Matthew 13:27-52

27

TheG3588 owner’sG3588G3617 servantsG1401 cameG4334 to himG846 and saidG2036, ‘SirG2962, didn’t you sowG3780G4687 goodG2570 seedG4690 inG1722 yourG4674 fieldG68? WhereG4159 thenG3767 didG2192 the weeds come fromG2215?’

28‘An enemyG2190G444 didG4160 thisG3778,’ he repliedG5346.

So the servantsG1401 askedG3004 himG846, ‘Do you wantG2309 us to goG565 and pull them upG4816G846?’

29‘NoG3756G3361,’ he saidG5346, ‘ifG4219 you pullG4816 theG3588 weedsG2215 now, you might uprootG1610 theG3588 wheatG4621 withG260 themG846. 30LetG863 bothG297 grow togetherG4885 untilG2193 theG3588 harvestG2326. At that timeG1722G2540G3588G2326 I will tellG2046 theG3588 harvestersG2327: FirstG4412 collectG4816 theG3588 weedsG2215 andG2532 tieG1210 themG846 inG1519 bundlesG1197 toG4314 be burnedG2618; thenG1161 gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 myG1473 barnG596.’”

31He put beforeG3908 themG846 anotherG243 parableG3850: “TheG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 isG1510 likeG3664 a mustardG4615 seedG2848 thatG3739 a manG444 tookG2983 and plantedG4687 inG1722 hisG846 fieldG68. 32AlthoughG3303 itG3739 isG1510 the smallestG3398 of allG3956 seedsG4690, yetG1161 it grows intoG837G1510 the largestG3173 ofG3588 garden plantsG3001 andG2532 becomesG1096 a treeG1186, so thatG5620 theG3588 birdsG4071 of theG3588 airG3772 comeG2064 andG2532 nestG2681 inG1722 itsG846 branchesG2798.”

33He toldG2980 themG846 still anotherG243 parableG3850: “TheG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 isG1510 likeG3664 leavenG2219 thatG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983 and mixedG1470 intoG1519 threeG5140 measuresG4568 of flourG224, untilG2193 allG3650 of itG3739 was leavenedG2220.”

34

JesusG2424 spokeG2980 allG3956 these thingsG3778 to theG3588 crowdsG3793 inG1722 parablesG3850. He did not tell them anythingG2980G3762G846 without usingG5565 a parableG3850. 35SoG3704 was fulfilledG4137 whatG3588 was spokenG2046 throughG1223 theG3588 prophetG4396:

36ThenG5119 Jesus dismissedG863 theG3588 crowdsG3793 and wentG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 houseG3614. HisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to HimG846 and saidG3004, “ExplainG1285 to usG1473 theG3588 parableG3850 of theG3588 weedsG2215 in theG3588 fieldG68.”

37

He repliedG611, “TheG3588 One who sowsG4687 theG3588 goodG2570 seedG4690 isG1510 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444. 38The fieldG68 isG1510 theG3588 worldG2889, andG1161 the goodG2570 seedG4690 representsG3778G1510 theG3588 sonsG5207 of theG3588 kingdomG932. The weedsG2215 areG1510 theG3588 sonsG5207 of theG3588 evilG4190 one, 39andG1161 theG3588 enemyG2190 who sowsG4687 themG846 isG1510 theG3588 devilG1228. TheG3588 harvestG2326 isG1510 the endG4930 of the ageG165, andG1161 the harvestersG2327 areG1510 angelsG32.

40AsG3767G5618 theG3588 weedsG2215 are collectedG4816 andG2532 burnedG2618 in the fireG4442, soG3779 will it beG1510 atG1722 theG3588 endG4930 of theG3588 ageG165. 41TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 will send outG649 HisG846 angelsG32, andG2532 they will weedG4816 out ofG1537 HisG846 kingdomG932 everyG3956 cause of sinG4625 andG2532 all whoG3588 practiceG4160 lawlessnessG458. 42AndG2532 they will throwG906 themG846 intoG1519 theG3588 fieryG3588G4442 furnaceG2575, where thereG1563 will beG1510 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 ofG3588 teethG3599. 43ThenG5119 theG3588 righteousG1342 will shineG1584 likeG5613 theG3588 sunG2246 inG1722 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 theirG846 FatherG3962.2

He whoG3588 hasG2192 earsG3775, let him hearG191.

44TheG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 isG1510 likeG3664 treasureG2344 hiddenG2928 inG1722 a fieldG68. When a manG444 foundG2147 it, he hidG2928 it again, andG2532 inG575 his joyG5479 he wentG5217 andG2532 soldG4453 allG3956 he hadG2192 andG2532 boughtG59 thatG1565 fieldG68.

45AgainG3825, theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 isG1510 likeG3664 a merchantG444G1713 in search ofG2212 fineG2570 pearlsG3135. 46WhenG1161 he foundG2147 oneG1520 very preciousG4186 pearlG3135, he went awayG565 and soldG4097 allG3956 he hadG2192 andG2532 boughtG59 itG846.

47Once againG3825, theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 isG1510 likeG3664 a netG4522 that was castG906 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281 andG2532 caughtG4863 allG3956 kindsG1085 of fish. 48WhenG3753 it was fullG4137, the men pulledG307 it ashoreG1909G3588G123. ThenG2532 they sat downG2523 and sortedG4816 theG3588 goodG2570 fish intoG1519 containersG30, butG1161 threwG906 theG3588 badG4550 awayG1854.

49SoG3779 will it beG1510 atG1722 theG3588 endG4930 of theG3588 ageG165: TheG3588 angelsG32 will comeG1831 andG2532 separateG873 theG3588 wickedG4190 fromG1537G3319 theG3588 righteousG1342 50andG2532 throwG906 themG846 intoG1519 theG3588 fieryG3588G4442 furnaceG2575, where thereG1563 will beG1510 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 ofG3588 teethG3599.

51Have you understoodG4920 allG3956 these thingsG3778?”

“YesG3483,” they answeredG3004.

52ThenG1161 He toldG2036 themG846, “For this reasonG1223G3778, everyG3956 scribeG1122 who has been discipledG3100 in theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 isG1510 likeG3664 a homeownerG444G3617 whoG3748 bringsG1544 out ofG1537 hisG846 storeroomG2344 newG2537 treasures as well asG2532 oldG3820.”
