13 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ Matthew Reference
1Ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐξελθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῆς οἰκίας ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν· That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.The Parable of the Sower Mt.13.1-9 | Mk.4.1-9 | Lk.8.4-8
2καὶ συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὀχλοι πολλοί, ὡστε αὐτὸν εἰς πλοῖον ἐμβάντα καθῆσθαι, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὀχλος ἐπὶ τὸν αἰγιαλὸν εἱστήκει. And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the beach. 
3καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς πολλὰ ἐν παραβολαῖς λέγων, Ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ σπείρων τοῦ σπείρειν. And he told them many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.  
4καὶ ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν ἂ μὲν ἐπεσεν παρὰ τὴν ὁδόν, καὶ ἐλθόντα τὰ πετεινὰ κατέφαγεν αὐτά. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.  Mt.13.4-50
5ἀλλα δὲ ἐπεσεν ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη ὁπου οὐκ εἶχεν γῆν πολλήν, καὶ εὐθέως ἐξανέτειλεν διὰ τὸ μὴ ἐχειν βάθος γῆς. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil,  
6ἡλίου δὲ ἀνατείλαντος ἐκαυματίσθη καὶ διὰ τὸ μὴ ἐχειν ῥίζαν ἐξηράνθη. but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.  
7ἀλλα δὲ ἐπεσεν ἐπὶ τὰς ἀκάνθας, καὶ ἀνέβησαν αἱ ἀκανθαι καὶ ἐπνιξαν αὐτά. Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.  
8ἀλλα δὲ ἐπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τὴν καλὴν καὶ ἐδίδου καρπόν, ὃ μὲν ἑκατόν, ὃ δὲ ἑξήκοντα, ὃ δὲ τριάκοντα. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.  
9ὁ ἐχων ὦτα ἀκουέτω. He who has ears, let him hear." 
10Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ μαθηταὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Διὰ τί ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖς αὐτοῖς; Then the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" The Purpose of the Parables Mt.13.10-17 | Mk.4.10-12 | Lk.8.9-10
11ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι Ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τὰ μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἐκείνοις δὲ οὐ δέδοται. And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.  
12ὁστις γὰρ ἐχει, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ καὶ περισσευθήσεται· ὁστις δὲ οὐκ ἐχει, καὶ ὃ ἐχει ἀρθήσεται ἀπ' αὐτοῦ. For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.  
13διὰ τοῦτο ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λαλῶ, ὅτι βλέποντες οὐ βλέπουσιν καὶ ἀκούοντες οὐκ ἀκούουσιν οὐδὲ συνίουσιν· This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.  
14καὶ ἀναπληροῦται αὐτοῖς ἡ προφητεία Ἠσαΐου ἡ λέγουσα,
    ἀκοῇ ἀκούσετε καὶ οὐ μὴ συνῆτε,
    καὶ βλέποντες βλέψετε καὶ οὐ μὴ ἴδητε.
With them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says:
    'You shall indeed hear but never understand,
    and you shall indeed see but never perceive.
- You shall indeed hear but never understand Mt.13.14-15 | Is.6.9-10 | Ez.12.2

15ἐπαχύνθη γὰρ ἡ καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου,
καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶν βαρέως ἤκουσαν,
καὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν ἐκάμμυσαν:
μήποτε ἴδωσιν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς
καὶ τοῖς ὠσὶν ἀκούσωσιν
καὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ συνῶσιν καὶ ἐπιστρέψωσιν,
καὶ ἰάσομαι αὐτούς.
For this people's heart has grown dull,
and their ears are heavy of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed,
lest they should perceive with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their heart,
and turn for me to heal them.'
 
16ὑμῶν δὲ μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὅτι βλέπουσιν, καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν ὅτι ἀκούουσιν. But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.  
17ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ δίκαιοι ἐπεθύμησαν ἰδεῖν ἂ βλέπετε καὶ οὐκ εἶδαν, καὶ ἀκοῦσαι ἂ ἀκούετε καὶ οὐκ ἠκουσαν. Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. 
18Ὑμεῖς οὖν ἀκούσατε τὴν παραβολὴν τοῦ σπείραντος. "Hear then the parable of the sower.The Parable of the Sower Explained Mt.13.18-23 | Mk.4.13-20 | Lk.8.11-13
 top
19παντὸς ἀκούοντος τὸν λόγον τῆς βασιλείας καὶ μὴ συνιέντος, ἐρχεται ὁ πονηρὸς καὶ ἀρπάζει τὸ ἐσπαρμένον ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν σπαρείς. When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path.  
20ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ εὐθὺς μετὰ χαρᾶς λαμβάνων αὐτόν· As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;  
21οὐκ ἐχει δὲ ῥίζαν ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἀλλὰ πρόσκαιρός ἐστιν, γενομένης δὲ θλίψεως ἢ διωγμοῦ διὰ τὸν λόγον εὐθὺς σκανδαλίζεται. yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.  
22ὁ δὲ εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ ἡ μέριμνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ἀπάτη τοῦ πλούτου συμπνίγει τὸν λόγον, καὶ ἀκαρπος γίνεται. As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 
23ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τὴν καλὴν γῆν σπαρείς, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τὸν λόγον ἀκούων καὶ συνιείς, ὃς δὴ καρποφορεῖ καὶ ποιεῖ ὃ μὲν ἑκατόν, ὃ δὲ ἑξήκοντα, ὃ δὲ τριάκοντα. As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."  
24Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, Ὡμοιώθη ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ σπείραντι καλὸν σπέρμα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ. Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field; The Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat Mt.13.24-30
 top
25ἐν δὲ τῷ καθεύδειν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἦλθεν αὐτοῦ ὁ ἐχθρὸς καὶ ἐπέσπειρεν ζιζάνια ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σίτου καὶ ἀπῆλθεν. but while men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 
26ὅτε δὲ ἐβλάστησεν ὁ χόρτος καὶ καρπὸν ἐποίησεν, τότε ἐφάνη καὶ τὰ ζιζάνια. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also. 
27προσελθόντες δὲ οἱ δοῦλοι τοῦ οἰκοδεσπότου εἶπον αὐτῷ, Κύριε, οὐχὶ καλὸν σπέρμα ἐσπειρας ἐν τῷ σῷ ἀγρῷ; πόθεν οὖν ἐχει ζιζάνιὰ; And the servants of the householder came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then has it weeds?'  
28ὁ δὲ ἐφη αὐτοῖς, Ἐχθρὸς ἄνθρωπος τοῦτο ἐποίησεν. οἱ δὲ δοῦλοι λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Θέλεις οὖν ἀπελθόντες συλλέξωμεν αὐτά; He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?'  
29ὁ δέ φησιν, Οὄ, μήποτε συλλέγοντες τὰ ζιζάνια ἐκριζώσητε ἀμα αὐτοῖς τὸν σῖτον. But he said, 'No; lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them.  
30ἀφετε συναυξάνεσθαι ἀμφότερα ἑως τοῦ θερισμοῦ· καὶ ἐν καιρῷ τοῦ θερισμοῦ ἐρῶ τοῖς θερισταῖς, Συλλέξατε πρῶτον τὰ ζιζάνια καὶ δήσατε αὐτὰ εἰς δέσμας πρὸς τὸ κατακαῦσαι αὐτά, τὸν δὲ σῖτον συναγάγετε εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην μου. Let both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'"  
31Ἄλλην παραβολὴν παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς λέγων, Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἐσπειρεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ· Another parable he put before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven Mt.13.31-33 | Mk.4.31-32 | Lk.13.18-21
 top
32ὃ μικρότερον μέν ἐστιν πάντων τῶν σπερμάτων, ὁταν δὲ αὐξηθῇ μεῖζον τῶν λαχάνων ἐστὶν καὶ γίνεται δένδρον, ὡστε ἐλθεῖν τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατασκηνοῦν ἐν τοῖς κλα δοις αὐτοῦ. it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches."  
33Ἄλλην παραβολὴν ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς· Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα γυνὴ ἐνέκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία ἑως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὁλον. He told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened."  
34Ταῦτα πάντα ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν παραβολαῖς τοῖς ὀχλοις, καὶ χωρὶς παραβολῆς οὐδὲν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς· All this Jesus said to the crowds in parables; indeed he said nothing to them without a parable. The Use of the Parables Mt.13.34-35 | Mk.4.33-34
 top
35ὁπως πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος,
    Ἀνοίξω ἐν παραβολαῖς τὸ στόμα μου,
    ἐρεύξομαι κεκρυμμένα ἀπὸ
    καταβολῆς [κόσμου].
This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet:
    "I will open my mouth in parables,
    I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world."
- I will open my mouth in parables Mt.13.35 | Ps.78.2

36Τότε ἀφεὶς τοὺς ὀχλους ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν. καὶ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες, Διασάφησον ἡμῖν τὴν παραβολὴν τῶν ζιζανίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ. Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." The Parable of the Weeds Explained Mt.13.36-43
 top
37ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Ὁ σπείρων τὸ καλὸν σπέρμα ἐστὶν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου· He answered, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;  
38ὁ δὲ ἀγρός ἐστιν ὁ κόσμος· τὸ δὲ καλὸν σπέρμα, οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς βασιλείας· τὰ δὲ ζιζάνιά εἰσιν οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ πονηροῦ, the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one,  
39ὁ δὲ ἐχθρὸς ὁ σπείρας αὐτά ἐστιν ὁ διάβολος· ὁ δὲ θερισμὸς συντέλεια αἰῶνός ἐστιν, οἱ δὲ θερισταὶ ἀγγελοί εἰσιν. and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.  
40ὡσπερ οὖν συλλέγεται τὰ ζιζάνια καὶ πυρὶ καίεται, οὑτως ἐσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος· Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age.  
41ἀποστελεῖ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ, καὶ συλλέξουσιν ἐκ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ πάντα τὰ σκάνδαλα καὶ τοὺς ποιοῦντας τὴν ἀνομίαν, The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers,  
42καὶ βαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν κάμινον τοῦ πυρός· ἐκεῖ ἐσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.  
43Τότε οἱ δίκαιοι ἐκλάμψουσιν ὡς ὁ ἡλιος ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν. ὁ ἐχων ὦτα ἀκουέτω. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.  
44Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν θησαυρῷ κεκρυμμένῳ ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ, ὃν εὑρὼν ἄνθρωπος ἐκρυψεν, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτοῦ ὑπάγει καὶ πωλεῖ πάντα ὁσα ἐχει καὶ ἀγορα ζει τὸν ἀγρὸν ἐκεῖνον. "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Three Parables Mt.13.44-50

45Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ ἐμπόρῳ ζητοῦντι καλοὺς μαργαρίτας· "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 
46εὑρὼν δὲ ἑνα πολύτιμον μαργαρίτην ἀπελθὼν πέπρακεν πάντα ὁσα εἶχεν καὶ ἠγόρασεν αὐτόν. who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. 
47Πάλιν ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν σαγήνῃ βληθείσῃ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἐκ παντὸς γένους συναγαγούσῃ· "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; 
48ἣν ὅτε ἐπληρώθη ἀναβιβάσαντες ἐπὶ τὸν αἰγιαλὸν καὶ καθίσαντες συνέλεξαν τὰ καλὰ εἰς ἀγγη, τὰ δὲ σαπρὰ ἐξω ἐβαλον. when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad. 
49οὑτως ἐσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος· ἐξελεύσονται οἱ ἀγγελοι καὶ ἀφοριοῦσιν τοὺς πονηροὺς ἐκ μέσου τῶν δικαίων So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,  
50καὶ βαλοῦσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν κάμινον τοῦ πυρός· ἐκεῖ ἐσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων. and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.  
51Συνήκατε ταῦτα πάντὰ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, ναί. "Have you understood all this?" They said to him, "Yes." Treasure Old and New Mt.13.51-52

52ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Διὰ τοῦτο πᾶς γραμματεὺς μαθητευθεὶς τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν ὁμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδεσπότῃ ὁστις ἐκβάλλει ἐκ τοῦ θησαυροῦ αὐτοῦ καινὰ καὶ παλα ιά. And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."  
53Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὰς παραβολὰς ταύτας, μετῆρεν ἐκεῖθεν. And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth Mt.13.53-58 | Mk.6.1-6 | Lk.4.16-30

54καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὴν πατρίδα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν, ὡστε ἐκπλήσσεσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ λέγειν, Πόθεν τούτῳ ἡ σοφία αὑτη καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις; and coming to his own country he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 
55οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τοῦ τέκτονος υἱός; οὐχ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ λέγεται Μαριὰμ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰάκωβος καὶ Ἰωσὴφ καὶ Σίμων καὶ Ἰούδας; Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?  
56καὶ αἱ ἀδελφαὶ αὐτοῦ οὐχὶ πᾶσαι πρὸς ἡμᾶς εἰσιν; πόθεν οὖν τούτῳ ταῦτα πάντὰ; And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?"  
57καὶ ἐσκανδαλίζοντο ἐν αὐτῷ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Οὐκ ἐστιν προφήτης ἀτιμος εἰ μὴ ἐν τῇ πατρίδι καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ. And they took offence at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honour except in his own country and in his own house."  
58καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ δυνάμεις πολλὰς διὰ τὴν ἀπιστίαν αὐτῶν. And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
