
also
appeared.
and
when the herb
sprang
up,
and yielded
fruit
, then appeared also
the
darnel
.
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
? ’
`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
?
‘
An enemy did this ,’
he
replied.
So
the servants asked
him, ‘Do
you
want
us
to
go
and
pull
them
up? ’
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?
‘No,’
he said, ‘if
you
pull
the
weeds
now
, you
might
uproot
the wheat
with them.
`And
he said, No
, lest
--
gathering
up
the darnel
--
ye
root
up
with it
the
wheat,
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
. ’”
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
. '
He put
before them another
parable
: “
The kingdom
of heaven
is like a mustard seed
that
a man planted
in his field .
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 ,
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. ”
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. '
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. ”
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. '
Jesus
spoke
all these things to the crowds
in
parables.
He did
not tell
them anything
without
using
a
parable.
All these things spake
Jesus
in
similes
to the multitudes,
and
without
a
simile
he was
not speaking
to
them ,
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. ”
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. '
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. ”
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. '
He replied
, “The
One
who sows
the good seed is the Son of Man .
And
he answering
said
to
them
, `He
who is
sowing
the good seed is the Son of Man ,
The field is the world, and the good seed represents
the sons of the kingdom.
The weeds
are the sons of the evil one,
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,
and the enemy who sows
them is the devil .
The harvest is the
end of the age, and the harvesters
are angels
.
and the enemy who sowed
them is the devil ,
and
the harvest is a
full
end of the age, and the reapers
are messengers
.
As the weeds
are
collected
and burned in
the
fire, so will
it be at
the end of the
age .
`
As ,
then,
the darnel
is
gathered
up,
and is
burned with
fire, so shall
it be in
the full
end of this
age ,
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.
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,
And they
will
throw
them into
the fiery
furnace ,
where
there will
be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and shall
cast
them to
the furnace of
the
fire;
there shall
be the
weeping and the
gnashing of the
teeth.
Then the righteous will
shine like
the sun in the kingdom
of their Father. He who has
ears ,
let him hear.
`
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.
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.
`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.
Again, the kingdom
of heaven
is like a merchant in
search
of
fine
pearls .
`
Again, the reign
of the
heavens
is like to
a man,
a
merchant ,
seeking
goodly
pearls ,
When
he
found one very
precious
pearl, he
went
away and
sold all he had and bought it.
who
having
found one pearl of
great
price
, having
gone
away ,
hath
sold all ,
as
much
as
he had ,
and bought it.
Once
again, the kingdom
of heaven
is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught
all
kinds
of fish.
`
Again, the reign
of the
heavens
is like to
a net that was cast into the sea ,
and did
gather
together
of every
kind,
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.
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,
So will
it be at
the end of the age :
The angels
will
come and separate the wicked
from
the righteous,
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,
and throw
them into
the fiery
furnace, where
there will
be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
and shall
cast
them to
the furnace of
the
fire
, there shall
be the
weeping and the
gnashing of the
teeth. '
Have
you
understood
all these things
? ”
“
Yes, ”
they
answered
.
Jesus
saith
to
them,
`Did
ye
understand
all these? '
They
say
to
him,
`
Yes, sir
. '
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. ”
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. '
When Jesus had
finished these parables
, He withdrew
from
that
place.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when Jesus finished these similes
, he removed
thence,
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.
and
having
come
to his own
country
, he was
teaching
them
in their synagogue, so
that
they were astonished ,
and
were
saying,
`Whence
to
this one
this
wisdom and the
mighty
works
?
“Isn’t
this the carpenter’s
son? Isn’t
His mother’s
name
Mary, and aren’t
His brothers
James, Joseph
, Simon, and Judas?
is
not
this the carpenter's
son? is
not
his mother
called
Mary, and his brethren
James, and
Joses
, and
Simon, and Judas?
Aren’t
all
His sisters with us as
well
? Where
then did
this man
get
all these things
? ”
and
his sisters --
are
they
not
all
with us? whence,
then ,
to
this one
all these? '
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.”
and they were
stumbled
at him. And
Jesus said to them, `A
prophet
is
not
without
honor
except
in his own
country,
and in his own house:'
And He did not do
many
miracles
there, because of their unbelief.
and he did not there many
mighty
works
, because of their unbelief.
