YLT
Young's Literal Translation
The
same
day went
Jesus out
of
the house, and
sat
by the sea side.
And
in
that
day Jesus ,
having
gone
forth
from
the house, was
sitting
by the sea ,
And great
multitudes
were
gathered together unto him, so that he went
into a
ship
, and sat;
and
the whole
multitude 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 spake many things unto
them
in parables
, saying ,
Behold
, a
sower went forth to sow ;
and he spake to
them
many things in similes
, saying :
`Lo
, the
sower went forth to sow ,
And when
he
sowed
, some seeds
fell by the way side
, and the fowls came
and devoured
them up:
and in
his
sowing
, some indeed
fell by the way, and the fowls did
come
and devour
them ,
Some
fell upon stony
places, where they had not much earth :
and forthwith
they sprung
up
, because
they
had
no
deepness
of earth :
and
others
fell upon the
rocky
places, where they had not much earth ,
and immediately
they sprang
forth
, through
not
having
depth
of earth ,
And when
the sun was
up,
they were scorched ;
and because
they
had
no
root, they withered away.
and the sun having
risen
they were scorched ,
and through
not
having
root, they withered ,
And some
fell among
thorns ;
and the thorns sprung
up ,
and choked
them :
and others
fell upon
the
thorns ,
and the thorns did
come
up and choke
them ,
But
other
fell into
good ground, and brought
forth
fruit, some an
hundredfold, some sixtyfold
, some thirtyfold
.
and
others
fell upon
the
good ground, and were
giving
fruit, some indeed
a
hundredfold, and
some sixty
, and
some thirty
.
Who hath
ears to hear ,
let him hear.
He
who is
having
ears to hear --
let him hear. '
And the disciples came
, and
said unto
him, Why
speakest
thou unto
them in
parables
?
And the disciples having
come
near
, said to
him, `Wherefore
in
similes
dost
thou speak
to
them? '
He
answered
and said unto
them ,
Because
it is
given unto
you
to know the mysteries
of the kingdom
of heaven
, but
to them
it is
not given .
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 ,
For whosoever
hath, to
him
shall be given, and he shall have more
abundance:
but
whosoever
hath not, from
him
shall
be
taken
away
even that he hath.
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
.
Therefore
speak
I to them in
parables:
because they
seeing see
not ;
and hearing they hear
not, neither
do
they
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 ,
And in
them is fulfilled
the prophecy of Esaias
, which
saith, By
hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand ;
and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive :
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
is
waxed
gross, and their
ears are
dull
of
hearing
, and their eyes they have
closed;
lest at
any
time
they should
see with their
eyes and hear
with their
ears, and should
understand
with their
heart, and should
be
converted
, and I should
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 ,
for
they see :
and your ears ,
for
they hear .
`And
happy
are your eyes because
they see ,
and your ears because
they hear ,
For verily I say unto
you, That many prophets and righteous men have
desired
to see those
things
which ye see
, and have
not seen
them;
and to hear those
things
which ye hear, and have
not heard
them
.
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
.
Hear
ye therefore the parable
of the sower .
`
Ye ,
therefore ,
hear
ye
the simile
of the sower :
When
any
one heareth
the word of the kingdom
, and understandeth
it
not ,
then
cometh
the wicked
one, and catcheth
away
that which was
sown in his heart .
This is he
which
received
seed
by the way side
.
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.
But
he
that received
the seed
into
stony
places, the
same
is he that
heareth
the word, and anon
with joy receiveth
it ;
`And
that sown
on
the rocky
places, this
is he who
is
hearing
the word, and immediately
with joy is
receiving
it ,
Yet
hath
he not root in himself, but dureth
for
a
while:
for
when
tribulation
or
persecution ariseth
because of the word, by
and
by
he is offended
.
and
he hath
not root in himself, but is
temporary,
and
persecution or
tribulation
having
happened
because of the word, immediately
he is stumbled
.
He
also
that received
seed
among
the thorns is he that
heareth
the word ;
and the care
of this world
, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he
becometh 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
he
that received
seed
into
the good ground is he that
heareth
the word, and understandeth
it;
which
also
beareth
fruit, and bringeth
forth
, some an
hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
`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. '
Another parable
put
he forth
unto
them, saying ,
The kingdom
of heaven
is
likened unto
a man which
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 men slept
, his enemy came and sowed tares
among
the wheat, and went his
way.
and,
while men are
sleeping
, his enemy came and sowed darnel
in
the midst
of
the
wheat, and went away,
But
when the blade
was
sprung
up, and brought
forth
fruit, then appeared the
tares
also.
and
when the herb
sprang
up, and yielded
fruit, then appeared also the
darnel
.
So
the servants of the householder came
and
said unto
him, Sir, didst not
thou sow good
seed
in thy field? from
whence then hath it tares
?
`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
?
He said
unto
them, An enemy hath
done
this .
The servants said unto
him, Wilt thou then that we go
and
gather 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?
But
he said, Nay;
lest while
ye
gather
up the tares,
ye root up also
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 :
and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye
together
first the tares
, and bind them
in bundles to burn them:
but
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
. '
Another parable
put
he forth
unto
them, saying ,
The kingdom
of heaven
is like to a grain of mustard seed
, which a man took
, and
sowed
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 ,
Which indeed is the
least
of
all seeds :
but when it is
grown, it
is the
greatest among
herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air
come and lodge
in the
branches thereof
.
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. '
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 the whole 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. '
All these things spake Jesus unto
the
multitude
in parables;
and without a parable
spake
he not unto
them :
All these things spake Jesus in similes
to
the
multitudes,
and without a simile
he was
not speaking
to
them ,
That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by
the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in
parables;
I will utter things which
have
been kept
secret
from 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
sent
the
multitude
away, and
went
into
the house :
and his disciples came unto
him, saying, Declare
unto
us the parable
of the tares
of 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
answered
and said unto
them, He that
soweth
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 ;
the good seed are the children
of the kingdom;
but
the tares
are the children
of the wicked
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 ,
The enemy that
sowed them is the devil ;
the harvest is the
end of the world;
and the reapers are the
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 therefore
the tares
are
gathered and burned in
the
fire ;
so shall it be in the end of this world.
`
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 shall send forth his angels
, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things
that
offend
, and them
which
do
iniquity;
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 shall cast them into
a
furnace of fire :
there shall be wailing
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 shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
of their Father. Who hath
ears to hear ,
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.
Again, the kingdom
of heaven
is like unto
treasure hid in a
field;
the which when
a man hath
found ,
he
hideth
, and for
joy thereof
goeth and selleth
all that
he hath, and buyeth 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 unto
a merchant
man, seeking goodly pearls :
`
Again, the reign
of the
heavens
is like to
a man, a
merchant,
seeking goodly pearls ,
Who ,
when
he
had
found one pearl of great price, went
and
sold all that
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.
Again, the kingdom
of heaven
is like unto
a net ,
that was cast into the sea, and gathered
of every kind :
`
Again, the reign
of the
heavens
is like to
a net that was cast into the sea, and did
gather
together
of every kind ,
Which, when it was full
, they
drew
to
shore
, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but
cast
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 shall it be at
the end of the world:
the angels
shall come forth ,
and sever
the wicked
from
among
the just
,
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 shall cast them into
the furnace of fire :
there shall be wailing
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. '
Jesus saith unto
them, Have
ye understood
all these things
? They say unto
him, Yea
, Lord
.
Jesus saith to
them, `Did
ye understand
all these? '
They say to
him, `Yes
, sir
. '
Then
said
he unto
them, Therefore
every scribe which
is
instructed
unto
the kingdom
of heaven
is like unto
a man that
is
an
householder, which
bringeth
forth out of his treasure things new and 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. '
And it came to pass, that
when Jesus had
finished these parables
, he departed
thence .
And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these similes
, he removed
thence ,
And when
he
was
come 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?
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?
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary ?
and his brethren ,
James, and Joses, and 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?
And his sisters ,
are they not all with us? Whence then hath
this man
all these things
?
and his sisters --
are they not all with us? whence ,
then ,
to
this one
all these? '
And they were offended
in
him. But
Jesus said unto
them, A prophet is not without honour,
save
in his own country, and in his own house .
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 many mighty works there
because of their unbelief.
and he did not there
many mighty works ,
because of their unbelief.
