Евангелие от Матфея 13
1 В день же той изшед Иисус из дому, седяше при мори.2 И собрашася к нему народи мнози, якоже ему в корабль влезти и сести: и весь народ на брезе стояше.3 И глагола им притчами много, глаголя: се, изыде сеяй, да сеет:4 и сеющу ему, ова падоша при пути, и приидоша птицы и позобаша я:5 другая же падоша на каменных, идеже не имеяху земли многи, и абие прозябоша, зане не имеяху глубины земли:6 солнцу же возсиявшу присвянуша, и зане не имеяху корения, изсхоша:7 другая же падоша в тернии, и взыде терние и подави их:8 другая же падоша на земли добрей и даяху плод, ово убо сто, ово же шестьдесят, ово же тридесять:9 имеяй ушы слышати да слышит.10 И приступивше ученицы (его) рекоша ему: почто притчами глаголеши им?11 Он же отвещав рече им: яко вам дано есть разумети тайны Царствия небеснаго, онем же не дано есть:12 иже бо имать, дастся ему и преизбудет (ему): а иже не имать, и еже имать, возмется от него:13 сего ради в притчах глаголю им, яко видяще не видят, и слышаще не слышат, ни разумеют:14 и сбывается в них пророчество исаиино, глаголющее: слухом услышите, и не имате разумети: и зряще узрите, и не имате видети:15 отолсте бо сердце людий сих, и ушима тяжко слышаша, и очи свои смежиша, да не когда узрят очима, и ушима услышат, и сердцем уразумеют, и обратятся, и изцелю их.16 Ваша же блаженна очеса, яко видят, и уши ваши, яко слышат:17 аминь бо глаголю вам, яко мнози пророцы и праведницы вожделеша видети, яже видите, и не видеша, и слышати, яже слышите, и не слышаша.18 Вы же услышите притчу сеющаго:19 всякому слышащему слово Царствия и не разумевающу, приходит лукавый и восхищает всеянное в сердцы его: сие есть, еже при пути сеянное.20 А на камени сеянное, сие есть слышай слово и абие с радостию приемлет е:21 не имать же корене в себе, но привременен есть: бывши же печали или гонению словесе ради, абие соблажняется.22 А сеянное в тернии, се есть слышай слово, и печаль века сего и лесть богатства подавляет слово, и без плода бывает.23 А сеянное на добрей земли, се есть слышай слово и разумевая: иже убо плод приносит и творит ово сто, ово же шестьдесят, ово тридесять.24 Ину притчу предложи им, глаголя: уподобися Царствие небесное человеку, сеявшу доброе семя на селе своем:25 спящым же человеком, прииде враг его и всея плевелы посреде пшеницы и отиде:26 егда же прозябе трава и плод сотвори, тогда явишася и плевелие.27 Пришедше же раби господина, реша ему: господи, не доброе ли семя сеял еси на селе твоем? откуду убо имать плевелы?28 Он же рече им: враг человек сие сотвори. Раби же реша ему: хощеши ли убо, да шедше исплевем я?29 Он же рече (им): ни: да не когда восторгающе плевелы, восторгнете купно с ними (и) пшеницу:30 оставите расти обое купно до жатвы: и во время жатвы реку жателем: соберите первее плевелы и свяжите их в снопы, яко сожещи я: а пшеницу соберите в житницу мою.31 Ину притчу предложи им, глаголя: подобно есть Царствие небесное зерну горушичну, еже взем человек всея на селе своем,32 еже малейше убо есть от всех семен: егда же возрастет, более (всех) зелий есть и бывает древо, яко приити птицам небесным и витати на ветвех его.33 Ину притчу глагола им: подобно есть Царствие небесное квасу, егоже вземши жена скры в сатех триех муки, дондеже вскисоша вся.34 Сия вся глагола Иисус в притчах народом, и без притчи ничесоже глаголаше к ним:35 яко да сбудется реченное пророком, глаголющим: отверзу в притчах уста моя: отрыгну сокровенная от сложения мира.36 Тогда оставль народы, прииде в дом Иисус. И приступиша к нему ученицы его, глаголюще: скажи нам притчу плевел селных.37 Он же отвещав рече им: сеявый доброе семя есть Сын Человеческий:38 а село есть мир: доброе же семя, сии суть сынове Царствия, а плевелие суть сынове неприязненнии:39 а враг всеявый их есть диавол: а жатва кончина века есть: а жатели ангели суть.40 Якоже убо собирают плевелы и огнем сожигают, тако будет в скончание века сего:41 послет Сын Человеческий ангелы своя, и соберут от Царствия его вся соблазны и творящих беззаконие42 и ввергут их в пещь огненну: ту будет плачь и скрежет зубом:43 тогда праведницы просветятся яко солнце в Царствии Отца их. Имеяй ушы слышати да слышит.44 Паки подобно есть Царствие небесное сокровищу сокровену на селе, еже обрет человек скры, и от радости его идет, и вся, елика имать, продает, и купует село то.45 Паки подобно есть Царствие небесное человеку купцу, ищущу добрых бисерей,46 иже обрет един многоценен бисер, шед продаде вся, елика имяше, и купи его.47 Паки подобно есть Царствие небесное неводу ввержену в море и от всякаго рода собравшу,48 иже егда исполнися, извлекоша и на край, и седше избраша добрыя в сосуды, а злыя извергоша вон.49 Тако будет в скончание века: изыдут ангели, и отлучат злыя от среды праведных,50 и ввергут их в пещь огненную: ту будет плачь и скрежет зубом.51 глагола им Иисус: разуместе ли сия вся? Глаголаша ему: ей, Господи.52 Он же рече им: сего ради всяк книжник, научився Царствию небесному, подобен есть человеку домовиту, иже износит от сокровища своего новая и ветхая.53 И бысть, егда сконча Иисус притчи сия, прейде оттуду.54 И пришед во отечествие свое, учаше их на сонмищи их, яко дивитися им и глаголати: откуду сему премудрость сия и силы?55 не сей ли есть тектонов Сын? не Мати ли его нарицается Мариам, и братия его иаков и иосий, и симон и иуда?56 и сестры его не вся ли в нас суть? откуду убо сему сия вся?57 И блажняхуся о нем. Иисус же рече им: несть пророк без чести, токмо во отечествии своем и в дому своем.58 И не сотвори ту сил многих за неверство их.
Matthew 13
The Parable of the Sower
1 On that day after Jesus went out of the house, he sat by the lake.2 And such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat to sit whilet the whole crowd stood on the shore.3 Het told them many things in parables,s saying: “Listen!t A sower went out to sow.s4 And as he sowed, some seedst fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them.5 Othert seeds fell on rocky grounds where they did not have much soil. They sprang up quickly because the soil was not deep.t6 But when the sun came up, they were scorched, and because they did not have sufficient root, they withered.7 Other seeds fell among the thorns,s and they grew up and choked them.s8 But other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 The one who has ears had better listen!”t
10 Thent the disciples came to him and said, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”11 He replied,t “You have been givent the opportunity to knowt the secretsts of the kingdom of heaven, but they have not.12 For whoever has will be given more, and will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.s13 For this reason I speak to them in parables: Although they see they do not see, and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand.
14 And concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
‘You will listen carefullytyet will never understand,
you will look closelytyet will never comprehend.
15 For the heart of this people has become dull;
they are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes,
so that they would not see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’s
16 “But your eyes are blesseds because they see, and your ears because they hear.
17 For I tell you the truth,t many prophets and righteous people longed to sees what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 “So listen to the parable of the sower:19 When anyone hears the word about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil ones comes and snatches what was sown in his heart;s this is the seed sown along the path.20 Thet seed sown on rocky groundt is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.21 But he has no root in himself and does not endure;t whent trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.22 Thet seed sown among thorns is the person who hears the word, but worldly cares and the seductiveness of wealtht choke the word,s so it produces nothing.
23 But as for the seed sown on good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands. He bears fruit, yielding a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”t
The Parable of the Weeds
24 He presented them with another parable:t “The kingdom of heaven is like a person who sowed good seed in his field.25 But while everyone was sleeping, an enemy came and sowed weedst among the wheat and went away.26 Whent the plants sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.27 So the slavest of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Then where did the weeds come from?’28 He said, ‘An enemy has done this.’ Sot the slaves replied, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them?’29 But he said, ‘No, since in gathering the weeds you may uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest. Att harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned, but thent gathert the wheat into my barn.”’”
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
31 He gavet them another parable:t “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seeds that a man took and sowed in his field.
32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest garden plant and becomes a tree,s so that the wild birdst come and nest in its branches.”s
The Parable of the Yeast
33 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed witht three measuress of flour until all the dough had risen.”ts
The Purpose of Parables
34 Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the crowds; he did not speak to them without a parable.
35 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet:st
“I will open my mouth in parables,
I will announce what has been hidden from the foundation of the world.”s
Explanation for the Disciples
36 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 in the field.”37 Het answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.38 The field is the world and the good seed are the peoplet of the kingdom. The weeds are the peoplet of the evil one,39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels.40 Ast the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age.41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes sin as well as all lawbreakers.t42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace,s where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.s The one who has ears had better listen!t
Parables on the Kingdom of Heaven
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field, that a person found and hid. Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
46 When he found a pearl of great value, he went out and sold everything he had and bought it.
47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea that caught all kinds of fish.48 When it was full, they pulled it ashore, sat down, and put the good fish into containers and threw the bad away.49 It will be this way at the end of the age. Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous
50 and throw them into the fiery furnace,s where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51 “Have you understood all these things?” They replied, “Yes.”
52 Then he said to them, “Therefore every expert in the lawt who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure what is new and old.”
Rejection at Nazareth
53 Now whent Jesus finished these parables, he moved on from there.54 Thent he came to his hometowns and began to teach the peoplet in their synagogue.s Theyt were astonished and said, “Where did this man get such wisdom and miraculous powers?55 Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother named Mary?s And aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?56 And aren’t all his sisters here with us? Where did he get all this?”t57 And so they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own house.”
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
