Matthew 13:31-58

31Another parableG3850 setG3908 he before them, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto a grainG2848 of mustardG4615 seed, which a manG444 tookG2983, and sowedG4687 in his fieldG68: 32which indeed isG1510 less than all seedsG4690; but whenG3752 it isG1510 grownG837, it isG1510 greaterG3173 than the herbs, and becometh a treeG1186, so that the birdsG4071 of the heavenG3772 comeG2064 and lodge in the branchesG2798 thereof.

33Another parableG3850 spake he unto them; The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto leavenG2219, which a womanG1135 tookG2983, and hidG1470 in threeG5140 measures of meal, till it wasG1510 all leavenedG2220.

34All these thingsG3778 spake JesusG2424 in parablesG3850 unto the multitudesG3793; and without a parableG3850 spake he nothing unto them: 35that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophetG4396, sayingG3004,

36Then he leftG863 the multitudesG3793, and went into the houseG3614: and his disciplesG3101 cameG2064 unto him, sayingG3004, Explain unto us the parableG3850 of the tares of the fieldG68. 37And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, He that soweth the goodG2570 seedG4690 isG1510 the SonG5207 of manG444; 38and the fieldG68 isG1510 the worldG2889; and the goodG2570 seedG4690, these areG1510 the sonsG5207 of the kingdomG932; and the tares areG1510 the sonsG5207 of the evilG4190 oneG3778; 39and the enemyG2190 that sowedG4687 them isG1510 the devilG1228: and the harvestG2326 isG1510 the end of the world; and the reapers areG1510 angelsG32. 40As thereforeG3767 the tares areG1510 gatheredG4816 up and burnedG2618 with fireG4442; so shall it beG1510 in the end of the world. 41The SonG5207 of manG444 shall sendG649 forthG649 his angelsG32, and they shall gatherG4816 out of his kingdomG932 all thingsG3956 that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42and shall castG906 them into the furnaceG2575 of fireG4442: there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. 43ThenG5119 shall the righteousG1342 shine forth as the sunG2246 in the kingdomG932 of their FatherG3962. He that hath earsG3775, let him hearG191.

44The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto a treasureG2344 hiddenG2928 in the fieldG68; which a manG444 foundG2147, and hidG2928; and in his joyG5479 he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that fieldG68.

45AgainG3825, the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto a manG444 that isG1510 a merchantG1713 seekingG2212 goodly pearlsG3135: 46and having foundG2147 oneG1520 pearlG3135 of great price, he wentG565 and sold all that he had, and boughtG59 it.

47AgainG3825, the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto a net, that wasG1510 castG906 into the seaG2281, and gatheredG4863 of every kind: 48which, whenG3753 it was filledG4137, they drew up on the beach; and they satG2523 downG2523, and gatheredG4816 the goodG2570 into vessels, but the badG4550 they castG906 away. 49So shall it beG1510 in the end of the world: the angelsG32 shall comeG1831 forthG1831, and sever the wickedG4190 from among the righteousG1342, 50and shall castG906 them into the furnaceG2575 of fireG4442: there shall beG1510 the weepingG2805 and the gnashingG1030 of teethG3599.

51Have ye understoodG4920 all these thingsG3778? They sayG3004 unto him, Yea. 52And he saidG3004 unto them, Therefore every scribeG1122 who hath beenG1510 made a disciple to the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG1510 like unto a manG444 that isG1510 a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasureG2344 thingsG3778 newG2537 and oldG3820.

53And it cameG1096 to passG1096, whenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 these parablesG3850, he departed thence.

54And comingG2064 into his ownG1438 country he taughtG1321 them in their synagogueG4864, insomuch that they were astonishedG1605, and saidG3004, Whence hath this manG3778 this wisdomG4678, and these mightyG1411 works? 55IsG1510 not this the carpenter’sG5045 sonG5207? isG1510 not his motherG3384 called MaryG3137? and his brethren, JamesG2385, and JosephG2501, and SimonG4613, and JudasG2455? 56And his sistersG79, areG1510 they not all with us? Whence then hath this manG3778 all these thingsG3778? 57And they wereG1510 offendedG4624 in him. But JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, A prophetG4396 isG1510 not without honorG820, save in his ownG2398 country, and in his ownG2398 houseG3614. 58And he did not manyG4183 mightyG1411 works there because of their unbeliefG570.
