Mat. 13:2 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) many (polloi) crowds (ochloi) were brought together (sunēchthēsan) to (pros) him (auton), and so (hōste) he was embarking (embanta) into (eis) [a] ship (ploion) to cause himself to sit down (kathēsthai).

Mat. 13:4 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) in (en) the (tō) [time, AE] of him (auton) to sow (speirein), truly (men) [there were, AE] ones which (ha) fell (epesen) alongside (para) the (tēn) way (hodon)

And (kai) straightaway (eutheōs) it rose up out (exaneteilen), through (dia) [the sake] of the (to) soil (gēs) not (mē) to have (echein) depth (bathos).

 

Mat. 13:6 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) [the] sun (hēliou) having rose up (anateilantos), it was burned (ekaumatisthē);

Mat. 13:11 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [Jesus, v1, RE] having been caused to make [a] decision (apokritheis), he enunciated (eipen) to them (autois), “Because (hoti) it has been given (dedotai) for you (humin) to know (gnōnai) the (ta) mysteries (musteria) of the (tēs) Kingdom932 (basileias) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn).

 

But (de) to those (ekeinois) it has absolutely not been given (ou dedotai)!

 

Mat. 13:12 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) to one who (hostis) has (echei) [beautiful soil, v8, RE], to him (autō) shall be given (dothēsetai) [the mysteries of the Kingdom of the God, v11, RE], and (kai) he shall be caused to abound (perisseuthēsetai).

 

But (de) to one who (hostis) absolutely does not have (ouk echei) [beautiful soil, v8, RE], that which (ho) also (kai) he has (echei) shall be removed (arthēsetai) from (ap’) him (autou)!

 

Mat. 13:13 (LIT/UBS4) Through (dia) [the sake, AE] of this (touto) I speak (lalō) to them (autois) in (en) parables (parabolais):

 

because (hoti) they being ones seeing (blepontes), they absolutely do not see (ou blepousin) [parables, RE]!

And (kai) you being ones seeing (blepontes), you shall look at (blepsete) [[a] thing seen, RE] and (kai) no (mē), absolutely not (ou) might you see (idēte)!

 

Mat. 13:15 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (hē) heart (kardia) of the (tou) people (laou) of this (toutou) was made thick3975 (epachunthē);

 

and (kai) the (tois) ears (ōsin) heard (ēkousan) weightily (bareōs);

 

and (kai) the (tous) eyes (ophthalmous) of them (autōn) are closed down (ekammusan).

 

At no time (mēpote) <might> the (tois) eyes (ophthalmois) see (idōsin), and (kai) <might> the (tois) ears (ōsin) hear (akousōsin), and (kai) <might> the (tē) heart (kardia) [of the people, RE] put it together (sunōsin), and (kai) they <might> turn back (epistrepsōsin) and (kai) I shall cause myself to heal (iasomai) them (autous)!’

 

(See Isaiah 6:9-10; Mat. 13:14-15; Acts 28:26-27)

 

Mat. 13:16 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (hoi) eyes (ophthalmoi) of you (humōn) [are] happy ones (makarioi) because (hoti) they see (blepousin) [parables, v13, RE], and (kai) the (ta) ears (ōta) of you (humōn) [are] [happy ones, RE] because (hoti) they hear (akouousin) [parables, v13, RE].

 

Mat. 13:17 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) truly (amēn) I say (legō) to you (humin), that (hoti) many (polloi) prophets (prophētai) and (kai) righteous ones (dikaioi) lusted (epethumēsan) to see (idein) things which (ha) you look at (blepete), and (kai) they absolutely did not see (ouk eidan) [those things, RE];

 

and (kai) to hear (akousai) things which (ha) you hear (akouete), and (kai) they absolutely did not hear (ouk ēkousan) [those things, RE]!

 

Mat. 13:18 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), you (humeis) hear (akousate) the (tēn) parable (parabolēn) of the (tou) [the seed, AE] having been sown (speirantos).

 

Mat. 13:19 (LIT/UBS4) Of anyone (pantos) hearing (akouontos) the (ton) Word (logon) of the (tēs) Kingdom932 (basileias) and (kai) not putting [the Word of the Kingdom, RE] together (mē sunientos), the (ho) evil one (ponēros) causes himself to come (erchetai) and (kai) he snatches (harpazei) the (to) [Word of the Kingdom, RE] having been sown (esparmenon) in (en) the (tē) heart (kardia) of him (autou).

 

This (houtos) [seed, AE] is (estin) the (ho) [Word of the Kingdom, RE] having been sown (spareis) alongside (para) the (tēn) way (hodon)

 

See verses 3-4

Mat. 13:20 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [seed, AE] having been sown (spareis) upon (epi) the (ta) stony places (petrōdē), this (houtos) [stony place, RE] is (estin) the one (ho) hearing (akouōn) the (ton) Word (logon) and (kai) straightaway (euthus) receiving (lambanōn) it (auton) with (meta) joy (charas);

But (de) something of mental pressure having caused itself to come (genomenēs thlipseōs), or (ē) [a] pursuit (diōgmou) [having caused itself to come, RE] through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (ton) Word (logon), straightaway (euthus) he is scandalized (skandalizetai)!

 

Mat. 13:22 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [seed, AE] having been sown (spareis) into (eis) the (tas) thorns (akanthas), this (houtos) [thorny place, RE] is (estin) the one (ho) hearing (akouōn) the (ton) Word (logon).

Mat. 13:23 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [seed, AE] being sown (stareis) upon (epi) the (tēn) beautiful (kalēn) soil (gēn), this (houtos) [beautiful soil, RE] is (estin) the one (ho) hearing (akouōn) and (kai) putting together (sunieis) the (ton) Word (logon), one who (hos) by all means (dē) brings forth produce (karpophorei).

A Mortal Having Sown Beautiful Seed

 

Mat. 13:24 (LIT/UBS4) He passed along (parethēken) another (allēn) parable (parabolēn) to them (autois), saying (legōn), “The (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn) was made [a] likeness (hōmoiōthē) to [a] mortal (anthrōpō) having sown (speiranti) beautiful (kalon) seed (sperma) in (en) the (tō) field (agro) of him (autou).

 

Mat. 13:25 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) in (en) the (tō) [time, AE] the (tous) mortals (anthrōpous) were down to sleep (katheudein) the (ho) hated one (echthros) of him (autou) came (ēlthen) and (kai) sowed zizania up over (epespeiren zizania ana) amidst (meson) the (tou) grain (sitou), and (kai) went away (apēlthen).

 

Mat. 13:26 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) when (hote) the (ho) fodder (chortos) sprouted (eblastēsen) and (kai) made (epoiēsen) produce (karpon), then (tote) the (ta) zizania (zizania) was shown (ephanē) also (kai).

 

Mat. 13:27 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (hoi) slaves (douloi) of the (tou) house master (oikodespotou) having come to (proselthontes) [the house master, RE], they enunciated (eipon) to him (autō), ‘Lord (kurie), did you absolutely not sow (ouchi espeiras) beautiful (kalon) seed (sperma) in (en) the (tō) field (agrō) to you (sō)?

 

Therefore (oun), from where (pothen) does it have (echei) zizania (zizania)!?’

 

Mat. 13:28 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [house master, v27, RE] shed light5346 (ephē) to them (autois), ‘[A] mortal (anthrōpos), [a] hated one (echthros), did (epoiēsen) this (touto).’

 

But (de) the (hoi) slaves (douloi) say (legousin) to him (autō), ‘Therefore (oun), having gone away (apelthontes) do you desire (theleis) [that, AE] we may collect them together (sullexōmen auta)?’

 

Mat. 13:29 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) [house master, v27, RE] shed light5346 (phēsin), ‘Absolutely not (ou), at no time (mēpote)!

 

You ones collecting together (sullegontes) the (ta) zizania (zizania) may root out (ekrizōsēte) the (ton) grain (siton) at the same time (hama) [collecting together, RE] them (autois)!

 

Mat. 13:30 (LIT/UBS4) Let go (aphete) of both (amphotera) to grow together (sunauxanesthai) until (heōs) the (tou) harvest (therismou). 

 

And (kai) in (en) time (kairō) of the (tou) harvest (therismou) I shall state (erō) to the (tois) harvesters (theristais),Collect together (sullexate) first (prōton) the (ta) zizania (zizania), and (kai) bind (dēsate) them (auta) into (eis) bundles (desmas) toward (pros) the (to) [fire, AE] to burn them down (katakausai auta)

 

But (de) of the (ton) grain (siton), bring [the grain, RE] together (sunagagete) into (eis) the (tēn) apothecary (apothēkēn) of me (mou).’

A Kernel Of A Mustard Tree

 

Mat. 13:31 (LIT/UBS4) He passed along (parethēken) another (allēn) parable (parabolēn) to them (autois), saying (legōn), The (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn) is (estin) like (homoia) [a] kernel (kokkō) of [a] mustard tree (sinapeōs);

 

of which (hon) [a] mortal (anthrōpos) having taken (labōn) [[a] kernel of [a] mustard tree, RE] he sowed (espeiren) [[a] kernel, RE] in (en) the (tō) field (agrō) of him (autou);

 

Mat. 13:32 (LIT/UBS4) which (ho) [kernel, v31, RE], truly (men), is (estin) [a] small one (mikroteron) of all (pantōn) of the (tōn) seeds (spermatōn)!

 

But (de) perhaps when (hotan) it may be caused to grow (auxēthē) it is (estin) [a] greater one (meizon) of the (tōn) cultivated plants (lachanōn), and (kai) it causes itself to become (ginetai) [a] tree (dendron);

 

and so (hōste) the (ta) flying animals (peteina) of the (tou) heaven (ouranou) come (elthein) and (kai) tent down (kataskēnoun) in (en) the (tois) branches (kladois) of it (autou).”

 

Leaven

 

Mat. 13:33 (LIT/UBS4) He spoke (elalēsen) to them (autois) another (allēn) parable (parabolēn): “The (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn) is (en) like (homoia) leaven (zumē);

 

of which (hēn) [a] female (gunē) having taken (labousa) [leaven, ER] she hid [leaven, ER] in (enekrupsen) into (eis) three (tria) dry measures (sata) of [a] grind (aleurou), until (heōs) of which (hou) [time, AE] [the] whole (holon) [grind, RE] was leavened (ezumōthē)!”

 

(For the God, under his new covenant, being IN believers, and he working IN and THROUGH them, see Lev. 26:11-12; Ezek. 11:19-20, 36:25-27; Mat. 13:33; Luke 17:20-21; John 3:3-8, 14:20-21, 26, 17:14-21; Rom. 8:8-11; 1 Cor. 3:16-17, 6:19-20; 2 Cor. 4:3-7, 6:14-7:1, 13:3-5, 14; Gal. 1:15-16, 2:20, 4:18-19; Eph. 2:17-22, 3:14-19; Col. 1:27; 2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. 3:6, 13:20-21; 1 John 3:23-24, 4:7-8, 15-16)

 

Mat. 13:34 (LIT/UBS4) The (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) spoke (elalēsan) all (panta) these things (tauta) in (en) parables (parabolais) to the (tois) crowds (ochlois).

 

And (kai) apart from (chōris) [a] parable (parabolēs) absolutely not one (ouden) [Word, v23, RE] was he speaking (elalei) to them (autois)!

 

Mat. 13:35 (LIT/UBS4) It so being that (hopōs) the (to) [prophecy, AE] may be fulfilled (plērōthē) having been stated (rhēthen) through (dia) the (tou) prophet (prophētou) saying (legontos), “I shall open up (anoixō) the (to) mouth (stoma) of me (mou) in (en) to parables (parabolais);

 

I shall cause myself to regurgitate (ereuxomai) things having been hidden (kekrummena) from/since (apo) [a/the] downthrow (katabolēs) of [the] cosmos (kosmou).” 

 

(See Psalm 78:2)

 

Mat. 13:36 (LIT/UBS4) Then (tote) having let go (apheis) of the (tous) crowds (ochlous), Jesus (Iēsous) went (ēlthen) into (eis) the (tēn) house (oikian).

 

And (kai) the (hoi) disciples (mathētai) of him (autou) came to (prosēlthon) him (autō), saying (legontes), “Make thoroughly clear (diasaphēson) to us (hēmin) the (tēn) parable (parabolēn) of the (tou) zizania (zizaniōn) of the (tou) field (agrou)!

 

Mat. 13:37 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he (ho) [Jesus, v36, RE] having been caused to make [a] decision (apokritheis), he enunciated (eipen), “The one (ho) sowing (speirōn) the (to) beautiful (kalon) seed (sperma) is (estin) the (ho) Son (huios) of the (tou) Mortal (anthropou).

 

Mat. 13:38 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) field (agros) is (estin) the (ho) cosmos (kosmos)

 

But (de) the (ho) beautiful (kalon) seed (sperma), these ones (houtoi) are (eisin) the (hoi) sons (huioi) of the (tēs) Kingdom932 (basileias)

 

But (de) the (ta) zizania (zizania) are (eisin) the (hoi) sons (huioi) of the (tou) evil (ponērou) [kingdoms, vLuke 4:5-6, RE].

 

Mat. 13:39 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) hated one (echthros), the one (ho) having sown (speiras) them (auta), is (estin) the (ho) diabolical one (diabolos).  

 

But (de) the (ho) harvest (therismos) is (estin) [the] complete coming together (sunteleia) of [the] age (aiōnos)

 

But (de) the (hoi) harvesters (theristai) are (eisin) messengers (angeloi).

 

Mat. 13:40 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), so be it as (hōsper) the (ta) zizania (zizanion) are collected together (sullegetai) and (kai) [are] down (kata) for fire (puri), thusly (houtōs) shall it cause itself to be (estai) in (en) the (tē) complete coming together (sunteleia) of the (tou) age (aiōnos).

 

Mat. 13:41 (LIT/UBS4) The (ho) Son (huios) of the (tou) Mortal (anthrōpou) shall send (apostelei) the (tous) messengers (angelous) of him (autou), and (kai) they shall collect together (sullexousin) out (ek) of the (tēs) Kingdom932 (basileias) of him (autou) all (panta) of the (ta) scandalous ones (skandala), and (kai) the ones (tous) doing (poiountas) the (tēn) lawlessness (anomian).

 

Mat. 13:42 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) they shall throw (balousin) them (autous) into (eis) the (tēn) furnace (kaminon) of the (tou) fire (puri).

 

There (ekei) the (ho) wailing (klauthmos), and (kai) the (ho) grinding (brugmos) of the (tōn) teeth (odontōn), shall cause itself to be (estai).

 

Mat. 13:43 (LIT/UBS4) Then (tote) the (hoi) righteous ones (dikaioi) shall shine out (eklampsousin) as (hōs) the (ho) sun (hēlios) in (en) the (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tou) Father (patros) of them (autōn).  

 

The one (ho) having (echōn) ears (ōta), hear (akouetō).

 

(For Jesus’ kingdom see Mat. 13:37-43; 1 Cor. 15:24-28; Eph. 1:19-23; Heb. 2:5-8)

A Treasure

 

Mat. 13:44 (LIT/UBS4) The (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn) is (estin) like (homoia) [a] treasure (thēsaurō) having been hidden (kekrummenō) in (en) the (tō) field (agrō);

 

of which (hon) [a] mortal (anthrōpos) having found (heurōn) [[the] treasure, ER], he hid (ekrupsen) [[the] treasure, ER]. 

 

And (kai) from (apo) the (tēs) joy (charas) of him (autou) he gets underway (hupagei) and (kai) sells (pōlei) all (panta), as many things as (hosa) he has (echei), and (kai) he goes to market to buy (agorazei) the (ton) field (agron) of that (ekeinon)!

 

A Pearl

 

Mat. 13:45 (LIT/UBS4) Again (palin), the (hē) Kingdom932 (basileia) of the (tōn) Heavens (ouranōn) is (estin) like (homoia) [a] mortal (anthrōpō), [a] merchant (emporō) searching (zētounti) for beautiful (kalous) pearls (margaritas).

 

Mat. 13:46 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he having found (heurōn) one (hen) very valuable (polutimon) pearl (margaritēn), having gone away (apelthōn) he sold (pepraken) all (panta), as many things as (hosa) he was having (eichen), and (kai) he went to market to buy (ēgorasen) it (auton).

 

A Net Full Of Fish
