Berean Standard Bible
Matthew 13:1-15
ThatG1565 same dayG2250 JesusG2424 went outG1831 of theG3588 houseG3614 and satG2521 byG3844 theG3588 seaG2281. 2Such largeG4183 crowdsG3793 gatheredG4863 aroundG4314 HimG846 thatG5620 HeG846 got intoG1684G1519 a boatG4143 and sat downG2521, whileG2532 allG3956 theG3588 peopleG3793 stoodG2476 onG1909 theG3588 shoreG123.
3AndG2532 He toldG2980 themG846 many thingsG4183 inG1722 parablesG3850, sayingG3004, “A farmerG3588G4687 went outG1831 to sow his seedG4687. 4AndG2532 asG1722 he wasG846 sowingG4687, someG3739 seed fellG4098 alongG3844 theG3588 pathG3598, andG2532 theG3588 birdsG4071 cameG2064 and devouredG2719 itG846.
SomeG243 fellG4098 onG1909 rocky groundG4075, whereG3699 it did not haveG3756G2192 muchG4183 soilG1093. It sprang upG1816 quicklyG2112 becauseG1223 the soilG1093 wasG2192 shallowG3361G899. 6ButG1161 when the sunG2246 roseG393, the seedlings were scorchedG2739, andG2532 they witheredG3583 becauseG1223 they hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491.
OtherG243 seed fellG4098 amongG1909 thornsG173, which grew upG305 andG2532 chokedG4155 the seedlings.
8StillG1161 otherG243 seed fellG4098 onG1909 goodG2570 soilG1093 andG2532 producedG1325 a cropG2590—a hundredfoldG1540, sixtyfoldG1835, or thirtyfoldG5144.
9He whoG3588 hasG2192 earsG3775,1 let him hearG191.”
10ThenG2532 theG3588 disciplesG3101 came toG4334 Jesus and askedG2036, “WhyG1223G5101 do You speakG2980 toG846 the people inG1722 parablesG3850?”
He repliedG611G2036G846, “The knowledgeG1097 of theG3588 mysteriesG3466 of theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 has been givenG1325 to youG4771, butG1161 notG3756 to themG1565. 12WhoeverG3748 hasG2192 will be givenG1325 more, andG2532 he will have an abundanceG4052. WhoeverG3748 does notG3756 haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he hasG2192 will be taken awayG142 fromG575 himG846. 13ThisG3778 is whyG1223 I speakG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850:
In themG846 theG3588 prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268 is fulfilledG378:
